Dwight Yoakam's new album follows the country singer and screen actor’s appearance at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards at which he performed with Best New Artist nominee Brandy Clark.
Yoakam self-produced Second Hand Heart and the album features two covers, Anthony Crawford's V's of Birds and a cover of the traditional Man of Constant Sorrow. Yoakam penned the other eight songs on his own.
Ever since his sparky, fresh-sounding debut, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., released in 1986, the musician has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide. He has earned 12 gold albums and nine platinum or multi-platinum albums, including the triple-platinum This Time record.
He is a 21-time nominated, multiple Grammy Award winner. His previous album, Three Pears, spent a record-breaking eight weeks at the top of the Americana Chart. Films he has starred in include Slingblade, Red Rock West, South of Heaven, West of Hell, and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.
