It was always clear that Dwight Yoakam was one of the most important country singers of the '80s, one of the handful of artists who was influential on both the new traditionalist and alt country movements.

Very few tribute albums wind up being wholly successful, but this is one of them. ~ Thom Owens, Rovi
