Yoakam's third album finds him more daring in his incorporation of Creedence-style rock guitar fills--Pete Anderson, take a bow--and Tex-Mex polka into his Bakersfield stomp. Class resentment and murderous jealousy color this disc much more than its predecessors; "I Sang Dixie" is one of the all-time great I'm-just-a-country-boy-in-this-mean-ol'-city songs. And while Yoakam's version of "Home of the Blues" doesn't muster the drama of Johnny Cash's original, he'll forever deserve props for resurrecting the Buck Owens obscurity "Streets of Bakersfield"--not to mention duet partner Owens's then-dormant career. --Rickey Wright

 Dwight never lets you down September 3, 2008
Any serious music lover would enjoy this CD. Dwight writes all the songs and music and never fails to deliver music that, while sometimes, is a little "twangy" is also full of wit, sarcasm and humor.
 She Wore Red Dresses.. August 26, 2008
..with her black shining hair,the title track,Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room,is Dwight Yoakam's best album by far,loaded with ballads and heavy country rockers,every track a winner from,I got you,to,Hold On To God,and in between there's,I Hear You Knockin',Send Me The Pillow,I Sang Dixie and the number one hit,Streets Of Bakersfield,the duet recorded after Yoakam yanked Buck Owens out of retirement in 1988,this album is a high energy recording for Dwight Yoakam and one of his best.

This was Dwight Yoakam's third major label album. It features seven original songs and four covers of older songs. The album features Dwight's first #1 hit, a cover of Buck Owens' "Streets of Bakersfield", featuring Buck himself, which helped to revive Buck's career. It also features Dwight's second #1 hit, "I Sang Dixie". "I Got You" was a Top Five hit and "Beunas Noches From a Lonely Room" just barely missed being a hit. Overall a very good album, which Dwight's fans will enjoy.

This is one of Dwight's darker albums, and also one of his best albums. While he still maintains that Bakersfield integrity, you'll hear much more "south-of-the-border" influence here. This album also introduces us to the Buck Owens duet that gave Dwight his first #1 hit, "Streets of Bakersfield". While most of these numbers harken back to the glory days of Buck, Merle, and Wynn Stewart, there's also a few fine Kentucky/Appalachian flavored tunes that, thankfully, would also be included in most (if not all) of his future albums: these include "Floyd County" and a beautiful gospel number "Hold on to God". No other artist has maintained his roots and artistic integrity as Dwight has, and country music owes this man a big THANKS.
Dwight is a legend!! December 24, 2005

A far departure from today's country, Dwight Yoakam never lets his fans down. He remains true to old country/rockabilly, the sound and musicians who inspired him, like the duet with Buck Owens in "Bakersfield" or the classic Hank Locklin "Send Me The Pillow".
This CD radiates that sound of lonliness, whether it's livin' lovin' and leavin' songs or just plain down and out and broke like "I Got You". Dwight's voice is so original, never can anyone sound like him. The music is toe-tappin that always features great guitar sounds! And, the "I Hear You Knockin'" is a a different song than the popular one known by Dave Edmunds; this is excellent too.
Every song here is a gem; it's that Dwight Yoakam sound!
With the rash of maufactured country singers today...please INTRODUCE SOMEONE to Dwight Yoakam .....MzRizz
