Since Yoakam built much of his vocal style around that of the late Bakersfield master, and recorded with him on occasion, the two collaborating most famously on Owens's own work ('Streets of Bakersfield'), it is only natural that Yoakam do a whole album of Buck Owens' songs. Dwight Sings Buck moves briskly for 15 tracks, since 10 of them run under three minutes. Yoakam, who also produced the album, keeps the production shiny, punchy, and faithful to the golden age of honky-tonk. Adding just enough Dwight - and a little Elvis - to Buck's songs show that Iimitation may indeed be the sincerest form of flattery.
