1	Dwight Sings Buck (2007) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist Is there any singer better suited to record an album of Buck Owens covers than Dwight Yoakam? Yoakam first came onto the country scene in the 1980s as the new face and voice of Bakersfield country, a subgenre Owens and Merle Haggard had put on the map. Yoakam not only sang the praises of Owens, he sang with the West Coast legend, and their duet on ... see all copies from $13.61! new only from $13.61!
2	Dwightyoakamacoustic.net (Justguitar@dogbone) (2000) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist At first glance, dwightyoakamacoustic.net might look like a simple re-recorded greatest-hits album that's pleasant but unnecessary. However, the spontaneity and depth of these performances should give any Yoakam fan pause before dismissing it out of hand. Other than the fact that it has no discernible connection to the Internet, the album is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.45!
3	21 #1 Hits: The Ultimate Collection (2006) more music like this by Buck Owens add to wishlist It's not accurate to say that Buck Owens' catalog has been mistreated on CD -- he was one of the first major country artists to be given an excellent, comprehensive multi-disc box set, and he's one of the few country artists to see most of his actual full-length LPs reissued on CD. Despite all this activity, there has been one glaring omission ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $10.06!
4	Christmas Shopping (1968) more music like this by Buck Owens and His Buckaroos add to wishlist Owens' second Christmas album emanates from five session held between February and June of 1968. At this stage of the game, the Buckaroos were a well-oiled studio machine and even the tinkly keyboard stylings of Earle "Poole" Ball doesn't detract from the twang quotient, although this is arguably a more slickly produced album than its predecessor. ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.07!
5	Serving 190 Proof (1979) more music like this by Merle Haggard add to wishlist Haggard appears here in the midst of what he admitted was a mid-life crisis. That's no reason to dismiss this record, however, as crisis introspection served him well. Possibly the best of his MCA albums, it includes "Red Bandana," "My Own Kind of a Hat," and a brooding meditation on the emptiness of stardom called "Footlights." ~ Dan Cooper, All ... see all copies from $2.55! new only from $5.60!
6	The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam (2004) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist Take a look at the title of Rhino's 2004 Dwight Yoakam collection -- this is The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam, not The Greatest Hits , which means that there are several hit singles missing. Actually, there are a grand total of 20 charting singles missing, the exact length of The Very Best Of and certainly more than can be winnowed down to a single ... see all copies from $15.38! new only from $15.38!
7	40 #1 Hits (2004) more music like this by Merle Haggard add to wishlist With a title like 40 #1 Hits, it's easy to assume that the collection will contain nothing but number one hits, whether it's from the Billboard charts or Cash Box, and it's also easy to assume that it would contain all of an artist's number one hits. In the case of Merle Haggard's double-disc 2004 collection, neither is true. Using just the ... see all copies from $13.67! new only from $13.67!
8	Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard (2006) more music like this by Merle Haggard add to wishlist There are perhaps as many as a hundred Merle Haggard compilations out there on labels obscure and well-known. Most of them are crap because they present too few of the great songwriter's works and/or do so in a dodgy manner. Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard, issued by Capitol, isn't one of them. In fact, it just may be the best single-disc ... see all copies from $11.08! new only from $11.08!
9	20 Greatest Hits (2002) more music like this by Merle Haggard add to wishlist For the money, you are not going to find a more definitive Greatest Hits by Merle Haggard. There are 20 cuts on this baby and all of 'em were bona fide hit singles that basically defined the man's well-earned reputation as a great poet of the working class -- not to mention as a country songwriter. Haggard's Epic period may not be here, nor ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
10	Pocket Full of Gold (1991) more music like this by Vince Gill add to wishlist Pocket Full of Gold is one of Vince Gill's straighter country recordings. Produced by Tony Brown, it is steeped in bluegrass, country balladry from the '60s, and smoothed-out honky tonk, all done in Gill's own chameleon-like yet trademark manner. The lineup speaks volumes about what's on the recording: Herb Pedersen, Richard Bennett, Mac McAnally, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.93!
11	This Time (1993) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist Six years after his monumental debut recording, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., Dwight Yoakam is still delivering the goods. After inadvertently (and unwillingly) being credited with creating the new traditionalist movement, Yoakam takes his hard-edged country influences from Buck Owens, Johnny Horton, Ray Price, and Merle Haggard and expands them ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.49!
12	Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room (1988) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist The third effort from Kentucky's Dwight Yoakam shows the first signs of beginning to stretch out and be comfortable with his unique approach to hard honky tonk music, Bakersfield-style. Buenos Noches From a Lonely Room features a number of variations on the themes Yoakam explores in his songs -- mainly heartache. Not since Leon Payne has anyone ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.65!
13	Last Chance for a Thousand Years: Greatest Hits from the 90's (1999) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist During the '90s, Dwight Yoakam settled into a weird role. No longer a representative of the cutting edge, the way he was in the '80s, he was nevertheless far too restless and young to become an elder statesman. Instead, he followed his own path, which resulted in a series of albums that were (arguably) every bit as rewarding as his '80s efforts. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
14	Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. (1986) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist Dwight Yoakam's Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. began as an EP issued on the California Oak label. When Reprise signed him, they added four more tracks to the mix to round it out as an album. Yoakam, a Kentuckian, brought country music back into its own medium by reviving the classic Bakersfield sound with the help of his producer and lead ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.45!
15	Okie from Muskogee (1969) more music like this by Merle Haggard & the Strangers add to wishlist Okie from Muskogee was quickly recorded to cash in on the success of the title song, which became a pop music sensation upon its release in the fall of 1969. Haggard & the Strangers went to Muskogee, OK, where they ran through a number of their hits and working-class anthems. The first side is devoted to classics like "Mama Tried," "Swinging Doors ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.05!
16	Break in the Storm (1998) more music like this by The Great Divide add to wishlist The Great Divide's second album, Break in the Storm, was their breakthrough effort, the record that demonstrated they could blend country traditions with contemporary energy and wit. Led by vocalist/guitarist Mike McClure, the band has a tough, gritty edge that brings out the best in McClure's honky tonk and Bakersfield updates. There are a couple ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.43!
17	Smoke Rings in the Dark (1999) more music like this by Gary Allan add to wishlist Gary Allan grows better and more assured with each album, and his third record, Smoke Rings in the Dark, is his best effort yet. Similar to the Mavericks, Allan stylishly blends a number of roots styles, from his signature Bakersfield country to dusty folk and pop crooning, into a neo-traditionalist sound that is curiously out of time. Allan is ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $11.93!
18	I've Got a Tiger by the Tail (1965) more music like this by Buck Owens and His Buckaroos add to wishlist Buck Owens had his share of country hits prior to the release of I've Got a Tiger by the Tail and the hit single that spawned it. But "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" was Owens' national breakthrough, featuring everything right about his Bakersfield honky tonk sound sweated down to a 2:12 single that proved to be a irresistible piece of crossover ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.52!
19	Super Hits (1993) more music like this by Merle Haggard add to wishlist Super Hits offers an overview of Haggard's early-'80s tenure at Epic, and includes the hits "That's the Way Love Goes," "Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver," and "Going Where the Lonely Go." ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.84!
20	Out of the Burrow (1995) more music like this by Smokin' Armadillos add to wishlist see all copies from $2.49! new only from $3.97!
21	Gone (1995) more music like this by Dwight Yoakam add to wishlist A startling moment in Dwight Yoakam's career, Gone fully integrates the early-'60s grooving rock and R&B of Doc Pomus and Lieber and Stoller with the hard honky tonk of the Bakersfield sound with the regional touches that have become so prevalent on his records (note the opening track here, "Sorry You Asked?," with its mariachi horns in the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.99!
22	His Epic Hits: First Eleven to Be Continued (1984) more music like this by Merle Haggard add to wishlist As the title implies, His Epic Hits: First Eleven covers the first 11 hits Merle Haggard had on Epic Records, including "Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish A Buck Was Still Silver)," "Pancho & Lefty," "Reasons to Quit," "That's the Way Love Goes," "My Favorite Memory," "What Am I Gonna Do (With the Rest of My LIfe)," and "You Take Me for ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
23	The Academy of Country Music's 101 Greatest Country Hits, Vol. 10: Country Roads (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99!
24	Smokin' Armadillos (1996) more music like this by Smokin' Armadillos add to wishlist The Smokin' Armadillos' debut is pumped-up country music with a heavy lean toward power rock influences. This sextet from Bakersfield -- ranging in age from 19-26 -- plays with an unbridled enthusiasm that serves the material well. Nine of the 12 tracks were written by the band, and most of them are driven by the burning championship fiddle ... see all copies from $2.84!
25	Unforgettable Merle Haggard (2004) more music like this by Merle Haggard add to wishlist As the '90s drew to a close, Merle Haggard left major labels behind, putting out a pair of excellent records on the punk label Epitaph before parting ways with them and releasing a politically charged album on an even smaller indie called Compendium, before quietly returning to his longtime home, Capitol, in 2004 with Unforgettable. This album is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.55!
