What's your favorite Dwight Yoakam song?

[gpmcd]

I met Dwight’s bus driver at a car wash just outside of Nashville. He said Dwight was one of the nicest people you could meet and he never acted like a superstar or talked down to anyone. I think that is so respectable.

I knew Dwight pretty well back in the day. Interestingly, he's never had a drop of booze and he's sharp as a tack. Really bright dude and generous as hell. Respect to the guy.

He is simply the last of the greats, yo cannot confuse his voice or his looks with any other. That man is so damn cool always wll be.

The name Dwight Yoakam is a song in itself, Love all his songs. I love him, can't get enough of his voice.

"Hillbillies riding around in a jet plane" is the perfect country song title or lyric! Awesome interview!

[matthewb]

Dwight is one of my absolute musical heroes. You don't have to listen to a single interview of his, just his songs, to know how genuine of a person he is.

Dwight’s portrayal of Doyle Hargraves in Slingblade was one of the finest performances I’ve ever seen.

[robbygaume]

When you've played with Gosdin and Yoakam, you can call your career an overwhelming success. Awesome video as always.

Just saw Dwight..the man definitely is perfection.

I like the characters that Dwight portrayed in Billy Bob’s movies, he was quite the underrated actor as well as a great musician.

Dwight and his band puts on a hell of a show me an my wife had the pleasure of seeing him play a few years back. I would definitely like to see him again.

Dwight Yokam surrounds himself with phenomenal musicians.

[Justme]

The first Dwight album I ever heard was If There Was a Way. I fell in love with it and had to have everything he put out before it. The production quality of If there was a way is so beautiful. I love Dwight.

[edwardgordon]

I'm so glad I got to see DY at small venues before he was ever signed to a record deal. He was just as talented then.

Thanks for sharing this amazing interview

Years ago I had an opportunity to have a very good bass player work with me but he was used to playing rock, blues or jazz. I sent him the sheet music and recordings of the songs I wanted him to use. There were 3 Dwight songs on the list. Two of the songs were “If there was a way” and “Nothing”. When I saw him at first rehearsal, he laughed and said “country songs are supposed to have only 3 or 4 chords.” He became a fan after that gig.
