Lead Performance: Dwight Yoakam
B+
Yoakam attempts to replicate nearly the entire pop canon, country-style. He moves from the mariachi-flavored ''Sorry You Asked'' to the Rolling Stones-influenced ''Never Hold You,'' mixing in Buck Owens Bakersfield honky-tonk and the dreaded Nashville sound of the '60s. The result is his most ambitious effort yet. It's also his least affecting -- he's so busy getting the synthesis right that he forgot the soul.
