March 29, 2005: Dwight Yoakam will have a busy 2005 with a new album, a summer tour and three movie projects.
The first single from "Blame the Vain," out June 14, hits radio this month with a video to hit airwaves shortly thereafter.
"We never left a session that wasn't flat-out fun," said Yoakam, who produced himself for the first time and wrote the music and lyrics for the 12 songs.
Mixed by David Leonard, who did the same honors for Yoakam's "If There Was A Way" and "This Time," the new disc includes country, rockabilly, chiming British Invasion guitars, classic Southern rock, a Bakersfield sound.
Musicians include guitarist Keith Gattis, keyboardist Skip Edwards, bassist Taras Prodaniuk, Mitch Marine on drums and percussionist Bobbye Hall, whose work is heard on many Motown albums. She was first credited on Marvin Gaye's album "What's Goin' On."
On film, Yoakam will be in "Bandidas" with Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek and "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada," directed by and starring Tommy Lee Jones plus a cameo in the Owen Wilson/Vince Vaughan movie "The Wedding Crashers."
