Ron Dante - Brings You Up - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Brighter days are up ahead, declares Dwight Yoakam on the title track of his new album Brighter Days (Via Records/Thirty Tigers), his first of new original material in nine years. Written and recorded over the last three years, Brighter Days features 12 brand-new songs written/co-written by Yoakam, as well as two seemingly disparate covers of InchKeep On The Sunny SideInch by the Carter Family and InchBound AwayInch by Cake, artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be Dwight Yoakam. The infectious lead single InchI Don't Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom), Inch was written by Yoakam specifically for a collaboration with self-proclaimed Dwight Yoakam superfan, Post Malone. At once timeless and timely, in fact downright cowpunk-tual, Yoakam self-produced Brighter Days, blending a modern reverence for the history of country music with the pioneering rock and roll spirit of California. The result creates a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy that captures the quintessential Dwight Yoakam InchcoolInch that has separated the two-time Grammy winner from his country contemporaries since the start of his legendary career. As usual, Yoakam's lyrics throughout the album are both deceivingly effortless and poignant. Brighter Days was mixed by world-class engineer Chris Lord-Alge and is slated for Nov 15, 2024.
