Our Take

WYNN STEWART Bakersfield Pioneer: Complete Releases 1954-62

Wynn Stewart, the man with the twang, the voice that could make a honky-tonk cry, the Bakersfield pioneer who paved the way for the likes of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. This comprehensive collection of his early works from 1954 to 1962 is a musical time capsule, a reminder of the golden age of honky-tonk and country music.

Stewart's songs are like a late-night whiskey shot - they hit you straight in the gut, leaving you both exhilarated and emotionally bruised. His voice is pure country gold, filled with heartache, longing, and a touch of rebellious spirit. From the upbeat honky-tonk shuffles to the heart-wrenching ballads, Stewart's music takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of love and loss.

Tracks like "Wishful Thinking" and "Come On" showcase Stewart's raw talent and infectious energy, while slower tunes like "Playboy" and "I'm Gonna See My Baby Tonight" demonstrate his soulful, emotive vocals. Each song is a story, a slice of life from a bygone era, brought to life by Stewart's heartfelt delivery.

Overall, Wynn Stewart's Bakersfield Pioneer: Complete Releases 1954-62 is a must-have for any country music enthusiast. It's a journey through the heart of honky-tonk, a tribute to a true pioneer of the Bakersfield sound. So grab yourself a cold one, put on your cowboy boots, and let Wynn Stewart serenade you into the night. Trust me, you won't regret it.
