Dwight Yoakam

For a man who reportedly eats nothing but canned corn on tour, ol' Dwight sure knows how to serve up a healthy compilation. This one's chock-full of songs from tribute comps, as well as previously unreleased tracks and duets with divas like Heather Myles and Deana Carter (who admits that she did shave her legs for this).

This collection of odds-and-ends showcases the Los Angeles country veteran's versatility,
and his personality. He imagines "The Loco Motion" -- yes, that one -- as a lost Elvis number,
mostly for the better. Yoakam's voice is so assured that he's tough to duet with; Deana
Carter doesn't quite succeed on "Waiting," but bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley matches him
holler for holler on the Yoakam original "Miner's Prayer."
