A terrific collection Its great, and its got some of his best older songs like "Honky-Tonk Man" and "Thousand Miles From Nowhere," and some newer ones like "Late Great Golden State. After I first heard This Time I knew I had to give this Best Of CD a listen. " A lot of the songs deal with fairly standard material, but what sets them apart is that Dwight's voice really lends itself to the song and isn't just blowhard country pomposity, unlike Toby Keith or similar. He also branches out beyond the straightforward hillbilly style of music, tackling songs like Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" and Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love. " I would highly recommend this to a new fan of Dwight, and also check out any of his albums, especially his first one Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. , Etc. or even Population Me. I am a big fan of Dwight Yoakam's style of country, he sings really well and is a lot more genuine than a lot of other country music stars. If you are a fan of country or of music in general, check this out. .
Dwight Rocks
I love A Thousand Miles from Nowhere. Incredible mix of his vocal and lyrics. No album of his would be complete without it. I Sang Dixie melts my heart. A truly wonderful album. .
Always the Best from Dwight !!
Have shared this CD with friends and even those who are not big fans of Country loved it. I have loved Dwight's Music for years and this is definitely the Very Best.
Great
I think he is great and what country should be. I started paying attention to Dwight Yoakam not long ago. .
This is the one I listen too when I'm driving.
Oh yeah. . and I sing along. This is sophisticated country. This CD will please your senses and awaken your imagination. If you think you don't like country music. . . listen to this one and you'll think again.
