Dwight Yoakam - 'I Sang Dixie' [Live from Austin, TX]

[bigbillhenry]

Definitely one of the best voices in country music. Buck Owens God rest his soul knew talent

[BeanerSchnitzel]

He left and then decided to come back to reveal one of his greatest songs ever as a bonus. What a treat.

Just Dwight and his guitar…..beautifully perfect. Thank you DY.

As an alcoholic currently in recovery this song makes me cry everytime I hear it

[MegaSdavidson]

I shoveled the dirt on the old man's casket a little over a year ago. One of the last country boys!!! God bless the U.S.A and rural America 🇺🇸!!!

I lived in Round Rock Tx. I loved it. Signed, a Native American from Minnesota. I miss the South and all the wonderful, loving people. Thanx, Ya' All.
I was carrying out groceries for a company called H.E.B. I carried the groceries for these small elderly lady, she said, "You are so kind and polite, where are you from?" I said, "Thank You, Minnesota." The lovely lady said, "Ya' damn Yankee." I said, " Yes Ma'am." and left it at that. Love Austin. m

The absolute silience of the crowd should speak volumes to everyone on how powerful this song

[patriciajrs]

This song used to make me cry. The fact that people can just walk on by and not care, is a reality that is beyond me. Where is the milk of human kindness, and the measure of human decency?

[girlwithattitude]

What a beautifully written and preformed song... Dwight is simply Amazing.... the emotion in his voice is so endearing.... Love Love Love Dwight!!!!

[goat]

This goes out to my friend Stanley who always played every Dwight Yoakum song on the jukebox 58 is just to young to die. So we'll sing Dixie one last time tonight.

[flippindocks]

One of the best damn country music songs EVER.

[kurtmiller]

I’m always talking about Merle, George Jones, Hank Jr and Sr, King George Strait as the greatest country voices and I forget Dwight but this dude should not be forgotten and he belongs in the Pantheon of the greatest country vocalists of all time.

[shadseger]

His words come from what he's seen before.its a sad and true song done perfectly.

[Jsd]

Such a melodic voice that can go up and down the range easily.

[hw]

My dad died unexpectedly in my arms at the age of 63.

I wish I could sing this song as I have a fairly descent singing voice but I can’t make it through the first stanza without losing my voice and having to purse my lips...it hits home.

[hayesrutherford]

"way down yonder in the land of cotton, old times there ain't near as rotten as they are, on this damned old LA street" so true.

[peteroberts]

Just dedicated this to my Dad who died suddenly when I was just 11 years old, love you and miss you everyday, 40 years ago, seems like yesterday.

[jongalleog]

I seen dewite live 3 times the man was nothing less than pure talent and far underated as a pure country singer !!!

[michaelcookson]

TOTALLY LOVE THIS SONG- however while it is tremendous when Dwight sings it solo, there is something special when you hear the fiddle accompanying this great song.

[kathysippl]

People don't realize how perfect his voice is. No gimmicks, back up vocals, back up tracks.
