Three I jones for more than the others -- BUENOS NOCHES IN A LONELY ROOM -- this is my favorite -- I think it is his most fully realized album -- it has his first duet w/Buck on "Streets of Bakersfield". GONE -- probably his most diverse record. THIS TIME -- Just really damn good. The only ones that are lesser are LIVE, TOMORROW'S SOUNDS TODAY and UNDER THE COVERS. I didn't get the Rhino box set, but he certainly merited one. IMO, unless you count Steve Earle as a country artist, in which case, there's a good argument waiting, Dwight is the best country artist of the past two decades...
