About Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam avatar

Dwight Yoakam has been both a successful solo artist since the mid-1980s, and an actor since the late 1990s. His sound has been described as a blend of honky-tonk, punk, and rockabilly. He grew up in an area of Kentucky that heavily influenced his musical style. After moving to Los Angeles in the early 1980s, Yoakam released twelve studio albums and charted more than thirty singles on the Billboard country singles charts, the most successful being "Ain't That Lonely Yet" and "Fast As You". He has also appeared in films such as Sling Blade, Wedding Crashers, and Four Christmases. His twelfth studio album, 3 Pears, was released in 2012. He is also an active philanthropist, regularly donating to charities such as Smile Train, Habitat for Humanity, and the Nature Conservancy.

Recent tour reviews

Dwight's show in Spartanburg SC was absolutely amazing. I saw him twice 20 years ago and both shows were awesome! Out of the 3 shows I must say this one was the best. After all these years his shows still have the same energy and great rock-a-billy his fans are accustomed to. If I didn't know better I would have thought someone sent him my playlist. The best part was that I got to share it with my wife & 2 sons. Even with the generation gap, my boys who are 20 & 17 had a great time and truly enjoyed it. If you are a fan of live music and you've never seen Dwight, do it! You won't regret it.

I’ve seen him six times in five in six different venues, twice at Viejas Casino. About three years ago or so my wife and I had front row tickets to see him at the North Park Conservatory Theatre and it was the best show of Dwights that I had ever seen.

Then came last nights show and it was simply amazing! There was a buzz in the crowd like when I recently saw The Steve Miller Band, another great show. The crowd was filled with die hard Dwight fans like me. And, everyone was expressing how good the show was. Dwight had noticeably more energy than ever and his voice was the usual....sweet music... like the first time I heard him! His show was filled with new and timeless songs and even a tribute to the great Merle.

If you’re a fan of country music it doesn’t get any more pure than this! Excellent Show!

I have attended many performances at the Crystal Grand Music Theater and have been extremely happy with the shows. This is not the case with the Dwight Yoakkam show. Dwight was who he should be. One of the great all time performs in the likes of Meryl, Waylon and others of that era. Unfortunately, the producers must have decided that the audience was deaf as they turned the amps and speakers up to unlistenable volumes. You could not hear the vocals, there was no distinction sound between the instruments and given the fast pace of the performance, one song sounded like all of the rest of the songs. Just loud, distinguishing noise coming from the stage. I will think twice about attending future concerts at the Crystal Grand if the producers continue to think that loud noise is better than music.

IT’S A DIFFERENT COUNTRY – DWIGHT YOAKAM PLAYS THE ANTI-GARTH FOR WIND BACK WEDNESDAY

dwight yoakam tour australia

Having been immersed in recent weeks in not just the long story of country music but the more recent and genre-redefining times of Garth Brooks , who for some of us almost killed the pleasure in country during the 1990s, it seemed appropriate to rediscover one of those who kept country alive and exciting.

In this 2012 interview, Dwight Yoakam talks past and future, 3 Pears and two-steps, and why Emmylou matters more.

Dwight Yoakam’s office sits high up in a typical glass-and-steel corporate tower on Sunset Boulevard, with a view which can make him sigh with pleasure at the unexpected beauty of this not always attractive city. "Look at downtown, look at the light huh,” he interrupts at one point, eyes lighting up. “LA sometimes reminds me of Sydney in terms of the light and how it refracts at times of the year.”

But down the uniformly bland hall from the uniformly ordinary lifts of this otherwise indistinguishable building, his rooms have cowhide lounges, a well-preserved saddle in a corner, big leather chairs and pre-World War II wooden furniture. Homely, earthy even, and kind of old fashioned.

That sounds about right for one of the biggest country music stars of the ‘80s and ‘90s and one of a handful of people who can legitimately be described as game changers. No, not just for the resurrection of the big hat and tight jeans as the uniform for any male country singer – something which will be obvious during his November tour of Australia where he’ll be supported by that big hat/tight jean wearer, Lee Kernaghan. But also for the return of white America's soul music to the upper reaches of the charts and the centre of music industry spreadsheets

However, look around the office and there’s plenty to remind you that Yoakam, despite his status – and being named Dwight David Yoakam, after a quintessential American hero of the 20th century, president Dwight David Eisenhower - has never quite fit the cliches of that most conservative strand of American music.

There’s the fact we’re not in Nashville but in Los Angeles (where the Kentucky-born Yoakam has lived for more than 30 years) and that throughout the rooms are artefacts and memorabilia of ‘60s pop and posters from the films in which he's acted.

A gig poster on the back of one door gives you a sense of how Yoakam really didn't fit the mould, ever. It's for a show in Amsterdam in the early ‘90s and his support act is fellow Los Angelenos Concrete Blonde, indie rockers who were as likely to play country music as they were to vote Republican.

The truth is that what Yoakam called hillbilly music, his boisterous mix of the high and lonesome Appalachians and the big twanging, honky tonk of the Bakersfield sound of one of his heroes, Buck Owens, have always been just a little bit too country for the establishment.

When the Nashville nabobs saw just how much more money could be made with “country music” which sounded more and more like pop and rock, they found the likes of Yoakam and Emmylou Harris, like the ‘70s “outlaws” Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, a tad embarrassing.

"Ironically, Willie and Emmylou in their attitude were so removed from mainstream country music that they had more in common with rock audiences and rock musicians,” Yoakam says admiringly.

That’s why, even when he was at his commercial peak selling 25 million albums, Yoakam remained an outsider, more likely to be admired by fans who crossed over to explore rock’s roots in country music, than those who claimed to like “both kinds of music: country and western”.

He says that’s partly down to location as “I'm as physically removed from [Nashville] as you can go without swimming”. It’s more than distance though, it’s also attitudinal.

Having begun his LA life playing alongside the underground bands and so-called cowpunks like the Blasters, after growing up a Beatles, Byrds, Beach Boys and Burrito Brothers fan, he has never wanted to be constricted.

"I made a decision in the ‘70s, after going to Nashville and exploring what the world was there, that that wasn't where I would find my way,” says Yoakam who today is without his hat, his thin grey hair hanging long at the back but pretty sparse across the top. “I’d been drawn sonically here in an immediate sense by Emmylou Harris because I’d watched in college the beacon that Emmylou Harris was from the west coast, from this outpost, making this pertinent, contemporary version of country music. Hers was more pure country than country rock but it didn’t have boundaries.”

You could say much the same thing about Yoakam's new album, his first studio album in seven years, called 3 Pears . It’s got high vocals and near-yodels, drums with snap and guitars with big open sky sounds. It’s more country in a few minutes than, say, Keith Urban has been in 15 years.

But there’s also a song co-written with former rock rapper turned roots act Kid Rock, another he calls “very cow punk, aggressive”, produced by Beck (“I said to him later we may have married the Stones’ Last Time meeting up with Johnny Cash somewhere out there in space”), splashes of soul music and several tracks with harmonies he attributes to channelling the Beatles channelling the Everly Brothers.

“I was born in Pike Country, Kentucky, right against the border of Grundy, Virginia where the Carter Family came from. Ralph Stanley, the Stanley Brothers [were from nearby too],” Yoakam says.

“I received the blessing in being born into a time and place where I was able to be imprinted with the richness of the cultural heritage But I'm marrying a lot of the car radio that's in my head, my mind's ear, with this moment in the 21st-century where I am right now. The future is where I've arrived at."

DWIGHT YOAKAM

Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, and he is a 21-time nominated, multiple GRAMMY Award winner. He has 12 gold albums and 9 platinum or multi-platinum albums, with five of those albums topping Billboard’s Country Albums chart and another 14 landing in the Top 10. Nearly 40 of Yoakam’s singles have charted on Billboard, with 14 peaking in the Top 10. Yoakam is a recipient of the Artist of the Year award from the Americana Music Association, and BMI Country Music’s President’s Award, the most prestigious award offered by the organizations. He was also inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in the Songwriter/Artist category at the 49th anniversary Gala in 2019 in Nashville, TN.

Yoakam’s self-curated SiriusXM channel, titled Dwight Yoakam and The Bakersfield Beat ‘Where Country Went Mod’ launched in April of 2018. The channel celebrates the Bakersfield sound and those whom it has inspired. Guests have boasted the likes of Post Malone, Lukas Nelson, Beck, Chris Hillman, Jakob Dylan, Mike Nesmith and Mickey Dolans, Dave Alvin, and Jackie DeShannon, among others.

In 2016, Yoakam released his bluegrass album  Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars …  on Sugar Hill Records. Featuring a band of bluegrass luminaries, this album boasts a collection of reinterpreted favorites from his catalogue, as well as a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain”. Produced by nine-time GRAMMY winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton), Jon Randall (songwriter of “Whiskey Lullaby”), and Yoakam himself, and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, this album reflects the love for bluegrass music that Yoakam developed at an early age in Kentucky and that has inspired him for many years thereafter. In 2018, Yoakam released two songs, “Pretty Horses” and “Then Came Monday” (the latter written with Chris Stapleton).

In addition to his musical career, Yoakam is a formidable film and television actor who has appeared in over 40 feature films, including  Sling Blade  and  Panic Room . In 2016, he recurred in David E. Kelley’s Amazon series  Goliath . Recently, he appeared in director Steven Soderbergh’s film  Logan Lucky  with Channing Tatum and Daniel Craig. Yoakam is capable of seamlessly melting into his roles and impressively standing toe-to-toe with some of the world’s top thespians over the course of his storied and successful acting career, including Jodie Foster, Tommy Lee Jones, Jared Leto, Forest Whitaker and Matthew McConaughey.

THE MAVERICKS

Any band that manages to survive three decades, seeing its core members go from young adults to veteran musicians is bound to have its swings and cycles.

The Mavericks, the eclectic rock and country group known for crisscrossing musical boundaries with abandon, has gone through three distinct phases since it was founded in Miami in 1989. An initial period of heady success marked by big hits and critical acclaim in the ‘90s. A long hiatus starting 2003 when the musicians each went their own way. And finally, a triumphant reunion in 2012 which held long enough for them to recently celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary.

Now, The Mavericks are releasing a new album that ushers in the fourth phase of their evolution. 

“It’s like we’ve had three different lives,” says Raul Malo, the band’s lead singer and songwriter, “and now this is a whole new beginning. We’re sort of going into uncharted territory. I’m looking forward to it and I’m kind of nervous about it too. It’s certainly a new adventure.”

On August 21, The Mavericks officially launch that adventure with the debut of their first-ever, all-Spanish album, released on the band’s own Mono Mundo label. Entitled simply En Español, it is produced by Malo and the band’s long-time collaborator Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Prince, Sheryl Crow). The line-up includes Malo’s fellow Miamian and charter bandmember, Paul Deakin on drums and vibraphone, as well as veteran Jerry Dale McFadden, who joined in 1993. Eddie Perez, a Mexican American guitarist from Los Angeles, is the band’s youngest and newest member, becoming a Maverick in 2003.
