When more traditional sounds dominated the country charts, Dwight Yoakam crossed the boundaries of the genre and lured rock and roots fans with his unique new creative vision. While admittedly influenced by American music legends like Merle Haggard, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, Yoakam forged ahead crafting a sound all his own.
Pickin' On Dwight Yoakam offers up a bushel of his alt-country nuggets in a way that you’ve never heard before. Yoakam’s most popular songs are completely reinvented with great success on this all-new collection. These original arrangements capture Yoakam’s platinum selling sounds while bringing it back to the bare-root essence of bluegrass.
