Greatest Hits - 3CD Set (2006)

Deze tripel-CD-set geeft in 36 tracks een compleet en chronologisch beeld van de carrière van de countryzanger, van z'n debuut in 1986 tot aan het einde van z'n contract met Warner Brothers in 2003. "Randy Travis sold more records and George Strait was a purer country singer, but Dwight Yoakam was as influential as either on country music in the '80s. A Kentucky-born, Ohio-raised refugee from Nashville, he headed out to California where he managed to play Bakersfield country for L.A. punks, laying the groundwork for the Americana movement of the late '80s and '90s by not only revitalizing classic country from honky tonks to country-pop ballads through his traditionalist readings, but treating rock songs in a similar fashion." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic)
