Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Shite country

Laughable

This album was born under a lonesome star...

way too hick for me

Jamais écouté avant. Il y a quelques jours, je reconnaissais à Steve Earle la capacité à s'affranchir des clichés les plus ridicules de la country. Dwight Yoakam, lui, n'en a rien à foutre et plonge dedans la tête la première, sous prétexte de retourner aux racines du genre. Ça ne serait pas si grave sans les textes vomitifs de l'album. Marier ainsi clin d'œil antisémite, références au bon vieux temps des États confédérés, misogynie meurtrière étendue sur cinq morceaux (!) et, en guise de point final, clamer sa sainteté et son amour pour Dieu, c'est parfaitement dégueulasse, en plus d'être d'une hypocrisie inouïe. Une énorme bouse de cowboy fascisant pour redneck MAGA. Top : - Flop : Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)

The only thing I hate more that Yoakam's caterwauling ... is that he just dropped my overall average for the 80s! Thanks Dwight!!

I think the order of the albums is randomly generated, but back to back country… that’s not fair. Again, fans will know Dwight & he’ll deliver, sticking nicely to the formula they want. Whining guitar, harmonies, violin bridge, local lyrics. I just can’t do it.

Nö! Schon wieder nix!

Honestly, there isn't a star rating low enough for this pile of shit.

country. invokes Dixie. two songs about violence towards women

Following my relative reappraisal of Country from this list this definitely felt like something of a test..one I failed with flying colours.

And there I was bemoaning yesterday’s Gram Parsons’ country crap pile entré, only for this to be served as a main course. Being kind I could say the track that borrowed from American Trilogy was OK. The rest could have been filler from an extended version of the Parsons release. This is why I profoundly dislike country. It does absolutely nothing for me, and that’s coming from someone who loves a well placed slide guitar in a song. A painful, repetitive experience. A strong one, a weak two, but I got out of bed the wrong side this morning.

This is just painful.

Maybe the worst album yet, just truly vile stuff.

Bloody country music....

This album was so bad it provoked my fight or flight response. Dwight Yoakam, I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

A big, fat whopping no. This is the epitome of awful country music.

I mean, if you keep threatening to shoot your lovers if they leave you.... maybe it's not them that's the problem? This is not redeemed by the music in any way. It's just basic and plodding.

This sounds like country music cosplay. Nothing wrong with it as such, it just sounds like a tribute to decades of preceding music that sounds the same. At this point I don't know if that's the dudes voice or an affectation. A moments the music is good, but that voice, the god awful title track and the fact 4 tracks in I feel like it's been on for 10 hours have sealed it's fate...

Actually don't mind country but those guitars were Aids

This was soooo boring!

honky tonky not for me

He's bouncing on my boots cheeks i love the way he ride

I Got You - 2/5 One More Name - 1/5 What I Don't Know - 1/5 Home of the Blues - 3/5 Buenas noches From a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses) - 1/5 I Hear You Knockin' - 2/5 I Sang Dixie - 1/5 Streets of Bakersfield - 2/5 Floyd County - 2/5 Send Me the Pillow - 2/5 Hold On to God - 1/5 Average score: 1.6/5 ⭐️ i wasn't very impressed for the most part unfortunately. this had just about everything i hate about most country music. and the advocacy for murdering adulterous people? weird there wasn't enough that i liked about this album to spare it from receiving a 1-star rating. oh well

I found the song about shooting your wife so deeply disturbing that although I would have given this album a 2 for being boring, that song just ruined it for me. I dont want to hear about a man singing along to his guitar in a campfire esque way talkign about how he held a gun up to her head thank you

Dwight, have you considered if so many women keep cheating on/leaving you, the common denominator is you? As a country (and western) music enjoyer, but not superfan, I need someone to let me know, would it be fair to say Yoakam is responsible for the turn of country to modern "Stadium/Bubblegum" country? It sure seems like it. This record is indistinguishable from the garbage schlock put out by the majority of contemporary C&W artists. Bigoted, boring slop 1/5

Naw

Country is not my thing. Buenas melodías, tho.

Is country music intended as serious or satire? Has the current President taken his charade too far? (Is it now time for him to break character and say is was all a joke inspired by a Peter Sellers film? The debrief would be a relief for some, embarrassing for others ...) So is this album the real deal? How does one tell? Being named Dwight must signal being hard core for the genre. Which I am not. To me, this is a weapon. Especially if Mars Attacks! (reference to the 1996 film). I will leave it to the experts to say whether adding an accordion is an unnecessary and frivolous adornment to such a serious musical style. Wherever the song about Bakerfield gets a lot of play, I wont be.

dwight, stop killing your wives

Unbearable C&W.

After todays modern pop country, this is the worst kind of country.

Mid 1 I feel a violent lack of interest in this

That's some sappy country but expected from an old cowboy named Yoakam. Not my go to ever but I'll take it over Morrissey at this point. The attempts at mixing Spanish culture on the album don't go unnoticed and the use of accordion is welcome. Some alright violin and guitar but lame themes like lost loves, death of southern culture, and God are cliche. 1.49 stars...goodnight Dwight.

Would prefer to be in a lovely room.

Klassisk country. Det er mit liv for kort til.

This made the list before 1993’s This Time? This album contains no new ideas and contains every musical cliche that makes country music such a caricature of itself - the same chord structure, same bass line, same fiddles. I was predicting the chord changes and melodies before Yoakam even sang them.

This cemented this genre firmly in the my bottom 3 genres, alongside Jazz and Rap.

The least 1988-sounding album of all time

Utter trash

so glad that’s over xoxo

Dwight Yoakam – Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room (1988) On Day 87, I can sum up this experience in one word: Boring. While the album attempts to blend various regional influences, it completely lacks an immersive soul or any real energy. Despite some technical effort in the production and the musicianship, the project felt like a total flatline that was a struggle to stay engaged with from start to finish. It offered nothing memorable and felt entirely uninspired, earning a definitive 1/5.

I am entirely not a fan of post 9/11 country and this album was way back in 1988. But this album plays like modern country with pandering lyrics and some fairly uninteresting musicality. Won’t catch me singing Dixie. Not for me.

More 80s country. Please no. First song is actually not too bad, very average but not offensive. The vocal thing they do in country where they kind of yodel the words is very contrived and annoying but lets see if I get used to it. Five songs in and absolutely nothing has grabbed me, it's been very forgetful country-by-numbers. How do people listen to this genre for pleasure? It's so insipid. I'm getting nothing from this. It's so boring. Is that his voice or is he being a character? Final thoughts: very well performed and engineered. I gained nothing from this save from mild irritation and bemusement that this asinine genre is so popular. The album ended and I only realised the album was over and had been playing due to the sudden silence, it was like realising that someone in the adjoining room had finally finished vacuuming the carpet. I had completely zoned out and mentally blocked the album about halfway through.

Hard no on this one.

"But if I know that you've been cheatin' / What I don't know might get you killed" Thought that's what I heard, looked up the lyrics, yup, I heard right. Hard pass.

Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room (1988) is the third studio album by Country music artist Dwight Yoakam. I have to admit I’d never even heard of Dwight Yoakam before listening to this album and I it turns out that I wasn’t missing much. Apparently he was (perhaps still is) an edgy outsider in the Country scene but before writing this review I Googled is Dwight Yoakam a Trump supporter as that was definitely the vibes I was getting. According to the AI summary he’s a libertarian who keeps his political views to himself. All I know is when Johnny Cash sings about shooting a man in reno I enjoy the vivid storytelling, but when Dwight sings about getting his revenge on his cheating ex it just sounds threatening. Couple that with songs about Dixie and God and I’m out. I listened to this a couple of times yesterday but can’t even remember which songs were which. I know ‘Home of the Blues’ is a Johnny Cash number so I assume it was better than the rest but I haven’t bothered individually rating them. I’ll never listen to this again (I hope). Track Listing: 1. I Got You 2. One More Name 3. What I Don’t Know 4. Home of the Blues 5. Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses) 6. I Hear You Knockin’ 7. I Sang Dixie 8. Streets of Bakersfield 9. Floyd County 10. Send Me the Pillow 11. Hold on to God

I don't hate this because it's country. I hate it because of the awful misogynist lyrics. Go to therapy, dude.

Really not my thing. Not a fan of country. Struggled to listen to all of this one.

Straight hate. The dinky percussion, the plinky guitars, the yodel-y singing, the stupid ass lyrics,the chugging nature of this. I really am just allergic. When the slide guitar hits with ambition I want to rip my ears off. It is no better when he goes more country rock or whatever the fuck italian restaurant remix vibes come in around halfway through. STOP. At least this album is short

Fuck this shit

Mr Yoakam needs to see a therapist and stop writing such angry country music. I love me some country music but this got to be a hard listen after so many songs about a woman leaving him and him seemingly getting more and more deranged about it. Not an album I would listen to again and I hope his subject matter has evolved as time has passed.

The simple drumming distracted me from everything else. It felt like music from a children's program with threats of gun violence. No and no.

This is why people (including myself) don’t like country music.

Gary music. No thanks.

Don't like this polished country, give it to us raw and wriggling

Country, not my genre

What in the honky tonk hell is this

Dwight Yoakam - “Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room” - It’s tough to listen with an open mind to an album whose LITERAL FIRST LINE is a very faintly coded bit of anti-Semitism, but I tried. Some of this is clever, all of it is very polished, and much more than just that first line grossed me out a little. Looking past the “problematic” (a 2020s term that WOULD feel unfair to apply to a 1988 album if it weren’t so very apt), this sounds like the mainstream Nashville country of the 80s and 90s that is entirely listenable, occasionally catchy, but still somehow thoroughly boring. If you turned this on and told me it was Brooks & Dunn, Alan Jackson, or George Strait, I wouldn’t know any better. Musically, it’s probably good for what it is, but what it is doesn’t interest me so I’m not the guy to ask. A 2-star album that loses a point for being a little gross.

I bet this made a lot of people wanna say buenas noches to this album and pass out in a lonely room from boredom.

i'm seriously going to kms

leek me een country plaat van dertien in een dozijn te worden... helaas had ik gelijk

They distilled the exact kind of country I would hate and served it up in this album. No thanks.

A hard listen for me. Just not a fan of this type of music. Lacks energy for me.

So weird hearing a gated snare on a country record, it just jars and it's all I can think about listening to 'What I Don't Know'. It gives it this propelling big stage sound that it just doesn't need, like the rhythm section has been ripped from a different album. Not my thing, felt like it would never end.

Coldplay left me well, cold

dudes will kill their ex rather than go to therapy I had an Eminem album earlier this week and I thought he had problematic views on women but jfc Dwight you got him lapped also this is just a completely indescript country album, get outta here

Mindnumbing

i dont like...

This motherfucker really wants to shoot the lady that betrayed him.

Nope

Kuntry

FFS.

Somehow I find him more charismatic as the villain in Sling Blade.

159/1089 i’m already biased against this kind of country and here he goes threatening to kill his SO oof 8/100

This was never going to be for me. I feel less intelligent for listening to it

Dog water

Here's the thing, I remember seeing a performance by DY and thinking this was one of the last bastions of actual Country music. I didn't actively dislike this album until the misogyny and bible thumping. It's a shame because I think he is trying to hew to what Country should be and resisting New Country as much as possible, but lyrically, yuck.

Intussen is het één van mijn favoriete genres, maar muziek als dit weerhield mij er jaren van om country te ontdekken. Ik dacht dat alles zo stereotypisch en corny zou klinken als dit.

Damn, wat is dit corny zeg. Afgehaakt bij Chevrolet-ey-ey in de tweede zin van het album. Nog paar nummertjes doorgelusiterd maar Dwight Yoakam (wat een naam ook) kan dat niet meer rechtbreien. Wat doet dit hier? 2/10

Divorced Dad-Core: Country Edition There's definitely a sexist double standard when I sit here and praise/sing along with country songs by women who talk about killing their exes, but then recoil at Dwight here doing the same, but the recognition of that double standard does not make it better for me. Bro, she cheated on you. Just cut her loose and move on. You don't need to kill her execution style, you fucking psycho. But yeah, on top of the awful, misogynistic lyrics, you got bog-standard, stereotypical country music with the twangiest of the twanged out vocals. I've heard the music from this album a billion times before. About the only redeeming thing on this is the slight Mexican influences in the instrumentation, but thats not enough to save it from getting the 1 for me.

I hate this shit, man. Like, I'm sure he's a talented artist, and this seems competently made. And maybe he's a great guy, I don't know. And this definitely could've been worse! But, man, I fucking hate modern popular country music.

This is a seriously overrepresented genre

nej

Overhovedet ikke mit shit! Der var engang hvor jeg troede at jeg ikke kunne lide country, og det var fordi jeg troede det alt sammen lød sådan her

White ass music

I don’t love twangy old country. I don’t like this guys voice. Combined with the not great songwriting and the multiple songs about killing his ex, I am very happy to be done with this and not revisit

This is just awful

Day 87 Wasn’t feeling this one at all, is that his real voice? Almost sounded like weird Al doing a parody of country but that would have at least been funny. 2/10 Highlight I sang Dixie

Typical whiney country crap with no redeeming features.

Countrya..

classic country as performed by a cheap karaoke machine with I'm-so-sad-and-misunderstood-I-had-to-murder-my-wife to rival Eminem thrown in music: hated. (⌐■_■)

This kinda stinks, right? Shiny late 80s production makes it hard to buy as Country Music, and man oh man is it ever important to properly come off as Country Music if you’re gonna sing songs about shooting your wife and whatnot. Like it has to be grounded in Country Music kayfabe. This is not.

If only I could give 0.

pass

This shit sucked balls

Nope...packaging domestic violence and a love for good ole Dixie in a pretty country package doesn't make it okay. It wasn't a one off...he threatens violence multiple times and then actually murders her. I don't care if this is a performance piece or a parody but the level of domestic violence he sings about with such a beautiful melody is just more psychotic. No thank you can't get past that

I like country in general, but I could taste the hay and cow patties, and that ain’t a compliment.

Not my vibe

Country automatic no stars.

Nope.

Yeehaw let's wave that confederate flag, shoot dead some unfaithful women, and thank the good lord for leading us down the path of true salvation.

I feel like we’ve been getting fed a lot of country lately, which I appreciate because my feelings on the genre are starting to crystallize. I like how a lot of pop country really hits the “setup-punchline” structure between the verses and choruses. the title always clicks on the first or last line of the chorus and it’s usually funny or at least clever. I dislike the hyper produced country like this where the bass sounds synthesized and compressed to hell. You can also totally hear the auxiliary players like mandolin and fiddle waiting to play in between each verse line. This specific record was whatever until he got to talking about Dixie. Fuck that so hard.

The worst aspects of country all concentrated and distilled into one great big barf fest. Murder ballad about shooting his ex as she slept for the offense of leaving him as the title track was the peak puke fest. But "I Sang Dixie," a cover celebrating all that's wrong with confederate pride, was part of the slow decent from that prior pinnacle. The best thing about this album was that it was mercifully only 37 minutes, although it felt much longer. Hokey music, crappy lyrics that drifted from borderline offensive to outright offensive, but generally good recording, except for a few tracks where they put a single acoustic guitar on both sides of the stage which made no sense. He ends with "Hold On To God" after writing a song where he murders an ex for dumping him?!? Without irony? Dear me, if there is a god, I sure hope it's not his.

Absolutely horrendous. The affectation in the singing to add the western drawl, singing about heartbreak in a major key, surprise fiddle in pretty much every song. The whole thing grated on me and I couldn’t wait for it to finish. Not sure if this is a milestone album in country and western but please, no more of it.

This was pretty horrible. Disliked the vocals and lyrics. The music itself might be okay but isn't to my taste - the wrong side of country. Not for the first time, I found myself saying 'finally a decent song' then checking Spotify to see it has moved on to autoplay a different artist. Says it all. 1/10

Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room by Dwight Yoakam is very much 80s country—and for me, that made it a tough listen. At least it only runs 37 minutes. I didn’t enjoy this album at all. The music felt dated, and the lyrics didn’t connect with me in any meaningful way. This was easily a 1/5 listen. Favourite track: None stood out. Least favourite track: Honestly, every track. Album artwork: Nothing special.

Nope, no thank you.

There's a reason the room is lonely.

Oh no country music ahhhhhhh

Lol. Fuck off.

Please, no more country, I'm begging you! I know, I understand, I respect the big names on this genre: Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson... I mean, I can and will listen to those, they're amazing, almighty talented people! This was just unbearable to me; call it cultural differences, whatever, I couldn't go over the entire album, skipped past the 3rd or 4th track! Who knows, can't remember a thing but the whining, a solid 0 from me (oh, wait, can't give 0!!!)

Wil dit niet luisteren

Boring generic country sound, combined with awful lyrics. Not for me.

If I were a cowboy in the 1800s maybe this would fly. But its just preachy nonsense.

Didn't like this one.

Basic and I don’t appreciate him benefiting from Mexican music style

it was not easy to come to this conclusion

tío que pesados con el country dios mio que alguien me dé algo de new wave o rock no se.. 😭 como te pusiste esos jeaness?? menuda placentada dios mio 1/5

awkwardly this album made me feel a bit rageful sorry some parts were smiles and pleasant but overall it made me mad

56/1001. The story so far: we need more hip-hop and less country.

Ok but nothing special

Not for me

Yee-Haw….more like Yee-Naw 😒 Bailed half way through the second song. Country & Western just isn’t for me.

A country album! I'm not usually a country fan, but I don't dislike country either. Pretty whiny 80s country here I think. Not my favorite. Not loving it. The title track is kind of nice though. Not something I'd choose to listen to though I think. It's very stereotypical country. Maybe there's some "Seinfeld isn't funny" going on here but it's really not that interesting to me.

I’ve heard good Dwight Yoakam. This isn’t it.

Shite Hokum.

Lots to loathe with this one even if you like/tolerate this style of country unlike myself. There's the multi-song narrative arc of killing his lover because she cheated on him, the ode to "rebel pride" in I Sang Dixie, and the closing song about how he found religion. Hated so much about this even though the instrumentals weren't necessarily bad. 1 star.

Immediately hating this type of country sound but we still have 36+ minutes left. Worse cover of Home of the Blues. Cash's version is superior to this. God 80's country is the worst combo. And then add in some bible shit and it's pretty rough on the ears. This was probably a 2 until that Christian country song to end it. Terrible.

Crap music performed at an average level Crap

Country schmountry

Yikes

Country.

trash

Oh my god I could not listen to this dross! I tried believe me but it was hell for me! This is not music but torture, if I could give 0 stars I would!

Ça me donne le goût de me faire bâtir un garage, ramasser une vieille scrap pas chère pis la retaper dans mes temps libres en faisant jouer ça sur un p'tit radio de marde pis finalement me rendre compte que j'ai aucune estie de connaissance en mécanique, mettre le feu dans le char pis mourir dans le garage en espérant que le feu se répande dans toute la ville, puis de villes en villes jusqu'à couvrir la terre entière pour que jamais pus personne ait à entendre ça. D'la bonne musique pour le restaurant du Zellers. Oh guess what, ça existe pus, c'est mort. Tout comme aucune crisse de raison d'avoir à écouter ça avant de mourir. J'suis assez en tabarnak-là.

Find it hard to tell these country albums apart ngl

Over the last couple of years I've come to love a lot of country music. This album encapsulates why I thought I hated it in the first place.

Ass

I was enjoying this one until I started listening to the lyrics 🤦‍♀️

Wow! Everything I hate about Country music, all rolled up into one album! I've listened to around 300 albums on this list, and I think this is only the second time (including a few Country albums) that I stopped listening part way through. I try to be as objective as I can when listening to new/different stuff....but I just hated this.

Shit bsginnung, shit middle and extra shitty end. Must be a bad album, and a waste of the longest 30 minus ever. 0/5

Everything about this undersells how paint-by-numbers while vile it turns out to be. There is no recover from a ‘romantic’ song about murdering your partner.

Banjo MF

I feel like a could go into a music shop, pick a country album completely at random and get one of comparable quality. Poor production and almost sounds like parody 1.5*

Okay, nach 10 Sekunde is erste Lied galopiert hani scho denkt, dass de Dwight grad all Stereotype vom ganz klassische "Lonely rider bonfire linedance cowboy" abdeckt. Satire und übertriebni country verarschige würdet ned ah das level vo redneckiness und lederhosigkeit herecho wie de Herr Coboi. Und Obwohls s cover ja eigentlich scho ganz guet hett chöne priisgeh, hani weg em 88er Jahrgang, em Exotische Yoakam-Nachname und em chline hint as internationale mit em Buenas Noches öppis spannends erwartet. Oder hald öppis anders. Sicher ufjedefalls öppis bessers. Aber das isch au ned schwirig. Danke 1001albumsgenerator, dass du mir mini tüüfi, tüüfi abneigig gege cowboy-yehaa-country immer wider vom neue chasch ufzeige. Aber mit dem Album topts alles. Mit 30 sekunde into s erste lied und nomal en 5 sekündige versuech bimene andere bini ja eigentlich gar ned berechtigt das Album z bewerte, aber da git mer jedi Sekunde meh so e Abgrundtüüf schlechti luhne, dass ich mir das Album us selbstschutz ned han welle ahtueh. Und trotzdem chani mit voller überzüügig dehinder stah wenni dem lonely boy ih sim lonely room eis huufise fadegrad an chopf rüer.

Not for me

Someone please tell me this is a parody on country albums, not an actual country album? This would have been passable in the early '60s I suppose. Now, if you like all the clichés (sorry, style elements) of honky-tonk country including the themes, yodeling etc. and you don't mind if it feels like you've heard it all 1000 times before, then this may well be a 4 or a 5.

A must hear album? Sure, if you're a Promise Keeper.

I think as soon as I heard the twang in his voice I lost all empathy for whatever this man was going to sing about. I’m sure he is sad about something. I just don’t care to digest it.

2/10 I don't, I can't. I tried, made it to streets of Bakersfield. The fact that I made it that far got a two out of 10. 2-25-2025

Couldn’t get hooked

I’ve heard all the county I ever need to hear in my life

Good ol' Country music, complete with pedal steel guitar and fiddle. Can't stand this type of twanging Country music.

No me gusta el folk

Nope, can't do it. This is about as country as you can get, and it setting off every one of my bells. Nothing enjoyable for me here at all.

This is surely a joke, right?

Awful. All show and no go. Why do all country singers feel like they need to sing with that horrible twang.

Not for me

Affected insincere crap.

Ugh. THIS is what I get on Jan 1 2025? This isnt a good sign of things to come for this new year. This is a bad album with only one halfway good track and terrible lyrics throughout. 1/5

Country sucks.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAH!!!

You can put me in the country, but you can't put the country in me

I refer to my previous review of Merle Haggard’s I’m a Lonesome Fugitive, this all is the fault of the Pilgrim Fathers and puritan values. But I see a trend developing here - Lonely and lonesome!! I wonder why? 1/5 14/12/24

I’m not a fan of Country, I find it backwards and depressing

Is there a half star option?

This music reminds me of a deep countryside fair, with people in very weird clothes, plenty of raunchy games and a multitude of bad food. It's just not a music I will ever like, even if I try (and I tried).

There's like close to 50 Country albums on this list, and it's amazing how, with extremely rare standouts (like 4 albums), every single one sounds exactly the same and is the exact same level of complete unmemorability and tedium. It's like I've listened to the same album arranged in slightly different ways 50 times now. If you sent this book to aliens, they'd think that Nashville, Tennessee was a revered holy site.

Nope

If there’s one thing this album does, it’s remind you just how much you’ve heard all these country clichés before. And I mean really remind you. This 1988 album is a deep dive into a world of broken hearts, cheating lovers, and long nights spent alone in dive bars—and while that might sound familiar, Yoakam's ability to resurrect every classic country trope is truly something else. Whether or not it’s a good thing, though, is another story. It’s almost as if the music section took a country music manual and said, “Let’s make sure we hit every single page.” The result is something so comfortably familiar that it borders on predictable, but not in the "this is a classic" kind of way—in more of a "yep, I've heard this before" kind of way. Every song shuffles along, like you’re caught in a loop of honky-tonk bars you can’t escape. Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room doesn’t reinvent country music; it simply embraces everything country music has been for decades. And if you’ve spent any amount of time in this genre, you’ll find that the clichés here aren’t exactly groundbreaking—they’re more like that dusty old jukebox that just keeps playing the same songs.

Turns out when he doesn’t have her, he really does go insane.

No no no just no. This exactly the reason I've never like country

yikes

Musiquinha boa, mas queria na voz de Sandy e Junior.

sem comentários..... country mal do mundo

I really cannot stand this type of whiney country music. And could do bear the thought of listening to the whole album. I guess it must be considered good for this type of album, but it's a nope from me. Give me Johnny Cash over this type of country every time. 1/5

This is some moderately good country instrumentals ruined by having lyrics and a country singer. The title track is the most tolerable.

What your grandma listens to. Also, a surprising number of the songs are about killing his wife. Best song: What I Don't Know Worst song: One More Name

Felt like a wild west fever dream, nothing like some upbeat country while singing about killing his wife and her bf. Best song: Streets of Bakersfield Worst song: Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)

These country albums really just are not for me.

I hate country twang. Cry in someone else’s ear.

We got both kinds - country AND western!

Utter shite

"in the land of cotton / old times there / ain't near as rotten / as they are / on this damned old LA street" -- Woof. That song really pissed me off.. Had to check my judgement.. Take some deep breaths and not just stop the album and write a review just saying FUCK DIXIE, FUCK REBEL PRIDE. Ugh. Does walking the streets of Bakersfield make you an asshole? Anyway, in other news, the drywall contractor working on my office just walked by and said "Oh you're listenin to the good stuff today!"

No

*yawns* *stretches* Plinky plunky fiddley wibbly tales of woe.

Just awful, Dixie bullshit

det här är inte bra

Vilken jävla sliskig sörja.

Another total waste of time!

country..... enough said

Not a fan of country music. This is no exception.

Turns into weird Christian country. Didn't like that.

While I do appreciate the talented musicians, this is not my jam. When I tell people that I don’t like country music this is the type of twangy voice that comes to mind. This album in particular covers many of the stereotypes of country music - drinking, being left by his woman, someone getting shot…..it’s too much. Pass.

HAHAHHAHA THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT. This actually sounds like what an AI would make if you asked it to make a boring country album. The moment it started I knew I was in trouble.

Sad songs for sad cowboys

Look it’s not that bad but like nothing here stands out, the vibes are super fucking right wing lame, and his voice ain’t that great. The accordion is cool and there’s a couple nice songs. 3/10 I really can’t decide on 1 or 3 stars but the bad taste of “I sang Dixie” and knowing the people I know who’d like it is helping me make my choice

I'll save you the trouble, Dwight got dumped, and he wasted that no-good lyin' cheatin' whore. This seemed to perk him up. Some reviewers mention they like the Mexican influence in this album, I say, if you want Tejano, go listen to proper Tejano. 🤠

Shut up man. This is the worst kind of Country and Western IMHO. Extremely plodding, every song has an undercurrent of toxic masculinity, and the actual musicality is limited AF. There are one or two nicer moments, but for a 36 minute album, it doesn't half drag.

E ainda tem mais discos de country. Conheci e só.

Vocals are pretty ropey, lyrics are worse. I'm not a massive country fan at the best of times, but this isn't even good country. And then he goes painfully cringey religious on the last track. 1/5.

I couldn't find anything to recommend this. The covers are bad, the originals are worse. A kind of Country Karaoke. All the tropes without any of the wit or wisdom. Awful.

Too twee, too twang. Ta ta.

Nope.

This stinks. Is he a monster?

gross

Greatly disliked this misogynistic claptrap

I can’t even I couldn’t stand more than 10min

A song about shooting his lover in the head because she found somebody else… How lovely. Next time shoot yourself, Mr. Yoakam, so we don’t have sit through more of your terrible music.

Good have mercy on me, I just don’t get any of it.

Some silver spoon country, no soul or heart in it. Lyrics were pretty bad

Not for me. 1/5

From the first note Dwight sang and I heard that classic country twang, I knew I was going to hate this album. It sounded like pretty standard country music from my limited understanding of the genre, and as such getting through the album was a struggle for me.

Gear: Dunu SA6 Mix: ja okay von mir aus Musik: bidde nich Wertung: 🎻/5

Cool western tunes to listen to in a bar. Or a saloon

what's blud yapping about

This album was perfectly crafted for a bunch of fat white dudes eating queso in a Tex-Mex restaurant in LA (Lower Alabama). It somehow balances cultural misappropriation and misogyny in a perfect blend accented with just a hint of Grizzly chew. On the track "What I don't Know": "What I don't know might get you killed / Death row in prison don't look half as bad" to the girl he thinks is cheating. Or on "Buenas Noches": "In the dark morning silence / I placed the gun to her head" for the girl who decided to date someone else. WTAF? Why not go full racist on "I Sang Dixie": "Said way down yonder / In the land of cotton / Old times there / Ain't near as rotten / As they are / On this damned L.A. street"? The land of cotton. Are you fucking serious right now? Oh crap, I forgot the veiled anti-semitism in the opening line of another: "I had to buy back damn near everything I own / From a little man whose name is Saul / And has a lot of money to loan". Oh, I see what you did there. Lovely anti-union sentiments just as a footnote. Even for the cheeseball era of country, this stands out as perfectly atrocious. Would not listen again and do not recommend. How do I do less than 1 star for this asshole?

Countrymusik ist nicht meins. Countrymusik in dieser klassischen Urform wie auf diesem Album. Kaum Varianten, eher langweilig.

Country. I don't really like country music for 2 reasons. The first is the music which I generally find boring and repetitive, the second are the lyrics. Some reviews had mentioned the problematic lyrics on some of the tracks and they were correct. Two songs about killing your (possibly unfaithful) girlfriend/wife are two too many. Then there is the one where he steals money from a fellow inmate. But fear not in the last track he professes that he is a good christian boy really. No you are fucking not, you are a fucking hypocrite. And this sort of sums up most country music lyrics to me, they are utterly fake. I just don't believe that most country singers themself believe a word they are singing. Without the murderous lyrics that would mean three stars but as it is only one.

Going from good albums back to the muck is tonally jarring. Didn't land.

No

I don't know if this is where modern country truly got its roots, but it has a lot of the worst hallmarks of it, so I'm pointing my barrel it's way anyway. Did not enjoy this in the slightest. Dwight's voice was pretty damn annoying and none of the songs hooked me. Once again, there are like 10 albums absent from this list that deserve the spot more than this record.

Melkein pitäisi antaa ekstratähti siitä että jaan näköjään syntymäpäivän Dwight Yoakamin kanssa. Mutta vain melkein. Ei tällaista kantrijollotusta kestä.

I’m so sorry but I can’t

Totally forgettable. Hit most if not all of the country music stereotypes (though not sure I heard reference to a hound dog).

There is definitely country music worth listening to, but not this album. I'm reminded of Mars Attacks, Slim Whitman's Indian Love Song - that album is on the verge of destroying humanity.

Don’t know him but I don’t like him. Far too country for me. Kind of enjoyed the Mexican elements but his tone is so annoying we can add this to the one star club.

Country and western……. Just not my chaps and stetsons. Predictable line dancing fodder.

i really just dont care i really really just dont care its so difficult to listen to i really just dont care

I will never “get” country music. I’ve enjoyed some here and there, but I can’t understand how some people straight up live or die by that kind of music. And I don’t boast about my intuition for no reason. Because I saw this album this morning, and was able to tell from a mile away that I wasn’t going to like this. I couldn’t have predicted just how much I wouldn’t like it though. This is bad. That’s the least that I can say. When it comes to country music, there is a certain kind of very generic and poppy country that I really hate. And this falls in line with that. If you were to look up “free no copyright country background music” on YouTube, you would probably get something equivalent to this. It’s a total slog, and completely mind numbing. You couldn’t pay me to try and pick things that are different from song to song. The only mildly interesting piece of music here is the title track, because it differs slightly from the sound of the rest of the album. My biggest gripe with this is really the singer. This is gonna sound horribly mean, and all respect to this guy, because god knows I can’t sing the way he does, but this would be so much better if he just shut up. If this was an instrumental album, it would be bumped up a couple points. The root of all bad country music for me is almost always the vocalist. And on this, he hits these really awkward twangy high notes that grind my gears. If you don’t like country music, don’t listen to this. But even if you do like country music, you still shouldn’t listen to this. Rating: 2/10

get out of here.

si ponen otro aburrido album country denuncio penalmente al administrador de este sitio

Fairly unremarkable, pretty generic country music. Just not my genre

Not a fan

ew

no country please no no no

he sang about shooting his girlfriend if he caught her cheating… i think i need to do a better listen of some of these singers (male) and just give them 1 stars or 0 if possible cause singing about violence against women will never be art or good. so from here on out, any rampant misogynist and sexist songs, just straight stop listening and the least amount of stars.

Ow, no need

"Oh we got both kinds. Country and Western". And they're both shit

I was going to give it an extra star for being short, but I hate country.

I mostly remember Dwight Yoakam from Panic Room... he plays a good villain, was kinda fucked up. As for this album, not my thing, found it boring, didn't need to listen before I die.

Þetta er bara country plata sem ég á erfitt með að njóta....

Country. I swear to god it all sounds the same and I cannot STAND it.

What's next now? Garth-f*cking-Brooks? All too often, C&W ends up being a self-indulgent genre, both musically and lyrically. And if you add bland eighties production values to it, the result becomes a cringe-worthy listening experience. Hard pass. I'll stick to Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson and not bother about the rest. Next, please. Number of albums left to review: 371 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 284 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 149 Albums from the list I won't include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 203 (including this one)

Not for me, country isn't my jam

I didn't need to hear this before I die.

1.5/5

After listening I could not for the life of me remember a single melody or phrase except for 'Home of the Blues' (by Cash).

Horrible

Ugh nope too cliche country for me. Less than a minute in and he was already talking about his truck.

Gare country, saai

I'm sure some people like it, but I hate country music.

Tänker på när jag var med farfar på roadtrip i västra USA. I Cody, Illinois, åt vi middag, säkert en steak, medan den lokala countrymannen spelade på scen. Med sig hade han sin dotter, som sjöng otroligt vacker country. Där och då älskade jag country, jag älskade det familjära, hur dottern vuxit upp i samma lokal och sett sin pappa underhålla grannarna. Jag TÄNKER på den stunden när jag lyssnar på Dwight Yoakam, men jag KÄNNER inte riktigt samma sak. Detta ger mig endast en förnimmelse om vad country kan vara på rätt plats, vid rätt tillfälle. Tyvärr kommer dessa tillfällen väldigt sällan. Nu, när jag befinner mig långt bort från västra USA, långt bort från cowboy boots, rare steaks och milslånga vägar i öknen, känns countryn bara förljugen och barnslig. Jag KAN inte gilla detta, hur mycket jag än försöker placera mig i rätt sinnesstämning. Jag vet att det kan finnas något där, en värme - en moderskärlek - men den finns tyvärr inte i Dwight Yoakam. Bästa låt: Home of the Blues, men mest för att det är en Johnny Cash-låt.

How is this supposed to be on here? I'm guessing because it's traditional country in an era of Reagan-infused-country, but that doesn't make this good. Were this an album from the 50s or early 60s I'd give it some wiggle room, but this is the same year as Teenage Riot, for God's sake, Havwe some edge, something interesting, ANYTHING. It's a two star album, but this gets a one on principle. I will say the instrumentals are nice.

Don't like the singing, don't like the uninspired bass and drum, don't like the same-sounding melodies. There is really nothing about this album that I like I guess.

Christ not more C&W, please make it stop.

Straightforward country album - even as background music simply too annoying to give anything more than 1 star.

37 minutes too long. I don’t know what this cover is supposed to be. Whatever it is I hate it. Too classy for me.

do not like this type of country at all

Hillbilly bullshit

Based on this album, it seems like country music has been getting worse with time instead of better. The sound is very generic, and the storytelling is nonexistent. Most of the songs are some variation of "I love my woman/my woman cheated or left me", then there is one happy song about leaving his woman and her being sad for a change, one song about how the countryside is better than the city, and one obligatory song about God. Come on.

Someone could give me a revolver with three bullets and I could shoot all three country fans in existence: I just hated this album. Like don't get me wrong as country goes it wasn't awful but it just drove me made and I didn't enjoy it one bit. It ain't anything like a country album which may be enjoyable due to singing along to one song but this just sounded like the deep south and I don't want to experience that again.

Its shit, really struggled with this

Look, I love some Johnny Cash albums. I can have fun listening to Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton. But this album came across to me as a boring, vanilla, and uninspired set of songs. Maybe it means something to someone. Perhaps people fell in love while some of these songs were playing in the background. Maybe a couple of artists listened to it and decided to form a band. I do not know. What I know is that I don’t like it.

Ja, gute Nacht, sei mir nicht böse, wenn ich dich in dem room weiter alleine lasse. 🤮

YeeeeeeHawwwwww. Not really. shows the US influence on this list that this is even being considered what awful twee but also boring music.

fuck off.

If I ever lose my hearing, I will see the silver lining in never hearing a Dwight Yoakam song again

Musica de cowboy corno

Þessi týpa af köntríi fer alveg óendanlega í taugarnar á mér. Hjálpar ekki til þegar textar fjalla um að myrða konuna sem vildi þig ekki.

🥱 had some cool Latin music inspired moments but that’s all I can really say I liked abt it

Country. Not my bag.

This isn't even one of the 1001 best country albums.

boring...

Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins, Johnny Horton, Ray Price, Dolly Parton, Hank Williams... They're great country artists, aren't they?

Country

hating country music isn’t a very original sentiment but come on man

demasiado yanqui red neck para mi gusto, la musica country no me va

As soon as the album cover loaded, my first though was "Surely I have to draw the line somewhere." To my credit, I made it over a minute into the first song.

My friend was obsessed with Dwight when we were children, it isn't this album, but this transported me right back to that moment. I am not a big fan of country, so sorry Mr. Yoakam, this isn't my cup of tea. Also, those lyrics about killing your girl....um, big no.

This is a no from me Dawg (Dwight)

Getting very bored of these overproduced 80s country albums which sold millions of copies to a very select and limited audience of godbothering inbreds and nobody else. Yeehaw second amendment let's shoot up a school crap for idiots.

This really is awful. I know this guy is considered by many a National Treasure but these are insipid 80s marshmallow songs. It's almost laughable how cliched these are. I would be embarrassed found listening to this- I told my kids it was for the 1001 albums.........

Twangy tripe. Sure the musicianship is strong, but I just can’t take that… twangy vocal. And why not add a few yodel breaks just to get it deep under the skin. Dear lord this was hard to get through.

Not my thing. Thought "I Hear You Knockin'" was the best of it.

Literally name checks a truck in the first verse. Absolutely not. This is trash, complete and total trash.

gross

Where country music went to die.

stay lonely, pal

Tha fuck is this?!? Nothing triggers me like drawl. Please just STFU and let me hear the band. OK, for sure, this music makes me wretch. To each his own, but this? Fuck no. So disappointed, I honestly did not spend too much time here. Just skipping along before I broke down. Then a necessary palate cleanser (just about anything). This generator is one devious bitch.

I don't like country. I'm sure it's a fine example of the genre, but that genre is awful.

this is the honkiest, tonkiest album I've ever heard and it ain't for me.

Country music. Not my style.

This was a difficult listen. The songs were slow and uninteresting, and I found it hard to get through the entire album. I didn't have any favorite tracks, as I didn't enjoy any of the songs on the album. Overall, I would give the album 1 out of 5 stars. It's not one that I would recommend to anyone, and it's an example of why some people dislike country music. I won't be listening to it again.

Screw you list. I win! I finally won! It took us 500 albums but for once you're a loser. This is no Dolly. This is no Willie Nelson. This is none of the 60s country that's actually a bit decent. Doesn't even have any creative spins like the k.d. lang or Lucinda Williams records had. Nope. This is 40 minutes of pure honky tonk horseshit. Unoriginal and boring, neither the singer nor the band players sound they like a give a shit, and the lyrics are lame as could be. Could it get worse? Yes, at the very least this is true to form. Half the pop country you see on the charts since the 90s is much much worse. But that doesn't stop me from calling this irredeemable and of no value at all. I don't care if you throw an accordion in there. The two songs I was able to bear the most: What I Don't Know, Home of the Blues (probably cause my patience got sick after the 4th song)

Financial problems, infidelity, revenge, alcoholism, God, guns, southern pride, going to jail, and feeling down and out. Ahh, the seemingly eternal themes of country music. To me, this was awful.

This country Music is killing me

Guy does a nice version of Elvis's Suspicious Minds. Sorry it wasn't on this album because I would have had a song I liked. To me, sounds like he's whining throughout and songs seemed to run together. No favorite song. Would not recommend. A 1 rating for me

couldnt listen.too country.
