Dwight's Used Records is a compilation album by American country music performer Dwight Yoakam, issued by Audium Records on June 29, 2004. The collection attained the 57th position on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.
Recording
This compilation features songs Yoakam recorded for tribute projects, collaborations on other artists' albums, and previously unreleased cover versions. It was primarily released to satisfy his contractual obligations with Audium, much like the prior year's In Others' Words released through Reprise.
Reception
As Yoakam’s third album consisting entirely of cover songs since 1997, Dwight's Used Records experienced limited commercial impact. Nevertheless, AllMusic critic Mark Deming remarked that even Yoakam’s less prominent works outshine much of the leading material from his peers.
