Where Would Doo-Wight Be Without Pete?


Anybody else out there into Dwight Yoakam's right hand man, Mr. Pete Anderson? Dwight writes some great tunes, but Anderson's ever tasty guitar and crisp production are as equally important to their success. Anderson has plenty of chops, but he has the self-restraint to not overplay. As Telecaster twangers go, Pete's up there with the best.

I particularly like Anderson's playing on "Little Sister", "Please, Please, Baby" and "If There Was A Way". There are a lot of others, but these are my favorites. I have his first two solo albums ("Working Class" & "All Dogs Go to Heaven") and I'll put "Daredevil" on my to buy list. His version of "Our Day Will Come" is unbelievable...it's Gattonesque!

Pete Anderson is also a producer of some note. He's worked with Michelle Shocked, Blue Rodeo and the Meat Puppets. The recent Dwight albums are LOUD, but "Buenas Noches" is a super sounding recording.
