RS: 3.5of 5 Stars

Dwight Yoakam's musical vision remains wholly focused on the kind of classic country sounds you only find these days on -- well, Dwight Yoakam albums. Bakersfield legend Buck Owens guests on three of the best tracks on Tomorrow, but it's Yoakam's own intensely expressive rockabilly croon that gives songs like "A World of Blue" and "Love Caught Up to Me" a sense of timelessness. It doesn't hurt to have ace guitarist Pete Anderson nimbly picking his way through generous sheets of crying pedal steel, either. Tomorrow's Sounds Today lacks the focused punch of Yoakam's best album, 1995's lean-and-mean Gone, but it's at least as consistent as his recent Nineties greatest-hits set -- right down to the nifty honky-tonk rock & roll cover, "I Want You to Want Me." Mr. Yoakam, your Gap ad will see you now. (RS 855)
