Dwight Yoakam: 3 Pears
Oct 24th, 2012 by dcronin
“[T]his is steeped in the thick twang that’s been at the heart of Yoakam’s music since the start, but he’s attempting more sounds and styles here…This is an album where one song in no way predicts what comes next…Yoakam has surprised by digging deeper into every one of his obsessions, creating a record that captures the careening, adventurous spirit of the ’60s without ever feeling doggedly retro. It’s as fresh as any music he’s ever made, and one of his very best albums.” –All Music Guide
