Introduction
“I Want You to Want Me” is a song originally written and recorded by the American rock band Cheap Trick in 1977. In 2000, country artist Dwight Yoakam covered this track on his eleventh studio album, Tomorrow’s Sounds Today, released on October 31, 2000.
This cover exemplifies Yoakam’s ability to bridge genres, infusing a classic rock song with his distinctive honky-tonk style. The album itself marked a return to traditional country sounds for Yoakam, featuring collaborations with legendary artist Buck Owens.
Critically, Tomorrow’s Sounds Today was praised for its authentic country feel. AllMusic noted that Yoakam “fashioned a contemporary roots-conscious country album whose qualities, like the artist’s distinctive style, are timeless.”
