The ginuwine article.
Loved 'Dwight Sings Buck'.

Covered 'The Last Time' when I saw him opening for the Dead in DC in '91.

I like some of his stuff. 'This Time' is a cracking album. Especially 'A Thousand Miles from Nowhere'.

By far my favorite Dwight!

He does some pretty good Hank too!

When it comes to musical Dwight's. I prefer Twilley over Yokum. But DY is'nt bad as far as country acts go. Didn't he also do a Cheap Trick cover once?

A country artist that matters. Saw him recently in(09) Minnesota, what a showman. He did a three song set of Gram Parsons tunes with my favorite being the Bee Gees cover of To Love Somebody. Then he did some songs by Gordon Lightfoot. Any way a great artist who should be playing bigger venues he rocks I recommend seeing him live.
