After I first heard This Time I knew I had to give this Best Of CD a listen. 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." 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.

Incredible mix of his vocal and lyrics. I love A Thousand Miles from Nowhere. No album of his would be complete without it. I Sang Dixie melts my heart. A truly wonderful album.

I started paying attention to Dwight Yoakam not long ago. I think he is great and what country should be.

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.

Not that much into C&W despite living in Texas for over 30 years. To me, most of these acts all sound (and look) the same. Dwight Yoakam really is different. Good songwriter, unique style and takes his que from performers like Buck Owens who paved the way for him. Lots of good cuts on here: "a Thousand Miles from Nowhere", a great cover of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds" Well worth the money.
