Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room by Dwight Yoakam

Had it only included one song about shooting his cheating woman in the head, this would have been a solid three stars, but no! There's more than one! It's super gross! There's, admittedly, a pretty clear thematic narrative running through the entire first side of the album that actually does justify it somewhat, going from love, to adultery, to paranoia, to abandonment, to murder, but still. Ugh. Total vibe ruiner. Because the vibes are otherwise impeccable! Pure country from an era where that had largely stopped being a thing, hell yeah. Though honestly, the title and overall presentation of the album deserved something sadder and hornier than ol' Dwight is capable of. I loved you in Crank and Crank: High Voltage, sir.
