Dwight Yoakam: Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. Etc. (Warner/Reprise 1-25372)
John Morthland, Country Music, March 1986
DWIGHT YOAKAM'S debut album has Attitude, the way Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers had Attitude in the 1920's when they taunted revenooers in 'A Corn Likker Still in Georgia', the way Jerry Lee Lewis has Attitude when he plays piano with the heel of his boot, the way Stonewall Jackson had Attitude when he parked his truck in front of the Opry and marched inside demanding to be heard even though he had no records out.
