Just Lookin' for a Hit is the first compilation album by American country music artist Dwight Yoakam.

Yoakam played gigs alongside Alvin's band The Blasters, Los Lobos, X, and others in the rock and punk clubs of Los Angeles, and, beginning in 1986, Yoakam scored a run of three consecutive number one country albums.

According to Don McLeese’s book A Thousand Miles from Nowhere, Alvin was overjoyed when Yoakam, one of the hottest stars in country music at the time, told him that he was going to record the song: And I went, “Fuck yes!” So I went down there, and they’d already cut the track and Dwight was putting on harmony vocals.

A rock and roll homage to Hank Williams, who was essentially the first rock star.”[2] The album also contains a cover version of the Flying Burrito Brothers song “Sin City,” which was written by Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons.

Parsons, who also died young, was a country-rock pioneer and guiding light behind the Byrds’ seminal Sweetheart of the Rodeo album that Yoakam highly regarded.
