Dwight Yoakam amerikai country rock előadó, aki a hagyományos honky-tonkot rock megközelítéssel és bakersfield sounddal ötvözi. Jellegzetes stílusa a klasszikus countryt markáns gitárhanggal és sajátos vokális előadásmóddal kombinálja.
Az Original Album Series öt CD-n az 1986 és 1993 között megjelent stúdióalbumokat tartalmazza. A debütáló Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. a „Honky Tonk Man” és „Guitars, Cadillacs” slágerekkel nyit, majd következik a Hillbilly Deluxe country klasszikusokkal, mint a „Little Sister”. A Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room tartalmazza a „Streets of Bakersfield” duettet Buck Owens-szal, az If There Was a Way tartalmazza a „Send a Message to My Heart” dalt Patty Loveless-szal, és a gyűjteményt a This Time zárja a „A Thousand Miles from Nowhere” és „Ain't That Lonely Yet” dalokkal. A válogatás Yoakam alkotói korszakát dokumentálja, amikor a modern bakersfield country hangzást formálta.
