Review

Uncut (p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]here's an edge that's been absent in recent years."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 3 stars out of 5 - "The same amalgam of pure country, rockabilly and Southern rock allied to a hint of British invasion influences are evident, while a few nods to past heroes are provided."

Title Note

Personnel include: Dwight Yoakam (vocals, acoustic guitar); Gerry McGee (acoustic guitar); Keith Gattis (electric guitar); Skip Edwards (pedal steel guitar, piano, Wurlitzer piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Phillip Vaiman (violin); Thomas Diener (viola); Eric Gaenslen (cello); Jessica Bolter (oboe); Lee Thornburg (French horn); Taras Prodaniuk (bass instrument); Mitch Marine (drums); Bobbye Hall (percussion); Jonathan Clark, Timothy B. Schmit, Dave Roe (background vocals).

Dwight Yoakam is the Baskin-Robbins of heartbreak, turning out more variations on classic lovelorn themes than anyone might have thought possible. As he's done dependably since the mid-1980s, the man who put New Traditionalism on the country music map brings the Buck Owens/Merle Haggard sound into the present, with occasional rock and blues touches. Yoakam reaches even further back on the mournful ballad "Lucky That Way," building on a classic Hank Williams-style template. But he can be unpredictable as well; the anomalous intro to "She'll Remember," awash in synthesizer and jokey British accent, could have slipped off a Blur album, and the wide-screen strings-and-tympani drama of "The Last Heart in Line" finds Yoakam dipping into Roy Orbison territory. In lesser hands, the catalogue of emotional train wrecks that is BLAME THE VAIN might come off monochromatic, but with a master craftsman like Yoakam, the endless stream of subtleties in his multi-hued view of failed romance are consistently involving.
