I featured Dwight Yoakam's Long White Cadillac yesterday, and today I'm featuring one of Yoakam's biggest hits. Guitars, Cadillacs was the second single released from Yoakam's 1986 debut album Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. Etc. It was a top five hit on the Billboard Hot Country charts, peaking at #4. Enjoy!

I love Dwight Yoakam's music. He's got one of the most distinct voices in all of country music or any music genre for that matter. Back in 1989, he released a greatest hits album called Just Lookin' For A Hit. Appropriately enough, he got one new hit from the album. It's wasn't a huge hit, but it was a top 40 hit on the country charts. Long White Cadillac was the only new single released from the album, and it peaked at #35 on the Billboard Hot Country charts. Enjoy!

I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac
A voice inside my head said don't look back
You can never look back"
