Dwight Yoakam Just the idea of Dwight Yoakam making a bluegrass album is like some sort of gift from the country music Gods. Before a lick of music was heard, the news of “Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars...” was its own viral event... If you come to this record expecting some groundbreaking bluegrass project, especially if you weren’t in the loop that this is a covers record, you’re probably going to be disappointed. But if you look at it as Dwight trying to keep things spicy and interesting, and releasing a side project of cool bluegrass versions of some of his previously- released material, you’ll have a good time, enjoy the listen, see a different side of Dwight, and satiate your desire to hear what he’d be like in the bluegrass realm. - savingcountrymusic.com + + + + + Thanks to indykid for sharing the HDTV webcast at Dime. indykid noted: Americana Fest On ‘Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars...’, Dwight Yoakam has re-imagined some of his most well-known songs - 11 in total - as bluegrass tunes.
