Dwight Yoakam’s new album……

[gollumcat]

Is out and it’s really good. Called “Brighter Days “.

I know we have some Dwight fans on here.

I tried to link to Spotify but failed. Apologies.

Not really a fan, but helping OP out:

Love me some Dwight, KY to Ohio to Bakersfield, have seen him 3 times.and he never disappoints...

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Saw him this summer at Railbird and he almost died on stage

Loved the 3 Pears album and some songs on the one after that. Will check out the new one but heard the title track and thought it was just so so

tracks 2-5-7-10-13 are the best imo.

My favorite is his cover of Keep On The Sunnyside. A rollicking, fun version.

Actually I think I have heard Wide Open Heart

Had no idea that he is KY's highest grossing artist (or something similar, highest selling). Saw it on a map of the highest grossing artist from each state.

I just know him as as the Pastor from Four Christmases.

You are dating yourself but I remember Yocums. Corner of Waller and Limestone?

We love Dwight. We saw him at The Amp at Logstill July 2023 and it was a heck of a show. Still had his signature moves.

Yes. It was still standing when I was at UK, but looked pretty decrepit.

How many takes did this take while Dwight was trying not to crack up

 

[BC_Wader]

I need a Chicken Champ tee shirt. I've seen some that say "I play cards with JD Shellnut". Oh Doyle Hargreaves. Dwight played a good part in that movie.

I vote for If Only, would have fit in fine on 3 Pears

It's better than 99% of the new stuff that floods the country genre.

 

[Tskware]

Some of the older artists still have it. Lucinda Williams' album Rock N Roll Heart has some great stuff on it. And she wrote and recorded it after suffering a stroke. Saw her at the Kentucky Theatre this summer, and although she can pretty much only stand and sing (no guitar playing), she was in fine form.

The Lucinda/Springsteen duet “Rock and Roll Heart” should be banned…terrible song!
