Without a doubt one of the best country music performers ever. That voice. This song for personal reasons I tear up every time I hear it. To combine it with Merle's great hit. Music that can tear your heart out, yet you want to hear it over and over and over. Jason Aldean and all the other bubblegum pop country singers they wouldn't know country music if it hit them between the eyes. Right here. Country music 101 by the great Dwight Yoakam. Eddie Perez was fantastic here with Dwight. Thank you Dwight for such a great performance and years of great country music. Thanks for posting this video.
When I saw Dwight in concert, I was amazed at how good and strong his voice was. It is really an amazing instrument. He can bounce from low to high and high to low with complete ease. IMHO, only Buddy Holly had that ability. My deceased brother loved Dwight, so anytime I hear Dwight I think of him. My wife got me to go a Rick Springfield, and I got her to go Dwight. Overall, they were both really good.
Early morning - Dwight's voice is a little deeper. God, I love his voice!! He has such respect for other artists - I love to hear him talk about the history of music. ALWAYS, my favourite!!
@YseboodtC Johnny Cash mentioned Dwight as one of the top country artists. When I listen to Dwight, I hear influences like Hank Williams Sr, Buck Owens, Buddy Holly, Bill Monroe, Merle Haggard, Ralph Stanley, George Jones and Johnny Cash. I am from Kentucky and Dwight was born in Appalachia of eastern Kentucky. He moved to Ohio and one of my favorite Dwight songs is "Route 23", which talks about mountain people moving to factory towns.
I Love Dwight As A Great Singer & As A Writer Of Songs..** I Have Been A Fan Sense He Started..** He Needs More Attention From Nashville Tennessee..** They Seem To Pass The True Country Music Singers..** My Vote Would Be A He Is One Of The True Greats..** A Fan Until The End For Me..**
He is so handsome and sounds great he just make you want to hug him and hold on him for he is the sexy country music singer we have now yes all ours other have left us but this man have taken a lot of good looking singers place love you and your sexy move..
@YseboodtC Today's new country music sucks. The new country artists need to listen to Hank Sr to understand what country should be. I saw Dwight in concert; he is great live.
