 (1 Customer Review)
"Ain't That Lonely Yet" won Best Male Country Vocal Performance in the 36th Annual Grammy Awards.
"Pocket Of A Clown" was nominated for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
Dwight Yoakam's sixth release, THIS TIME, is a progressive country gem which embraces the past while forging forward into the future. Stretching vocally and musically (he wrote or co-wrote all but one song), Dwight, a rebel with a Kentucky twang and an L.A. swagger, presents the best album of his career.
"A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" is a haunting, folk-rockabilly song with a unique country twist. "Pocket Of A Clown," with its "oooh waah" chorus, is a brilliant send-up of overly serious ballads. "Ain't That Lonely Yet" is a supreme pop song, the story of a heartless lover told to kiss-off, with a vocal that glides sky high. "Fast as You" is a sexy moaner, with evil chuckles, erotic purrs, and Orbison-esque growls and sighs, over a fantastic Hammond organ and "Pretty Woman"/"Peter Gunn" rhythm. "This Time" is a loose-jawed, traditional Buck Owens tribute, and "Wild Ride" could be a Rolling Stones out-take. "Lonesome Roads" catches the very '90s Yoakam blowing with the tumbleweed, straight back to the hillbilly traditions of Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers.
Recorded at Capitol Studios, Los Angeles, California.

Rolling Stone (6/10/93, p.67) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...the finest showcase to date of Yoakam's artistry...From him, a slight shudder conveys more than most singers can express through a sob...Yoakam has learned to get where he's going with fewer strokes, less self-consciousness..."
Entertainment Weekly (4/2/93, p.51) - "...old-fashioned country shuffles with Elvis Presley attitude and long, Eric Clapton-style guitar outros...this is music for the long haul..." - Rating: A-
Q (4/93, p.91) - 3 Stars - Good - "...shows the wisdom of what might be called predictability....an approach that in clumsier hands might pass for parody and sentimentalism but Yoakam does have integrity..."
Musician (6/93, p.88) - "[Yoakam is] musically willing to combine honky-tonk and hillbilly configurations with rockabilly beats and stone rock guitar...an interesting mix of the shrewd and the guileless, and of each at different times pretending to be the other..."
Village Voice (3/1/94, p.5) - Ranked #26 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll. This Time Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Great CD
Great to sit back relax and listen to.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Best Dwight Yoakam album by far!
This Time is the best album from Dwight I've ever heard and one of the best country albums of all time! Every song on here is great - the weakest probably being "Pocket Of A Clown" but even that is a good song! The title track is a great ode to the Buck Owens Bakersfield type sound, "Two Doors Down" and "Lonesome Roads" are two great country standards, while "Thousand Miles From Nowhere", "Fast As You", and "Wild Ride" all are great country-rock crossovers! You definitely can't go wrong with this album! It's got something for everyone!!

This review is for a different format. a quintessential country album
Despite (or because of) all of the radio overkill, the songs here on This Time will always be the ones remembered by the casual Dwight fans. With good reason. Never before had Dwight and Pete Andersen been in such a groove with their writing and studio performance. If anything prior to this album sounded rehearsed, they remedied it here and set the agenda for the rest of the decade. Thanks, Dwight and Pete!

1951 was a breakthrough year for Hank Williams. He had a string of moderate country hits already under his belt, but the release that year of his version of an old jazz age novelty tune called "Lovesick Blues" suddenly made him a big star. It also meant his touring schedule increased, but he still found time that year to slip into Nashville and prerecord shows for the Mother's Best Flour Company. These good-natured and intimate performances were cut to acetate discs and then played over the air on Nashville's WSM radio station. Brittle, disposable, and made for only a few plays, these acetates were then shelved and ...
