AllMusic

Gone is the sixth studio album by country music artist Dwight Yoakam. It rose as far up as #5 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. It produced three singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts: "Nothing" at No. 20, "Gone (That'll Be Me)" at No. 51, and "Sorry You Asked?" at No. 59. The final single, "Heart of Stone", failed to chart in the United States. This was also the first album of his career not to produce a Top Ten country hit.
