Free Music Notes for Very Best of Dwight Yoakam
Free Music Review: Honky Tonk yes but...
Hit: 3 Stars
I picked this CD up mainly because I've always liked Dwights very unique and unmistakably twangy voice and style.
I have to admit that I've never heard much of his music and can't say I'm a fan and maybe that's why I didn't really take to this CD as well as I thought I would.
You see, I'm not big on Honky Tonk, and this CD is nothing if not that.
I would have liked this compilation well enough had they included a few more of Dwights ballads but as it is, the CD is awfully heavy on HT and not much else.
I gave this CD 3 stars because of Dwights voice and for the few ballads on here. "I sang Dixie" being perhaps one of the most poignant Country ballads ever written and deserves a 5 star rating in and by itself, and the other few ballads are outstanding as well.
I can definitively see why this CD has gotten so many great reveiws because if you love HT you will love this CD, it's just not my style.
