Details: Product Description Tomorrow's Sounds Today is the twelfth album by country music artist Dwight Yoakam. Yoakam catapults the sad, heartbroken country song into the next millennium with tracks including "What Do You Know About Love," "Time Spent Missing You," "The Heartaches Are Free," "A Promise You Can't Keep" and more, including 2 duets with Buck Owens: "Alright, I'm Wrong" and "I Was There." [Note: This product is an authorized, licensed CD and is manufactured on demand] Amazon.ca Though Dwight Yoakam is tagged with a well-deserved (and in his case complimentary) "outsider" label, he is, ironically, one of country music's most accessible artists. Tomorrow's Sounds Today, his follow-up to the wonderful, acoustic-only Dwightyoakamacoustic.net, is proof. While it may be difficult to think of Yoakam as accessible--his music and persona are brash, cocky throwbacks to the days when slightly dangerous country artists actually did fall off their barstools--he has become so adept at incorporating a broad palate of influences that music fans of many stripes feel comfortable with the Kentucky cowboy. On Tomorrow's Sounds Today, Yoakam again reaches to hard-driving, old-school, honky-tonk country as the main ingredient while leavening the mix with jolting shots of rockabilly, Tex-Mex shuffle, and ain't-love-heartbreakin' sentiment. Yoakam's primary influence, , guests on three tracks, "The Sad Side of Town", "I Was There" (featuring Pete Anderson's growling guitar work) and "Alright, I'm Wrong", which showcases the accordion of Flaco Jimenez. Elsewhere, Yoakam delivers rocking country backbeats, memorable hooks, dusty down-home waltzes in full drawl, even a cover of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me". As usual, Yoakam's impeccable band is up to the task, handling the songs with ease while not sacrificing a single volt of electricity. -- S. Duda
