Hillbilly Deluxe is the second album by country music singer-songwriter, Dwight Yoakam. Released in 1987, it was Yoakam's second consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard Country Albums chart.
With the success of his debut album Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., which hit No. 1 on the Billboard country albums chart, Yoakam emerged as one of country music's hottest stars. Aided by producer and guitarist Pete Anderson, he put a fresh spin on the honky-tonk sound of his Bakersfield hero Buck Owens to create a unique style that revitalized interest in traditional country music, as opposed to the more pop-friendly approach that dominated Nashville in the early and mid-Eighties.
Hillbilly Deluxe appeared in April 1987, a mere thirteen months after his debut LP. Producer Pete Anderson later recalled:
"When we started, Dwight had twenty-one songs that were really good, that we played on the bandstand. So I said to him, 'Let’s do seven of your songs and three covers on every album. So right now you’ve got three albums’ worth of material.' So he had 'South of Cincinnati,' 'I Sang Dixie,' and 'Johnson’s Love' that were all slow tempo tunes. It wasn't that any of them was basically better, but we couldn't put all three on the same record."
