Dwight's full length debut album, Guitars, Cadillacs, Ect., Ect., was released in 1986 and was an instant sensation. Hillbilly Deluxe, Dwight's 1987 follow-up was equally successful, spawning four TopTen hits--"Little Sister,""Little Ways,""Please Please Baby," and "Always Late with Your Kisses." In 1988, Dwight had his first number one hit with "Streets of Bakersfield," a cover of Buck Owens song recorded with Buck himself.
Although his 1990 album If There Was A Way didn't have as many Top Ten hits, it was a major success-- it was his first album since his debut to go platinum. This time, released in 1993, was an even bigger hit, spawning 3 number two singles-- "Ain't that Lonely Yet,""A Thousand Miles From Nowhere," and " Fast as You"-- and going platinum. After it's release, Dwight was silent for 2 years, returning in the summer of 1995 with Dwight Live, which didn't set the charts on fire. In the Fall of that year, he released his 6th album, Gone, which went gold by the spring of 1996. After 1997's Under the Covers, a collection of cover songs, Dwight returned with tha all-new A Long Way Home in 1998. Another compilation, Last Chance for a Thousand Years:Greatest Hits from the 90's, was released in 1999.
