Dwight Yoakam Albums

Kentucky-bred singer and song-writer Dwight Yoakam makes his Los Angeles country music get up and go. As he boasts on the Johnny Horton cover that launches Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., Yoakam's a honky-tonk man; it's the only thing that keeps him hanging on. He doesn't cut up much about it, but his dedication to hard country has yielded a.

In the vein of 1995’s Gone, Dwight Yoakam continues to argue for an alternative-country future. Expanding his retro Bakersfield sound with significant flourishes of more contemporary and not-so-contemporary pop, rock, and soul, A Long Way Home is an aurally stunning and eclectic recording. “These Arms” begins as a Ray Price shuffle, then seamlessly morphs into a dramatic pop gem, while the thrilling “Yet to Succeed” and “I’ll Just Take These” are modern countrypolitan. And mixed among the country pop are roadhouse rockers and bluegrassy hollers, all with some of the more arresting lyrics of Yoakam’s career. His last three releases–collections of live tracks, quirky covers and Christmas songs–have been distressingly subpar, but A Long Way Home finds Yoakam not as far from home as we’d feared. –David Cantwell

Country wouldn’t be country without violin strings, of course, but please, give us only the type that fiddlers, not Philharmonics, play. Luckily, that is the only misstep in this collection of 13 heartbreak ballads and honky-tonk tunes that feature stellar performances by the wonderful band Yoakam has assembled. — People

Mostly, A Long Way Home represents his Roy Orbison move. Big, grand, sweeping, operatic and heart-on-the-sleeve emotive…. — No Depression

Potential girlfriends, consider yourselves warned. Few other performers are capable of the kind of sustained bitterness Dwight Yoakam expresses on A Long Way Home…. Indeed, it takes the album’s full length to appreciate the depth of vitriol into which Yoakam will plunge. Musically, Home is perhaps the sparest of Yoakam’s 11 albums, following the more experimental stylings of Gone and Under the Covers. — USA Today
