The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam (2004) more music like this

by Dwight Yoakam

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 ...

Reprise Please Baby: The Warner Bros. Years (2002) more music like this

by Dwight Yoakam

Randy Travis sold more records and George Strait was a purer country singer, but Dwight Yoakam was as influential as either on country music in the '80s. A Kentucky-born, Ohio-raised refugee from Nashville, he headed out to California where he managed to play Bakerfield country for L.A. punks, laying the groundwork for the Americana movement of ...

Trouble Bound (2002) more music like this

by The Blasters

While the original lineup of the Blasters made more than their share of great records, their rocket-powered blend of rockabilly, blues, country, and any anything else that sounds good in a roadhouse on a Saturday night was always meant to be experienced in person, live and loud. However, the Blasters' sole live release, the six-song EP Over There: ...

Just Lookin' for a Hit (1989) more music like this

by Dwight Yoakam

Released in 1989 just three years after his debut, Just Lookin' for a Hit may have been a bit premature for a greatest-hits album, but it did the trick and sold better than any album Dwight Yoakam had thus far issued. This set is chock-full of the definitive Dwight -- at the time -- from the opener, a hard rocking version of the Dave Alvin & the ...

Interstate City (1996) more music like this

by Dave Alvin

Recorded at the Continental Club in Austin, TX with his backup band, the Guilty Men, Interstate City documents the nervy energy and gritty sound of Dave Alvin live in concert. Alvin tears through his back catalog with surprising gusto, touching on both the Blasters and his solo hits. Most enticing for fans, however, are the new songs he works into ...

Romeo's Escape (1987) more music like this

by Dave Alvin

After leaving the Blasters (and ending a short stint as the post-Billy Zoom guitarist in X), Dave Alvin kicked off his solo career with this album, in which he indulged in his passions for blues, country, and roots rock in stronger and grittier form than he had in his previous bands. The album's eclecticism, however, proved to be its commercial ...

Testament: The Complete Slash Recordings (1981-1985) (2002) more music like this

by The Blasters

"We got the Louisiana boogie and the Delta blues/We got country swing and rockabilly, too/We got jazz, country western, and Chicago blues/It's the greatest music that you ever knew." Dave Alvin was writing about "American Music" in his song of the same name when he penned those lines, but while he would never be quite so arrogant as to say so ...

Guitar Hot Shots (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

There is some fine guitar playing on this sampler of Hightone Records roots acts, including the Telecaster brilliance of Redd Volkaert on "Breakneck," Dave Alvin blasting (pun intended) through an extended live version of his "Long White Cadillac," the ageless Dick Dale on "Esperanza," and the roots/punk drive of the Domino Kings on "Some Kind of ...

La Croix d'Amour (1999) more music like this

by Dwight Yoakam

This WEA International release is a curious mix of Dwight Yoakam originals and quirky covers, and while it is hardly essential stuff, serious Yoakam fans will definitely want to check it out, particularly for the covers of the Beatles' "Things We Said Today," Them's "Here Comes the Night," Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds," and the Blasters' ...

by The Blasters

The Slash years are compiled here, along with three previously unreleased tracks, forming the perfect overview of the Blasters' short recording career devoted to blues, country, and R&B.

Right on Time (2008) more music like this

by JD & the Straight Shot

JD & the Straight Shot have a reputation for being a blues-rock/roots rock/Americana type of band, but on Right on Time, an additional element asserts itself in a noticeable way: country-rock. Stylistically, Jim Dolan's outfit hasn't given anything up on this 2008 release; blues-rock, roots rock, and Americana are still part of the picture, but ...

An album of originals by Dave Alvin, accompanied by the expanded lineup that included Steve Berlin and Lee Allen on sax, this is prime-time vintage Blasters. Opening with the crowd-pleasing love song "Red Rose," moving through "Barefoot Rock" (no doubt inspired by Jimmy McCracklin's "Georgia Slop," later covered by Los Lobos), on to one of Alvin's ...
