Dwight Yoakam has a good ear for what`s quality country, inspired from the "bakersfield school" of great country star`s like Buck Owens,etc. This CD are Yoakam in more or less topform, except for a few letdowns, this CD shines. Track 1 Pocket of a Clown is a good opener, played in a relaxable speed, this one delivers. Yoakam`s voice has a brightness and certain coolnees , which give him a certain sting all trough. But, hey. The best Track on the CD Track 2 Thousand miles from nowhere, is a minor masterpiece when it come`s to "hitsong writing". From the beginning to the end it has flaire and style, marked all over. The windy guitar and Yoakam`s voice delivers something what we can called "outer space "music. The song kicks you off the ground, and you nearly belive you can fly trough room and space when you listen to it. Track 3 Home for sale is an ok slow country song, which doesn`t have a build up to a climax, but are anyway relaxable to listen to. Track 4 This Time, is classical "walkalong" country from the Bakersfield school of music, and Yoakam`s voice has that "Buck Owens" scwung all over.Track 5 Two doors down has much of the same mood all trough, but doesn`t really kicks in gear. Track 6 Ain`t that lonley yet, has much of the same quality as Track 2. That sometimes "undescribable" airy outer space feel, that fill joy into your`e mind and soul, that also Yoakam sings in the song: you hungry for some more.
Track 7 King of Fools are more or less traditional country, but have some weak spots in between. Track 8 Fast as you can, is somekind of an inconsistency style rocken roller, which has some high or lowpoints all trough. Track 9 Try not
to look so pretty are fine and put`s you in a "quiet is the new loud" mood. Track 10 Wild Ride, is a blues rocker, which sounds like "Rolling Stones" on a bad day. With this the 5 stars are gone.Sorry to say. Track 11. Lonesome Day is a letdown too. But hey there. Hi Ho Silver. This is anyway quality country, man !

For my money, Dwight Yoakam remains quite possibly the finest country artist around. He's certainly one of the most creative, and whilst he's always willing to try new influences and fresh ideas, he never tries to escape from his roots. Unlike many artists (Shania Twain and LeAnn Rimes the most obvious examples), Yoakam is a country artist through and through.THIS TIME, is seen by many as his greatest album, and it's hard to argue when you have bonafide classics such as FAST AS YOU, HOME FOR SALE, AIN'T THAT LONELY YET and especially the haunting masterpiece that is A THOUSAND MILES FROM NOWHERE. Dwight's timeless, haunting voice brings every song to life (even on TWO DOORS DOWN, the least memorable track of the album), and his knack of writing simple yet story-filled lyrics is quite simply awe-inspiring.
Superb production by regular Pete Anderson acts as the icing on the cake, and THIS TIME can comfortably rank as one of the best country albums of the 90's, even if in my humble opinion, his best was yet to come with my favourite Yoakam album, A LONG WAY HOME, which acts as the perfect companion piece to THIS TIME.
Classic, timeless country.

I have to say that most country music makes me ill. But there's just something about Dwight that says "cool". This album came out at a good time in my life, and was actually released the day I turned 21. My first taste of Dwight was during the credits of the movie "Red Rock West" staring Dennis Hopper, Nicolas Cage, and Dwight. "A Thousand miles from nowhere" played as a train rode off into the Rocky mountain distance. I loved it so much that I got the cd and came to enjoy almost all of it. Of 700 cd's, my only country discs are Willie, Johnny, and this one. Im sure anybody would find something to like of Dwights, and if you don't get this, you might like "Last chance for a thousand years", his greatest hits of the 90's. And to top off his great music, he also likes acting, and Elvis. Cool.
