Yeah, I wrote "overproduced?" in the subject line quickly without attempting to label Dwight one way or another. (I call him Dwight because I can never remember whether Yoakam is spelled with an "am" or a "um.") Anyway, I just think it's interesting that a performer such as DY and a producer such

Down here in the wilderness of SE Ohio, I don't hear about these great Columbus shows. Criminently, Alvin AND Chris Gaffney playing the same bill. I'd have walked to Columbus for that. Chris Gaffney has put out three of my favorite records of the past 10 or so years. His tune, "The Garden," is a T

Bill Silvers' advice is right on the money; your best choices for cheap, basic coverage of Wills' best-known stuff is the Essential or Vol.2 of the Tiffany Transcriptions. There are 6 songs that appear on both CDs; the Essential gives you more - another 14 songs - than the Tiffany CD (8), but a)
