Dwight Yoakam - Pieces of Time

Rating:
Summary: a one-of-a-kind talent
Review: Dwight Yoakam is a country star with multi-faceted talent, and he shines in these videos from 1990-94 as a songwriter, singer, musician, inimitable performer and actor; Yoakam wrote or co-wrote 8 of the 11 songs, and some of them include his unique floorshow moves in his seemingly glued-on jeans, and interspersed between a few of the songs are vignettes where he gets to use some of his acting skills.
Favorite tracks include the Elvis hit "Suspicious Minds", "It Only Hurts When I Cry", "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere", and "Pocket of a Clown"; all these songs have terrific melodies, good visuals, and are very entertaining. "Ain't That Lonely Yet" was a # 1 single and won a 1993 Best Country Vocal Performance Grammy.
The CDs with these songs are: Track # 1 is on the U.K. release "La Croix d'Amour" (1992), tracks 2-6 are on "If There was a Way" (1990), and tracks 7-11 are on "This Time" (1993).

Song list:
"Suspicious Minds" (Zambon ~ 1992)
"The Heart That You Own" (Yoakam ~ 1992)
"Turn it On, Turn it Up, Turn Me Loose" (Kostas-Patton ~ 1990)
"Takes a Lot to Rock You" (Yoakam ~ 1992)
"You're the One" (Yoakam ~ 1991)
"It Only Hurts When I Cry" (Yoakam-Miller ~ 1991)
"Ain't That Lonely Yet" (Kostas-House ~ 1993)
"A Thousand Miles From Nowhere" (Yoakam ~ 1993)
"Fast as You" (Yoakam ~ 1993)

Summary: Music and comedic pieces drive Pieces of Time
Review: Released in 1994, the "Pieces of Time" video is a collection of 11 music videos from '90-'94, including: "Suspicious Minds," "The Heart That You Own," "Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose," "Takes A Lot To Rock You," "You're The One," "It Only Hurts When I Cry," "Ain't That Lonely Yet," "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere," "Fast As You," "Try Not To Look So Pretty," and "Pocket Of A Clown." The videos are linked by a series of vignettes that are both amusing and revealing. Not just a pouty country music singer, Yoakam has a sense of humor - and humor is what he uses to bring to light what goes on in his (somewhat twisted) mind. This is a great collection of music videos plus the chance to see the comedic side of Dwight Yoakam we don't usually experience through his songs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Summary: Good
Review: These videos are well shot, much to my surprise. I especially like "Thousand Miles From Nowhere" and how it uses the train motif not unlike how the song was used during the final shot of John Dahl's terrific film "Red Rock West", featuring a train riding off into the distance. And Dwight had a role in that film as a trucker, so there. Now we just need the rest of his videos since these released on dvd.
