Dwight Yoakam - Just Lookin' for a Hit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This dvd provides an introduction to one of Country Music's neo-traditionalists. Dwight pays homage to some of his major musical influences. There are short interviews of Dwight which attempt to provide a sense of intimacy and which link together the musical performances. While listening to Dwight's words and viewing some of his early childhood photos, one can perceive his sincerity and the devotion he has for his music and for his favorite artists. Dwight's voice is strong and energetic and the music is sensational. Dwight is one of those artists who can make an old song sound new and yet, make it distinctively his own. Such is the case in "Honky Tonk Man" and "Little Sister." He's having a fun time in "Always Late With Your Kisses" and in the "Streets Of Bakersfield" (a duet with Buck Owens). His hard-driving sound is fully demonstrated in "Guitars, Cadillacs" and in "Long White Cadillac" (remembering the fatal last ride of Hank Williams). All of these songs are hits and my only regret is that there are only six songs and the total time of this dvd is only about 30 minutes. I need more Dwight! Overall, this dvd is great because of Dwight's talent, sincerity, joyous humor and intensity. If you have not seen Dwight in a live performance, this dvd is the next best thing. You'll play it again and again.
