Dwight Yoakam Announces New Album Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars… For September 2016 Release

Dwight Yoakam has just announced his new studio album Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars set for release on September 23rd via Sugar Hill Records. The album includes reinterpretations of some of Yoakam’s classic tunes, which he is calling “Bluegrass Reinventions”.

The project was recorded at Southern Ground Studio in Tennessee as well as Capitol Records Studio B in Los Angeles. Bryan Sutton (guitar), Stuart Duncan (fiddle and banjo), Barry Bales (bass), Adam Steffey (mandolin), and Scott Vestal (banjo) are all featured on the album.
