This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Honky-tonk man Yoakam has apparently never met a cover tune he didn’t like — or turned down an invitation to guest on someone else’s album. This set collects 14 of his tribute tracks, duets and cameo appearances.
HITS: David Lindley’s Mercury Blues; Johnny Cash’s Understand Your Man; ZZ Top’s I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide, Queen’s Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Cheap Trick’s I Want You to Want Me.
MISSES: Nothing to speak of — say what you will about Dwight, he has great taste.
EXTRAS: Two new recordings — a hillbilly version of The Loco Motion and an Appalachian take on John Prine’s Paradise.
