Dwight Yoakam - Original Album Series



The first 5 albums in one little cool box.  I recently saw Dwight Yoakam for the first time and I must say the show was great and he is a total professional.  When I was 18/19 years old and working at Off The Record in San Diego, it was strange to see his first album come out and all the punk kids buying it.  I later realized that Dwight was respected because he often played the same underground rock clubs in Los Angeles that all the punk bands played. In addition, Dwight played real authentic music rooted in that Bakersfield sound.  It was the authenticity that the punk rock and underground rock kids liked.

Dwight has appeared in movies and is a star. However, his fame really hasn't affected his music and his passion. I salute you Dwight!
