Product Description

Description
Dwight Yoakam's third album, 1988's BUENAS NOCHES FROM A LONELY ROOM, finds the Kentucky-born country singer turning inhis most adventurous and eclectic record up to that point. Here Yoakam wanders beyond the boundaries of HILLBILLY DELUXE's straight-up honky-tonk territory, even incorporating a Tex-Mex aesthetic with the presence of accordion master FlacoJimenez. While the opener, "I Got You", sticks closely to Yoakam's twangy signature sound, "Buenas Noches from a LonelyRoom (She Wore Red Dresses)" presents a cinematic narrativethat reveals a more ambitious musical vision and showcases Jimenez's deft playing.
Among the cover tunes on BUENAS NOCHES are a rocked-out reading of Johnny Cash's "Home of theBlues" and a stellar take on the Bucks Owens hit "Streets of Bakersfield", which features a rare appearance by Owens himself. Tied together by Yoakam's effortless charm and unmistakable vocals, the record is an assured outing by an artist fully committed to working outside of his comfort zone, and the results make for a thoroughly rewarding album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing album, 19 May 2003
This is one of my favourite Dwight Yoakam albums, and with songs like 'Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room (she wore red dresses)' and 'I sang Dixie', it is easy to see why. Dwights sexy voice is perfectly suited to the material, whether he's singing the haunting title track or any of the more up-tempo rockers such as 'I Got You'. The duet with Buck Owens is another highlight. All in all a fantastic album which would be at home in the collection of any fan of great country music.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Dwight on the Night, 21 Nov 2003
By A Customer
I own all of Dwights CD's and confirm this album is undoubtably his best ever, from start to finish it is a fantastic credit to traditional country music, all country music fans who do not own this album should buy it immediately. You will not be disappointed.

The orignial material is typical style from Dwight, great toe tapping sing a long songs, the covers which include 'Streets of Bakerfield' (recorded with Buck) and Hank Lockins 'Send me the Pillow that you dream on' will send shivers down anyone's spine.

Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Dwight's early classics, 17 Jan 2004
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is an album of mostly sad songs, but they are all excellent. This was recorded at a time when Dwight was at his commercial peak. His more recent albums are just as good but radio stations are interested in other singers these days so hits are harder to come by.

This album yielded three major country hits – I got you, I sang Dixie and the duet with Buck Owens, Streets of Bakersfield, which Buck originally recorded in the mid-seventies. The title track is outstanding, while the other original songs here (One more name, What I don't know, Floyd county and Hold on to God) are all brilliant, as are the covers of Home of the blues (Johnny Cash) and Send me the pillow (Hank Locklin). I hear you knocking, although a cover of a fifties song, is not the famous one that was an American hit for Gale Storm and an international hit for Dave Edmunds in 1971. This is a different song although there are some similarities.

This is one of many great Dwight Yoakam albums.
