Editorial Review:
In what could almost have been the fifth disc of his box set, Yoakam pairs three previously unreleased recordings with 11 collaborations, tribute-album tracks, and other odds and sods. There are some predictably oil-and-water mismatches in singing partners (Deana Carter on "Waiting") as well as material ("Loco Motion," one of the new tracks, is, uh, "different"). Still, there's also his way-cool revival of "Mercury Blues" and a robust, beautifully arranged "Understand Your Man" in tribute to Johnny Cash, along with some welcome hard-country like Webb Pierce's "If You Were Me (And I Were You)" and that odd version of "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide," which sounds all wrong at first but has a way of growing on you. --John Morthland
Dwight's Used Records Reviews:
Yoakam is a genius 
2007-09-13 - I always return to Yoakam's music when I grow tired of today's modern country and need to hear some "real country" . Yoakam's diversity continues to amaze me. He's certainly a genius in his field.
Dwight Yoakam

I'd say this is his best album (It's certainly my favorite)
2006-10-05 - Some squeamish professorial types apparently think my reviews of Dwight Yoakam's albums verge on softcore porn. Well, to that I say a) what kind of soft porn have you been reading? (seriously, you're gettin' gypped), and b) the singing, songs, musicianship and soul in Dwight Yoakam's albums all warrant my swoon-y hyperbole.
USED RECORDS is my favorite because of the breadth of styles and songs. There's the incomparable duet with Kelly Willis, "Waiting," my favroite song ever. Then tehre's the gorgeous tarditional songs, like the Ralph Stanley duet "Down by the Sycamore Tree," then there are great push-your-tush numbers like "Loco-motion" and "Mercury Blues." And tasty Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings covers...I could go on and on. Stop me before I drool!
The bottom line is this: Buy this, it will be well-used by you (harhar) and cherished for many years to come.
ON EOF MY FAVORITES
2006-06-19 - I love this CD. I think it is some of Dwight's best work. I liked the mix of songs, especially the almost 60's sound of Stop the World and Understand your Man and how the contrasted with the "classic" Yoakum sound of Miner's Prayer. The more often I listen to it, the more I like it, the beat is good and you can dance to it (smile). Dwight keeps getting better and better.
