Cover art, front: a behatted (of course) Dwight, face completely hidden. Back: a shapely, half-nude model sporting a Persistence of Memory-style clock eyeing a sink overflowing with water and calendar pages. Title tune: one of Yoakam's most hardcore Bakersfield 'tonkers. It sits alongside a couple of rockers, a handful of inspired weepers, and two inexorably flowing country-pop numbers ("A Thousand Miles from Nowhere" and "Ain't That Lonely Yet") that deserved every second of airplay they got. He'd be even better when he entered the studio again (for Gone), but the only slouching he does here is in the photographs. --Rickey Wright

One of the best September 15, 2005

Outstanding album; one of the best ever released by any artist. I'd say this is one of the top 3 in Dwight's catalog of releases. There really are no words to describe the sound and mood found on these tracks, but this is definately "it". There seems to be a wide-open, vast, lonely feeling throughout this album, and whether the setting of the song begins in the desert or on a bar stool, you cannot help but feel damn near every word of the songs. I have always felt (and probably always will) that Dwight has no peers; but the mixing and outstanding engineering of the sound found here, deserves special mention. Well worth your money.

OK . . . Country music typicaly puts me to sleep. Each line rhymes, the beat is predictable, yadda yadda. Dwight is the exception. When all my friends were going crazy about Garth Brooks, I was listening to Dwight. I don't know much about country music, but I hear he is under-apprecated? Hello? I have nearly everything he has recorded, but this remains one of my favorites. Dwight is pure emotion, completely unpretentious, honest. My musical tastes range from Hip-Hop, R&B, POP to classical. One common tie between all of them . . . I appreciate GREAT music. This is one of Dwight's greatest, aside from his greatest hits compilations. "1000 Miles From Nowhere" and "It Ain't Over Yet" are just the tip of the iceburg of this man's enormous talent. I can only imagine that Dwight, himself, is a wonderful person with a great heart. His music certainly reflects that. It is worth the stigma of being "uncool" for listening to country. Dwight is the best, with one of the greatest voices ever. Check it out.
One of Dwight's Greatest Albums May 23, 2005

Dwight Yoakam has a voice and style that are drenched with his own unique originality. As far as his music goes, I'm convinced the man can do no wrong. When "This Time" was released back in 1993, Dwight was at the height of his commercial success... and he was able to achieve that success without any loss of identity or originality. Every track is a winner and the songwriting and overall quality of this album is superb.
This CD yielded three of the biggest hits of Yoakam's career: the heartbreaking "Ain't That Lonely Yet", the ethereal "A Thousand Miles from Nowhere", and the downright rockin' "Fast as You." As great as these songs are, there are other tracks found on this album that are just as good (if not better.) Other favorites here include "Home for Sale" & "Two Doors Down", two slow songs that are sure to break your heart with the delicacy of Dwight's vocals and the well-written lyrics. Also worth mentioning are "Pocket of a Clown", a bouncy psychobilly tune with great background vocals, "Lonesome Roads", which showcases some of the most self-depreciating lyrics Yoakam ever penned, and the title track "This Time", which adds a nice Bakersfield touch to the album.
With all that's great on "This Time", one might expect to find an inevitable weak point where it falters below expectations. However, I can say with total confidence that not even the most picky of critics can find a fault here. The songwriting, the vocals, and the arrangements are all amazing and have a great deal of variety among them. This album just proves that Mr. Yoakam always radiates his impeccable genius, regardless of Nashville's trends and tastes.
Dwight is terrific! May 4, 2005

Dwight is more than alright. Take it from this bonafide country gal. He is a remarkable artist and this a wonderful album.
My favorites are " A Thousand Miles for Nowhere," "A Pocket of a Clown," Aint That Lonely Yet," "Wild Ride."
If your looking for that upbeat country album with some kickin' vocals then Dwight should be your choice. This will be one of those you leave in your CD player for long periods of time it's that good!
Another Masterpiece from Dwight. June 15, 1999

Here is a guy that doesn't get the recognition he deserves, but in 200 years from now this guy is who they'll still be listening to. Nobody will remember Vince Gill, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, ad nauseum. Dwight is a genius. Everything he writes is great to listen to. I love the lyric in "Two Doors Down" where he says, "from the hotel to the barroom is just a stumble and a fall. Sometimes when it gets bad, I've been known to crawl", it gives me chills. Yet, he has the ability to sing sad songs and not be depressing. There is something in his voice that expresses hope. Dwight, if you read this, there is not much good music out there. So whatever you do in your acting career, PLEASE, keep making that great music. You are a national treasure.
