DWIGHT YOAKAM'S SECOND HAND HEART

'Second Hand Heart' is the new Dwight Yoakam album due April 14 . All newly-penned songs by Yoakam except for two by other writers. This is Yoakam with lots of rhythm. Go here over at NPR for a first listen to the new album.
I adored that Americana 'New Country' sound that introduced me to Lyle Lovett, [via John Prine as it goes] and Nanci Griffith,  Steve Earle,  Butch Hancock and many others but I have to say I own every Dwight Yoakam album and I really like his acting too. This album is a clear return to his powerful roots and that energised sound we have come to expect. Great stuff!
