Blame the Vain

'Blame The Vain' is the powerful new self-produced album from Dwight Yoakam. Basically serving as 21 years captured in a nutshell; the pervasive feeling of renewal radiating from the hillbilly rocker's 18th sonic outing is undeniable.

Tracks range from the swaggering rockabilly rev-up "3 Good Reasons" to the pedal steel drenched shuffle "I'll Pretend" to the Haggard-style weeper "Does it Show". The Buck Owens-inspired "I Wanna Love Again" as well as the catchy Burritos-esque title-track, are both guaranteed pleasers.

"It just happened to be the time and the moment for me to go ahead and fully express what I had going on in my head," says Yoakam of this breakthrough album. "I think it's a unique moment for me musically - and hopefully a time for people who have been listening to my music all along to re-experience me with this."
