Uh… Why didn’t I keep up with Dwight Yoakam’s music career? “Hillbilly Deluxe” is an excellent album, country music the way it should be. Great lyrics and stories, stripped down and naked production, excellent musicianship, and catchy songs filled with memorable vocal and instrumental hooks. I need to start looking for the back catalog on Dwight.
