Member when he played Karl in String Blade?

“Life is like a box of chocolates, mmmmmm”

I drank beer while playing his great music so many times, I have cant even remember.

Pretty good actor too!

He wasn't Karl.
Billy Bob Thonton was Carl, the main character and a bit retarded.


And I'm sure it was spelled Carl.

Only smart Karls know how to spell the name












Karl
(Not from the movie)

Dork! lol

Somewhere there’s a version of this with him explaining how he came to right it. But basically it’s just as he sang it.

Seen him in a western

DeWhite Yolkham? Over easy in a cast iron skillet??

Excellent Country with a touch of Rockabilly.

BMT

Danced to this song many times.

He doesn't like overcooked fried eggs ether, Hogeye

I saw him in concert at a fair. Suzy Bogguss opened for him and had to play an extra hour and a half until Dwight sobered up enough to get on stage.

Once he was up there, he couldn't hardly stand, let alone sing.

It's spelled country.

Crystal Palace in Bakersfield a few times along with Buck pre Y2K

One of my all-time favs.


Interesting tidbit, we share the same pant size.


And I only know this because following a local concert one of his groupies told me that he loves to go pike fishing. I was on the Montana pike circuit that summer and even the groupies knew I was hell on pike.

Anywhoo, I take Dewhite pike fishing and he flat slayed the pike. Last cast of the day and he boats an 85lb pike that fought like hell. Dewhite chit his pants when he saw how big the pike was and of course I offered him my pants and he said they fit great.

Inside the postings of a clown...
How I feel in a Wabi thread.

Never found him to be particularly country.

His music is not bad though IMO. This one is from out there.

That’s some 79S level story telling right there.

Oh wow

That is funny, but I am sure you were not amused!

I never go to concerts, I prefer the CD's and no people, and all the beer I can drink without driving lol

Hope you put the shat stained britches on Ebay.

Saw him in concert last year. I was very impressed with him live.

Sammo you tell the bestest stories. Tell that one about the time you tricked Dewike into going noodlin for porcupines.

Me and mrs tore up tha rug we njoy his music

What did the rug du to deserve that?

So you let DeWight in your breeches?

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.

I was under the impression that Dwight was a vegan, and did not drink.

I also was also under the impression he was a very astute businessman.

I love me some Yoakum.

Yep. One of best of all the C&W concerts I’ve been to.

Here’s a couple of my favorites of his early stuff:

And a couple of Classic cover songs of other great artists by Dwight:

He made the Bakersfield sound mainstream.

Gitars adn Cabilacs, hillery museik

I can’t get enough of that Telecaster!

And a couple of great duets:

Dwight had a hairy lip


ARGGGGGHH

Yep. Ole Pete could flat tear that thing up!!!

One early concert I went to after his second album was released, Pete and the band played an hour of rockabilly before Dwight came out. They brought the house down.
Pete played a 1956 Telecaster into a 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp. Doesn’t get much bettter than that ! 👍🏻

Yep. He e had ole Flaco Jiménez play on a few of his tunes. Great stuff, Roger!

🤣🤣🤣

Stop fanaticizing about Men and head to the Gay Bar.
I’m sure they’re missing their local #1 F.aggot of Tennessee, tonight.

Karl split his skull wide open when he was Doyle on Swing Blade.

Called him a ambulance, or a hearst.

Turned it in to french fried P'tators! mmmmHmmmm

I'm pretty sure you are not serious but if you are you should have had it weighed as the current world record didn't break 60lbs

You ain't been to Taylors Falls, WI with Seafire, have ya boy?

Classic Scene! Dwight played the perfect Asswhole!

“You push 9….. 1…… 1” 😂

Never gave a schit for him, songs or stage presence. Nothing personal, as country music is just not my preference.

Then I heard a 1000 miles from nowhere. Youtube it 8 0r 10 times a year. Glad I can like something about a fellow Kentuckian.

That was a great Album too.

YOU TUNING SON OF A B*TCH!

I forgot about Dwight being from Kentucky.
Pretty much the birthplace of great Bluegrass Music.

IIRC, seems like Dwight’s dad owned his own Gas Station.

All the greats had their stage moments, I would love an extra hour of Suzy

LOL !

Oh Dwight, and TX Blues Guitarist Ian Moore must’ve really had to hate the band scenes for that movie, as good as both of them can really play the guitar.

down at Houston ,Texas at Billy Bob bar Dwight was the main attraction ladies went nuts when he played there. >watch a special about Dwight Yoakam they all said he had some of the best talent anyone had ever seen except he had booze and women problems. but dam could he sing !

He dated that Batschitt crazy skank Ho Sharon Stone for a while. Also Peter Fonda’s daughter Bridgette. 🤪

I can vouch this is a true story. I was their as well, couple of boats down fishing with Eddie Rabbitt who was pretty good at catching some fish. He saw Dwight chit his pants.

That would be hard to do since Eddie Rabbit’s DEAD.
And has been for 26 YEARS, now. 🤪

The Rabbit for the fish …

Saw DY in So-Cal a couple years ago with Chris Stapleton. Yoakam blew the doors off the place. Better than Stapleton, at least that night.

Always enjoyed him very much, one of my favorite artists. Saw him several years ago at the Royal Oak Music Theater in Michigan. He was terrible, couldn't sing that night.

This all took place back in 97, Eddie was about to start chemo therapy.

Dwight was from Betsy Layne Kentucky. His family moved to Columbus Ohio like a lot of people looking for work. He graduated from Columbus Northland High School.

Ron

Dwight ROCKS.

My brother was a big fan so we heard D white a lot. I always liked that twangy sound and my 2 favorites: He Sang Dixie (naturally; me being a southern boy) and A 1000 Miles from Nowhere. He did honor Buck with a second career.

Eddie rabbit holy schit

Was Tiffany a groupie, even way back then?

Tiff was a smoke show!



Her cousin Amber was just as hot and was a legendary dock girl on the 1998 NoDak Pike Circuit.

What become of amber?

We were all jet skiing and celebrating on my 50' luxury houseboat after I had won another Pike tournament when Tiffany came stumbling out of my bedroom asking where Amber went.

It was that moment when we realized she went into town to get more cigarettes.

🤣😂

Dewhite Yolkhand the Black egg Cracker at the Egg Nog plant?

Don’t get ur feathers ruffled dumfuk go find a link to post LOL

he also prayed a pretty good character in the movie The Newton boys..
you Texans should know where the Newton boys.

very successful bank robbers back in the late twenties and early 30s I believe it was
.

Like all his work, seen him several times; his recent albums "3 Pears" and "Second Hand Heart" are excellent.

I’ll bet I haven’t heard Flaco Jimenez’ name in 20 years or more!

Was his birthday yesterday.85 yrs old

Dang. I thought he was dead. 😬

my mistake his birthday is today, went back and checked on FB.

The Newton brothers came of age at Uvaldf Tx.

👍👍

I like at the end of that movie two of them boys was on the Johnny Carson show...

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.

LOL

I wasn't complaining. haha

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.

Well for him playing in Marquette was a thousand miles from nowhere....

I see what you did there.

You mean, "Sling Blade"....

Ain’t he Opies brother?


Hell of an actor, that fella.

Wow!
