Dwight Yoakam – Blame The Vain (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Dwight Yoakam came up in the mid-80s as part of a Bakersfield-influenced wave that pushed back hard against the polished Nashville sound, and that spirit of independence never left him. Taking full creative control here for the first time in decades, he proves the instincts that made albums like *Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.* essential are still fully intact, filtering classic honky-tonk grit through a producer's ear he'd been quietly developing all along.
Dwight Yoakam occupies a singular position in contemporary country. No artist has better balanced mainstream commercial success with artistic, alt-country credibility, while somehow managing to embody both the music’s most traditional and its most progressive impulses. Blame the Vain marks a milestone for Yoakam as his first self-produced effort since splitting with producer/guitarist/bandleader Pete Anderson. Released in 2005 to critical acclaim, Blame the Vain has sold nearly 200,000 records to date. In honor of the 15th anniversary of this album, New West Records is proud to present Blame the Vain on vinyl for the first time.
