Dwight Yoakam - Dwight Live (1995)

I have no idea how this CD ended up on my shelf (gift? part of a group of discs I bought from eBay? friend messing with me by slipping it in while I'm not looking?). No matter - let's give it the requisite spin.

...

Despite living in Texas since 1966, twangy country music just isn't my thing (see story from my childhood here if you're interested). I can tell it's well-written and performed, though, and from what I read it was successful for a live album, so good for Dwight.

Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: #56

Peak on Billboard Country Albums chart: #8

Tracks: The album is bookended by some nice takes on a couple of Elvis tunes: Little Sister and Suspicious Minds.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None
