Music Banter - What Are You Listening To Right Now? II

The Virginian is just straight up one of the most fun albums anyone has ever heard. Tongue-in-cheek, old school Nashville sound, pop country gold that would have conquered redneck radio in 1997 if anyone had any sense.

I was listening to some older Dwight Yoakam and was wondering if he'd done anything new recently. I was pleasantly surprised to find he put this out a few years back:

3 Pears

The album, which includes collaborations with Beck, Kid Rock, and Ashley Monroe of Pistol Annies, has been one of the most critically acclaimed recordings of Yoakam's career. 3 Pears peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 album chart, becoming Yoakam's highest position on the general music chart. By the end of 2012, 3 Pears had appeared on more critic's annual "Best Of" lists than any other album in the country music genre.

On my 3rd listen. Real strong songwriting, but I miss Pete Anderson. Really trying to let this grow on me though.
