The legendary debut of Dwight Yoakam – a honky tonk classic delivered with inimitable swagger!

Just a slight step down from the monumental Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., but still a near masterpiece of neo-traditional Bakersfield country.

Two nice sides of mellow soul. "Pretty Little Disco Baby" isn't disco at all, and instead has a groove that's similar to the Moments' "Sexy Mama". "One Night Love Affair" is a laid back ballad. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Not nearly as primitive as you might guess from the title – and instead, a heady batch of electric funk from the Japanese scene at the start of the 70s! The album's got a heavy dose of percussion at the bottom – drums and more, interwoven with lots of electric guitar in the rhythms ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
