Editorial Review:
All those folks who contemptuously dismiss today's mainstream country and wish they could have been around for the heyday of Lefty Frizzell and Buck Owens are missing the boat. Right now, right in front of us, the Frizzell-like George Strait and Owensesque Dwight Yoakam are quietly assembling two of the great careers in country music history. Further evidence is now available in the form of Yoakam's second greatest-hits package (the first, Just Lookin' for a Hit, collected his 10 best singles from 1986-89). The new collection gathers 11 of his 13 Top 40 country hits from 1991-96 (strangely omitting "Nothing's Changed Here" and "Try Not to Look So Pretty") and adds three new songs. The new ones are good ones--Yoakam gives the ballad "Thinking About Leaving," cowritten with Rodney Crowell, a striking low-note guitar riff; he makes Waylon Jennings's "I'll Go Back to Her" even more traditional than it was; and he lends Queen's rockabilly romp, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," an authenticity it never had. Yoakam is living proof that it's still possible to combine commercial success and artistic achievement in country. --Geoffrey Himes

Dwight Yoakams "Last Chance" CD 
2009-02-18 - Dwight Yoakam - Last Chance For A Thousand Years: Greatest Hits From The 90's (+ Bonus Tracks)
A Great CD!! He is a fantastic artist! He's "REAL" country..not like todays so called country singers. How rare!
Last Chance for a Thousand Years
2008-02-21 - I love Dwight Yokum and this albumn is absolutely the greatest one of his I've heard.
Good collection
2005-09-05 - As the title says, it's a collection of "90's Dwight songs. While I'm not a big fan of "Best Of...." albums, this is definately worthwhile for new Dwight listeners. Of course, the two previously unreleased tracks are just as good as the assortment of radio-played hits they accompany. "I'll Go Back to Her" is absolutely stone cold, tried & true, country, and may be the best track on the album? A+
A thousand miles to somewhere!
2004-08-11 - Dwight Yoakam gives us the best of his millennium in this collection of his greatest hits. The clever title is a clue to the excellence of this country western gem. One hopes his second millennium is as much fun as the first.
The Real Cowboy!! 
2004-04-16 - How can you not like Dwight.
I'm not a huge country fan, actually I don't enjoy the genre much, but Dwight Yoakam is great.
His songs are catchy and his songwriting briiliant. He NEVER sounds like some sappy cowboy singing cheesy lyrics about lost love or drinking with buddies out in some hick tavern.
Total toe-tapping music that forces you to have a good time. His whole catalogue of records are worth buying, but if you want to save a few bucks, get this one and be prepared to be totally satisfied!!!
Trust me. Have I ever lied to you before??????!!!!
