Excellent Country with a touch of Rockabilly.
BMT PREZACTLY!!! He said once he was heavily influenced by both Buck Owen & Elvis Presley. Definitely one of my favorites. And he’s credited with giving Buck Owens a second career later in life. His live shows were awesome back when Pete Anderson was still his lead guitar player and Producer. Pet played a mean Telecaster and also co-wrote quite a few of Dwight’s biggest hits. Got to meet several of his band members once after a concert. Nice guys all. A touch of Tejano. Yep. He e had ole Flaco Jiménez play on a few of his tunes. Great stuff, Roger! I’ll bet I haven’t heard Flaco Jimenez’ name in 20 years or more! Was his birthday yesterday.85 yrs old

Yoakam accompanied Sharon Stone as her date to the 1992 Academy Awards in Los Angeles, California, wearing his signature cowboy hat. But things didn't end well for the couple and they called it quits shortly after. Yoakam kept quiet on his relationship with the starlet, but Stone had no problem telling everyone that kissing Yoakam was like a "dirt sandwich."Their brief affair was over almost as quickly as it had started.

He played a show where I work almost 20 years ago. He arrived on his own bus, wasn't travelling with his band. Arrived at last minute, got off the bus, played, got back on the bus and was gone. His bus driver holding doors for him, came across as arrogant. Not much of a fan.
