	Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room New - Vinyl - 9 25749-1 Sealed 1988 Original. Absolute Sound recommended. Dwight Yoakam's "Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room," released in 1988, marked a significant moment in the resurgence of the Bakersfield sound and the broader neotraditional country movement. The album, Yoakam's third studio release, was produced by Pete Anderson and recorded in Los Angeles. Its sound reflected Yoakam's reverence for classic honky-tonk and influences from artists like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, yet it carried his own distinctive edge and contemporary sensibility. Featuring sharp, twangy guitars and a spare, hard-driving rhythm section, the album stood in contrast to the pop-oriented production dominating country radio at the time. The album's most notable achievement was the chart-topping duet "Streets of Bakersfield" with Buck Owens, which not only earned Owens his first number one in over a decade but also introduced a new generation to the Bakersfield legend. Other tracks, such as "I Sang Dixie" and the title song, showcased Yoakam's depth as a songwriter, with themes of heartbreak, loss, and rural alienation. Critically acclaimed, "Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room" solidified Yoakam's place as a key figure in the country revival of the late 1980s and helped pave the way for other artists dedicated to traditionalist sounds within contemporary country music. more
	Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room Used - Vinyl - 1-25749 1988 US original Allied pressing with printed inner sleeve and gold promo stamp. Custom hype sticker affixed to front cover. "The third effort from Kentucky's Dwight Yoakam shows the first signs of beginning to stretch out and be comfortable with his unique approach to hard honky tonk music, Bakersfield-style. Buenos Noches From a Lonely Room features a number of variations on the themes Yoakam explores in his songs -- mainly heartache. Not since Leon Payne has anyone gone from love that is so obsessive it cares not a whit for the most basic of life's needs ("I Got You"), to a murderous jealousy ("What I Don't Know"), to homicide ("Buenos Noches From a Lonely Room [She Wore Red Dresses]") in the first five songs. In addition, Yoakam and producer/guitarist Pete Anderson are exploring the colorations of other instruments in their mix such as the addition of the legendary Flaco Jimenez's accordion on the title track. The transition tracks between these three facets of human meltdown are the stunning melody in "One More Name" and a radical cover of Johnny Cash's "Home of the Blues." In addition, there's a read of J.D. Miller's "I Hear You Knockin" as an alternate ending, though it's still plenty dark. After the murder in the title track, the cycle is complete, and the album shifts gears radically. It kicks off with a balladic elegy to a worn-out drunk called "I Sang Dixie," full of lilting fiddle and subtle singing leads from Anderson. It's a tearjerker in classic country fashion, its tone almost reverential. Track two is a duet with Yoakam's hero, Buck Owens, who came out of retirement -- briefly -- to record this song and a new album. There's only one song the pair could sing together, the anthem of lost but proud down-and-out ramblers, and that's Homer Joy's "Streets of Bakersfield." The other cover here is Hank Locklin's beautiful love song "Send Me the Pillow" with a return by Maria McKee on backing vocals (she sang a duet on "Bury Me" with Yoakam on Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.). The pair are as natural together as Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris were, though far more traditional in their approach. As chapter three in the Dwight Yoakam restoration of honky tonk music project, this is the best yet." All Music Guide – Thom Jurek more

	Dwight's Used Records Colored Vinyl - New - NW5430 Sealed 2020 Vinyl Original, Slated To Be Pressed On Gold Vinyl. Custom Indie Retail Hype Sticker On Shrink. "Few If Any Major Country Artists Of The 1980s And '90s Had As Consistent A Run Of Strong Recordings As Dwight Yoakam, And This Compilation Proves That Even The Material He Gave Away Was Better Than What Most Of His Peers Were Sending Out As Top-shelf Product. Dwight's Used Records Features Cuts Yoakam Contributed To Several Tribute Compilations, Duets That Appeared On Other Artists' Albums, And A Few Unreleased Covers, And While The Results Aren't Quite As Cohesive As A Proper Album, Nearly Everything Here Would Have Fit The Bill On A "Real" Dwight Yoakam Album. His Duets With Deana Carter And Heather Myles Show What A Generous Vocal Partner He Can Be, While His Turns With Ralph Stanley And The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Add Some New Layers Of Depth To His Traditionalist Approach. Yoakam's Covers Of "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" And "Mercury Blues" Are Sly And Witty But Never Descend Into Self-parody, And He Sure Does Right By Johnny Cash And Webb Pierce As He Tackles Their Songs. The Album's Only Real Flaw Would Be The Two Back-to-back Versions Of John Prine's "Paradise"; Both Performances Are Worthwhile, But Over Ten Minutes Of The Song Gets To Be A Bit Much. Baring That, Dwight's Used Records Is A Thoroughly Enjoyable Collection Of Odds And Ends That Congeals Into Some Solid Listening -- But How Come His Superb Version Of Merle Haggard's "Holding Things Together" From The Tulare Dust Album Didn't Make The Cut?."

	Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. New - Vinyl - 9 25372-1 Sealed 1986 US original but unable to confirm exact pressing. His classic debut release! "Dwight Yoakam's Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. began as an EP issued on the California Oak label. When Reprise signed him, they added four more tracks to the mix to round it out as an album. Yoakam, a Kentuckian, brought country music back into its own medium by reviving the classic Bakersfield sound with the help of his producer and lead guitarist, former Detroiter Pete Anderson. As a result, the "new traditionalist" movement was born, but Yoakam was always a cut or three above the rest, as this album displays in spades. Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. kicks off with a smoking cover of Johnny Horton's "Honky Tonk Man," a song now so closely associated with Yoakam, the original has all but been forgotten. But this is only the beginning. Yoakam's own songs such as "Bury Me," a duet with Maria McKee, and "South of Cincinnati" reference both the pastoral and dark sides of his native state. "South of Cincinnati" is a paean to those who left Kentucky for Ohio in search of jobs, and "Bury Me" celebrates the land itself. In addition, the title track, with Anderson's Don Rich-influenced guitar style, walks the Buck Owens line until the line extends to Yoakam. With fiddles and backing vocals, Yoakam's street poetry is both poignant and profound, built into a barroom anthem. In addition to this there is the gorgeous "Miner's Prayer," an acoustic number powered by dobro (courtesy of David Mansfield), flat-picked guitar, and Yoakam's singing of his grandfather and generations like him who lived and died in the mines of Kentucky. Here Bill Monroe meets Ralph Stanley meets Bob Dylan. In the grain of Yoakam's voice there isn't one hint of irony, only empathy and raw emotion. Yoakam also does a more than acceptable version of June Carter's "Ring of Fire," the "Cherokee" of country music -- meaning that if you can play it and pull it off, you're taken seriously by the veterans. The album closes with the Harlan Howard classic "Heartaches by the Number." Because of Ed Black's steel playing, Brantley Kearns' fiddle, and Anderson's guitar, the accompaniment is stronger and far edgier than the Ray Price version, but from Yoakam's throat comes an entirely different story than Price's. In Price's case the song was a plea; in Yoakam's it's a statement of fact. An astonishing debut, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. changed the face of country music single-handedly and remains one hell of a party record." All Music Guide – Thom Jurek more

	Hillbilly DeLuxe New - Vinyl - 1-25567 Sealed 1987 US BMG Club pressing. "Hillbilly Deluxe is proof that beyond a shadow of a doubt, Dwight Yoakam's Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. was no fluke. There's no sophomore slump here, and while Hillbilly Deluxe may be seen as an extension of his debut, repetition 'taint necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it can be heard and viewed as Yoakam and producer/guitarist Pete Anderson cementing the commitment to Bakersfield-styled honky tonk music. Yoakam's voice is a dead cross of Merle Haggard's early voice and Lefty Frizzell's -- a fine cover of the latter's "Always Late (With Your Kisses)" is included here -- and as such, it is one of the purest, most soulful voices in this era. But as displayed on his debut, Yoakam is one hell of a songwriter as well. Cuts like "Little Ways," the album's first single, "Readin', Rightin', Rt. 23," and the amazing "Throughout All Time," with its dancing fiddles and lapsteel guitars entwined with Anderson's lead, are worthy of serious consideration as among the finest country songs written in the preceding five years. An added bonus is a killer version of Doc Pomus' classic "Little Sister" that rivals Elvis Presley's -- yeah, that's right -- and blows Ry Cooder's tepid cover of it away. The only other cover here is the classic "Smoke Along the Track" by Alan Rose and Don Helms, and in true hardcore troubadour fashion, Yoakam makes it his own, swinging it in the best Johnny Cash and Tennessee Three fashion rhythmically and with Haggard's winsome railroad vocal that he took from Jimmie Rodgers. While there can be no doubt about Yoakam's "hillbilly" roots in Kentucky, this disc is deluxe in virtually every way." All Music Guide – Thom Jurek more

Appears Unplayed. “If There Was A Way From 1990 Is The First Full Display Of Dwight Yoakam's Doppelgänger On Record. From The Mid-Tempo Honky Tonk Of "The Distance Between You And Me" And The Classic Bakersfield Balladry Of "The Heart That You Own" To The Balls-Out Live 21st Century Rockabilly "It Takes A Lot To Rock You Baby," Yoakam Shows His Fragmented Musical Personality That Somehow Remains Inside The Framework Of His Own Brand Of Country. Fans Of The Old Heroes Such As Ernest Tubb, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Buck Owens, Hank Thompson, Loretta Lynn, And So On Dig Yoakam Because He Knows How To Write And Sing A Good Old Country Song. The Kids And Pop Audiences Love Him Because He Seems To Speak To Them As Much With His Swagger As His Electricity -- Guitarist Pete Anderson Is Like Don Rich, Only From The Rock Side Of The Country Music Fence. "Nothing's Changed Here," Written By Yoakam And Master Songwriter Kostas, Is A Nod To Tubb In That It Refers To The Master's "Walkin' The Floor Over You" In "Nothing's Changed Here," A Barroom Stroller With A Gorgeous Fiddle Solo By Don Reed And A Splendid Use Of Reverb By Anderson. "Since I Started Drinkin' Again" Is A Bluegrass Sh*Tkicker, But It Is One Hell Of A Self-Destructive Broken-Heart Song That Features Some Awesome Fiddlework By Scott Joss And Mandolin And Backing Vocals By Tim O'Brien. The Bluesy, Doo-Woppy, Doc Pomus-Inspired Rock Balladry Of The Title Track Is Another Move Toward The Margins For Yoakam -- Especially With The Shimmering B-3 Work By Skip Edwards. "It Only Hurts Me When I Cry," Yoakam's Co-Write With Roger Miller, Who Sings Backing Vocals On The Track, Is Another Rocker À La Early Conway Twitty. Ultimately The Duet With Patty Loveless On Kostas And Kathy Louvin's "Send A Message To My Heart" Is A Wrought And Deeply Moving Love Song. The Bravest Moment On The Record Is Also Its Most Fun. The Closer Is A Truly Hillbilly Deluxe Version Of Wilbert Harrison's Anthem "Let's Work Together." Anderson Tears This Mother Up, Raw And Wooly, And Yoakam Proves Himself As Fine A R&B Singer As He Is A Country Crooner. Here Again The Rock Side Of Country, The Soul Side Of Rock, And The Country Side Of Soul Are All Wrapped Here In Yokam's Voice Backed By A Band Who Have A Complete Understanding Of The Tune. Highly Recommended.” Thom Jurek, AMG. more
