Dwight Yoakam este un artist american de country rock care îmbină honky-tonk-ul tradițional cu o abordare rock și bakersfield sound. Stilul său caracteristic combină country-ul clasic cu un sunet de chitară pronunțat și o manieră vocală distinctivă.
Setul Original Album Series pe cinci CD-uri conține albumele de studio apărute între 1986 și 1993. Deschide debutul Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. cu hit-urile „Honky Tonk Man” și „Guitars, Cadillacs”, urmează Hillbilly Deluxe cu standarde country precum „Little Sister”. Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room aduce duetul „Streets of Bakersfield” cu Buck Owens, If There Was a Way include „Send a Message to My Heart” cu Patty Loveless, iar colecția se încheie cu This Time care prezintă piesele „A Thousand Miles from Nowhere” și „Ain't That Lonely Yet”. Compilația documentează perioada creativă a lui Yoakam în care a definit sonoritatea modernă a bakersfield country.
