DWIGHT YOAKAM

Reprise Please Baby: The Warner Bros. Years

The physical version of this title is not currently available for sale on Rhino.com

Dwight Yoakam’s body of work is one of the most daring in all of country music. Gathering 87 tracks released between 1981 and 2002, this four-disc boxed set is the first collection to cover Yoakam’s entire career to date. Filled with signature songs and hits like “I Sang Dixie,” “Please, Please Baby,” and “Ain’t That Lonely Yet,” Reprise Please Baby also contains three brand new recordings and a full disc of previously unreleased material. A deluxe booklet features rare photos and tributes from such Yoakam devotees as Dennis Hopper and Buck Owens.  Rooted in the rawest and most pure of country traditions and infused with rock ’n’ roll attitude, Yoakam’s music remains as utterly original today as when it began burning up the charts in the ’80s. There’s no mistaking his high, lonesome croon and honky-tonk heart. Twisting strains of Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, and Gram Parsons into a rugged sound wholly his own, Dwight Yoakam is a shining example of the modern musical maverick.
