Studio B at Capitol Records in Hollywood might be the tower that Sinatra built (with echo chambers designed by Les Paul: how cool is
that?) but it's also known as the 'hillbilly headquarters of the west coast.' Buck Owens, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Wynn Stewart, Bonnie Owens, Merle Haggard, and
Dwight Yoakam have all cut killer country records there.
It's one of Dwight's favorite studios and he returned to Capitol this year to mak
e 3 Pears, his new album out in September which he made with a bit of help from Beck.
3 Pears also marks Yoakam's return to Warner Brothers/Reprise, his original label. And judging by the photos from Dwight's website,
3 Pears features
Dwight's Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Elitist 'Dwight Trash' Casino Outfit. Get ready to close down the honky tonks once again.
