Apr 17, 2015Thirty years later, it's another landmark, his best record in years. Maybe decades.
-
Apr 14, 2015Second Hand Heart is prime Dwight Yoakam: traditional yet modern, flashy yet modest, a record that feels fresh but also like a forgotten classic.
-
Apr 14, 2015Second Hand Heart is put together like a great live set.... The album also realizes that rare goal of gaining steam and strength as it carries forward.
-
May 7, 2015By continuing to do what he does best, Dwight Yoakam, with Second Hand Heart, adds yet another excellent album to his nearly flawless catalog.
-
Apr 27, 2015It’s the start of a somewhat short but compelling 10-track, 41-minute ride that rocks hard while remaining firmly in country/roots territory.
-
Apr 14, 2015Less overtly than elsewhere, perhaps, Second Hand Heart still demonstrates Yoakam’s peerless ability, album after album, to graft new shoots onto classic forms.
-
Apr 14, 2015The album is a reckoning with grown-up love, a battle against disillusionment and a big brash stomp..... He’s still pushing, still sure of what makes a song alive and durable.
-

-
MagnetApr 15, 2015Second Hand Heart weakest moments are when it's a little too familiar, though.... He more than makes up for it elsewhere. [No. 119, p.61]
-
Apr 14, 2015Second Hand Heart is a whisker less awesome, but in the last month only Earl Sweatshirt’s album could match its acerbic brevity.
