Dwight Yoakam -- Always Late With Your Kisses

Dwight Yoakam -- Always Late With Your Kisses

  • Artist: Dwight Yoakam
  • Title: Always Late With Your Kisses
  • Year: 1988
  • Format: Vinyl 7 in.
  • Rating (1-10): 7
  • Owner: Mary
  • Acquired: 1987 – Probably from Mother’s Records in Hampton, VA.
  • Keeper: Yes

The sleeve on this says 1988, but the labels on the record say 1987. Maybe because the single came out a little later. I like Dwight Yoakam, and I’ve already logged the LP that includes both sides of this 45, “Always Late With Your Kisses” and “1000 Miles.” These are good songs, but not my favorites from “Hillbilly Deluxe.” For the most part I’m an LP guy, and I usually only buy singles that have something I can’t get anywhere else. This one belongs to Mary. I recently read an article that the market has shifted back to singles. I know I’m old and all, but I just can’t get excited by the thought of buying singles to download. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

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.
