Dwight Yoakam -
Hillbilly Deluxe
Alright, let's see what we have here.
"Little Ways" - Okay, I'm sorry, but this is laughable. His accent is ****ing hilarious. I mean, it's groovy, but I genuinely just can't stop laughing at his vocals. I can tell his voice is gonna grate on me after a while. But, it ain't terrible. I wouldn't consider it torture if this is what it is. This is gonna be an easy one I can tell.
"Smoke Along the Track" - This is a chill song. Nice train sounds. Not much to say really. I have a feeling it's going to be a bland album for me.
"Johnson's Love" - You know what, this ain't that bad. Maybe it's because I'm in a laid-back mood. But I can't say I hate it. I like the vibe. His voice ain't grating on me as much as I thought it would.
"Please, Please Baby" - Like the boogie vibe. Cheesy as **** but whatever. I ain't going to sugarcoat it. I can dig this. Nice little fiddle solo. Why the **** am I enjoying this?
"Readin', Rightin', Rt. 23" - Yeah, this ones cool. Nothing much to say. Catchy. Gives off that nostalgic olden day vibes. **** if I know what I'm talking about.
"Always Late with Your Kisses" -
Yeah...more sexy cheesy goodness.
"1,000 Miles" - This is far from torture TH. I can handle this, no sweat. Only 34 minutes. It's not even long enough to be derivative. I feel cheated.
"Throughout All Time" - Just sounds like the rest. Don't know what to say. I mean, I enjoy the fun vibe, but there is nothing in the case of diversity. More fiddle.
"Little Sister" - An Elvis Presley cover. It's alright. Best song on the album, I'd say.
"This Drinkin' Will Kill Me" - Is this Country? It's extremely hard to tell.
TL: 1% - 20% You're going to have to do better than that TH.
