Recording
The album features cuts Yoakam contributed to several tribute compilations, duets that appeared on other artists' albums, and a few unreleased covers. He released the album in an effort to fulfill his recording contract to Audium, much like his old label Reprise did with the LP In Others' Words the previous year.Reception
Dwight's Used Records was Yoakam's third covers album since 1997 and was not a commercial success. Mark Deming of AllMusic said, "Few if any major country artists of the 1980s and '90s had as consistent a run of strong recordings as Dwight Yoakam, and this compilation proves that even the material he gave away was better than what most of his peers were sending out as top-shelf product."Personnel
