A superb four-piece band helped him play a barrage of hits and well-chosen cover songs, too
Dwight Yoakam has a distinctive take on country music. He started building his career in Los Angeles, during the height of the urban cowboy craze in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Though everyone wanted to book country acts, his version, which he calls “hard country,” wasn’t always welcome
Before my daddy left this cruel world, he always said he was going to write a country song called Lord, Don't Let Me Die in Dalhart. He never got around to it.
But rather than make his affinity for Buck Owens, Merle Haggard or Ray Wylie Hubbard feel like an homage at arms length, Yoakam channeled the ghosts of Bakersfield and Nashville into something like a holy rolling revival.
