Critically acclaimed blues maverick, Shane Dwight, will grab your attention after the first chord of 'No One Loves Me Better' on Red Parlor Records. This esteemed independent label has long been a champion of music's best songwriters, and Dwight is no exception. His new collection of songs is some of his most personal and emotionally charged to date. Dwight's goal was to create an album to be considered in its entirety. As such the songs on 'No One Loves Me Better' tell the heart-wrenching story of a man finding love, committing a crime and in the end, finding redemption.

Twentysomething Dwight Yoakam was literally the new kid in country music when he stepped onto the Austin City Limits stage in October 1988. But even then, as he has ever since, he was doing things his own way. Dwight was born in a small Kentucky town and grew up listening to mountain and bluegrass music, and unlike most of the mainstream country-pop crooners of the eighties, he almost singlehandedly revived the rockabilly/honky tonk/hillbilly sound that was one of the cornerstones of country music’s formative years.
