Dwight Yoakam to amerykański country rocker, który łączy tradycyjny honky-tonk z rockowym podejściem i bakersfield sound. Jego charakterystyczny styl łączy klasyczne country z wyrazistym brzmieniem gitar i wyjątkowym wokalem.
Box Original Album Series na pięciu płytach CD zawiera albumy studyjne z lat 1986–1993. Otwiera go debiut Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. z hitami „Honky Tonk Man” i „Guitars, Cadillacs”, następnie Hillbilly Deluxe ze standardami country takimi jak „Little Sister”. Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room przynosi duet „Streets of Bakersfield” z Buckiem Owensem, If There Was a Way zawiera „Send a Message to My Heart” z Patty Loveless, a kolekcję zamyka This Time z utworami „A Thousand Miles from Nowhere” i „Ain't That Lonely Yet”. Kompilacja dokumentuje twórczość Yoakama w okresie, gdy definiował współczesne brzmienie bakersfield country.
