Have you walked the streets of Bakersfield enough to be able to tell ­Yoakam from Owens? Give yourself 10 points if you can guess which ­singer recorded the following songs. Allot another five points if you can guess the album on which the songs appear. - Eric Celeste


1. "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass"
Hint: This song was covered by the rockabilly group the Derailers as well as by Rob Zombie. It's true.

2. "Sin City"
Hint: A haunting duet, it appeared on his fourth album, which was a masterpiece from beginning to end.

3. "It Only Hurts When I Cry"
Hint: Sweet, sad, funny, this song was cowritten with Roger Miller, who wrote "King of the Road."

4. "Hot Dog"
Hint: This one is pure fun, rockabilly genius, and was recorded under the title "Corky Jones."

5. "Two Doors Down"
Hint: The album it's on was written after a failed relationship. It's a masterwork of painful beauty.

6. "Take Me Back Again"
Hint: This slow-dancing, mellow-swinging song is a tribute to the country cosmopolitan sound.
