Best Roadhouse Country
Twisting strains of Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Merle Haggard, and Gram Parsons into a stripped-down sound wholly his own, Yoakam is one of music's true mavericks, and his body of work is one of the most innovative in all of country. Rooted in the purest country traditions, and wrapped in raw rock 'n' roll attitude, Yoakam's art rivets fans of both genres and remains as utterly original today as when it started burning up the charts in the '80s.

Find Best Price at Amazon"So sit back and enjoy one of the really great icons of country music that even dazzled Merle Haggard talking with Willie Nelson during an interview, after a "Last of the Breed" performance, when he said "This _ old man sure gave us a lesson in singing.""
"HIs approach therefore is more subtle and direct, surpassing even classic previous interpretations for example in songs like "For The Good Times" which hits a peak."
"Have been listening to Ray Price for many years, never get tired of him."
"I can say the same thing about this CD that I said about the other one of his."
"He wanted very specific songs, which this had, but apparently the whole CD is a little sad and mellow."
"Have waited for a CD like this for a long time."
"Ray Price has always been one of my idols this CD brings back lots of memories."
"Caution: These are NOT the originals--these are REMAKES!!"

Best Neotraditional Country
This collection of 50 chart-toppers, spanning 22 years, showcases the Cadillac of country singers at his best, blending traditional and contemporary stylings, but never straying too far from the core of his Texas barroom sound. This retrospective's one new track, "I Hate Everything," about a man in a bar who's besotted more from pain than whiskey, doesn't match up with the singer's best material, but it's still got that irresistible Strait hook: average-guy sincerity wrapped in a down-to-earth heart.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've listened to Wilco casually over the last 10 or so years, in fact I owned this album on a poorly care for swap meet compact disc. I knew I liked Wilco so when I started to collect vinyl LP's again one of the first two albums I ordered was "A.M.". Without going into review critical territory I'm really not qualified to venture into, I'll say it's different, it's more of everything great that the cd I owned was not."
"I'd feel guilty and ungrateful if I didn't give YHF it's due praise on Amazon."
"There are some great pop songs on Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but that's just the beginning."
"Ironically, the more popular songs from the CD(heavy metal drummer) I don't find as interesting, though they may be more melodious. The best songs on the CD, however, are "Radio Cure" and "Ashes of American Flags" with amazing lyrics, and slow but mesmorizing melodies."
"I bought this as it was on many recommended lists."
"Just an great CD."
"Which is to let you know that coming to this album completely out of the blue, on the basis of great reviews, hype and friends who are fans, I'd have to say this album is pure genius."
