On September 18th, 2012, Grammy-Award winner Dwight Yoakam will release his first all new studio album in seven years, 3 Pears (Warner Bros. Records). The 12-track release, his 26th, is produced by Yoakam, along with two songs co-produced with Beck; €œA Heart Like Mine€ and €œMissing Heart€ (full track listing below). Fans can hear a teaser of the track, €œTrying,€ now on Yoakam€s newly launched website www.DwightYoakam.com.Â
3 Pears exemplifies Yoakam€s ability to incorporate multiple, competing influences into a piece of cohesive art. It balances his country core with a fiercely independent embrace of rock, Americana, pop and soul and builds on his trademark edginess with a notable, growing positivity. 3 Pears contains heartfelt love songs, which showcase Yoakam€s authentic country vocals while maintaining his unmistakable classic sound.
