Dwight Yoakam - Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues

[@UtzChips2009]

I don't care for country music. Never bought a C&W album. Then I had no choice but to escort my wife to a Brooks & Dunn concert & Dwight opened up for them. I was as impressed as when I saw Tina Turner. He knows how to entertain!

[@stevoschannel4127]

Play around you lose your wife, play to long you lose your life...what a great line and so true

[@davidstapleford8090]

I almost lived this line.

[@pamspeer7255]

Man that man can sing.

[@acepicardify]

Dwight continues to be a classic in his own time. A genius. He takes a 45 year old staple recorded by dang near everybody and makes it his own thing. Listening to him is like listening to it for the first time.

[@JBCo2012]

Bernie Bennett everything you say is true BUT you neglected the singer songwriter who WROTE THIS TUNE, the EXCELLENT Danny O’Keefe who did the BEST VERSION by far. Now, I feel better.

[@sylviacrouch8073]

Loved the Elvis version but this one is great. Nothing like the original tho

[@dave11222]

I'd say this is showing a hell of alot of respect to Dannie O'Keefe.

[@brianwilliams9791]

Yeah, I agree he's got it right more than most.

[@cleanslate2004]

Beautiful rendition of a great song by a wonderful artist.

[@dennisholland649]

Dwight gives this beautifully crafted song the Bakersfield treatment and it's a perfect fit - one of the best versions out there...

[@TheEldoradoKid]

If anybody can pull off a good cover of this song, it's Dwight. The man rarely disapoints and this is no exception. In his own Bakersfield hillbilly moanin' way, he still manages to evoke the feel of the original, even with his ever so slight inflection changes. Its the mark of a true artist who take a pure melancholy song like this original by Danny O'Keefe, and make it his own. Dwight Yoakam is vastly under-rated in this regard.

[@kathygreen8058]

I love everything Dwight sings. He is awesome!

[@markbaggett3111]

Kathy Green he sounds like he needs to shit

[@donquixote2u]

my favourite Yoakam song, Dwights voice suits this song perfectly.

[@juliawhiteside9262]

Yes Dwight is The Most Talented Country Music Singer Ever!

[@wheelmanstan]

johnny cash said he was his favorite

[@Bumper_jed]

most talented feet

[@kaykay1265]

Just found this...I'm a die hard DY fan. Love everything he sings but...this he takes you there. And like many others he sings. That's what sets him apart from ALL others.

[@lottawork631]

This one should have been released as a single.....love it!

[@christopherallen9580]

Love Dwight's rendition!

[@BillGarner-vn1sx]

How about his cover of 1000 miles from nowhere

[@ToddFColeman]

Dwight's Martin Acoustic Guitar makes this version my favorite... Its so distinctively crisp and powerful.

[@gotrox1]

1967-Danny O'Keefe, originally wrote and recorded it. It is definitely a classic.

[@terrizosia]

He's the only artist I can watch over and over.

[@jtma65]

I grew up listening to this song. I've loved it for a long time. Dwight does a great job on it.

[@denisemills2035]

Love Dwight ❤

[@CowanVostof]

I think this is one of those rare songs nobody could trash. Been done by the greats Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Leon Russel, and the one I grew up on Charlie Rich and I have yet to hear a bad version.

[@slinginguitarman]

dwight is one of the few who never changed,never compromised who he was,to me, that makes him an ARTIST,Trashville,[and what it should be called nowadays,]is full of singers,but very,very few ARTIST,DWIGHT tried trashville but they didnt get it, so he went to LA and became a friggin LEGEND,I dont understand why, but that seems backwards to me,anyways that was in the 80s,but nothings changed,there aint much country music in the country music capital anymore,just my two cents worth.

[@rebeccacarter2924]

That hillbilly accent I hear it everyday right home in KY. He might have grown up in Ohio but his home that sound was flourishing. God bless him n his.

[@josealatorre5301]

By far my favorite version ☺️ of this song.Dwight knocks this song out of the park!

[@jakeseyes]

Dwight is just plain incredible!! He is unique and absolutely amazing, he can sing anything! And does it so well! Thanks for the post.

[@suegrabowski7264]

Great singer

[@yoakamfan92]

Dwights still the greatest country singer even after all these Years. The king lives on!!!

[@FonkyLynx]

Dwight has that special SOMETHING...one of my favs...BR

[@ronalddonaldson3364]

Great version

[@carolynmccloskey7314]

This acoustic version is so much better than his earlier recording. Sounds like he has learned more about life. He puts do much emotion into his singing. Great song, great voice, great video!

[@JaNaBeMa]

Thanks so much for posting this clip. Great sounds from Dwight, as always!

[@SentimentalMe69]

[@pappyc672]

I saw Dwight a few years back in North Carolina and he sang this song, it was awesome!!

[@beulahland59]

I wish some of the singers that pass for country in Nashville these days would take a listen to this guy. He is great.

[@Rick123691]

He can TEAR SOME OF THIS UP ! :-)

[@yvanlachance8269]

Great, great, great song! Love it! Thanks for re-doing this classic, Dwight.

[@guitaaress]

Eddie Perez on a Gretsch is sublime on this

[@avdreader1]

Hard to beat the orig by Danny O'Keefe. Just something about the pureness in Danny's original. Always good to listen to different versions...thanx to KZbin....

[@marfie53]

A great version of a great song by one of America’s greatest, Mr Danny O’Keefe.

[@BigWheelHawaii]

Aloha All,,, What a great talent, we are all so lucky to have him... Just a great talent, and in my book, a good to great actor also... Big

[@08saywhat]

[@marcyefrailey1440]

Dwight sings this song beautifully! No if, and, or buts about it!!

[@meeegashie]

[@sallybrown4542]

Love, love, love Dwight!!!!!

[@jacksenna]

So agreed. You don't have to listen too long - Dwight Yoakam is great!

[@sincitymusic]

Oh my gosh it's Mac Brazel. We love you from Vegas!

[@skrue68]

@slinginguitarman I totaly agree with U, Nashville has lost it's countyspirit looong time ago.... Dwight is one of the few Country-artists that will be remembered forever! Thumbs up from Norway :o)

[@dolphsavage]

Mr. Yoakam, I thank you. Not just once but many times in my life, you've made the fucking difference, sir.

[@bonnieopp6349]

i married this man in sooooooooooo many songs & videos .... love Dwight Yoakam

[@JesseWright68]

He's such a great singer.

[@xXvuduchildXx]

Dwight played this last weekend in Fresno and it kicked ass!

[@1004307]

The best version I ever herd thanks Dwight

[@louiserawle8999]

Love it..love Dwight

[@ToddPfeiffer]

I concur Dolph Savage. Thanks, Dwight for being the go to thing in my life. I do so prefer the older stuff, talking about kin, sin, hope, and the appropriately intense dose of revenge. I'm still giving 3 pears a chance, but I've never had to work so hard to like your work.

[@502BICE]

Waylon knocks this song out of the park !

[@joeknowz4898]

I heard this song last night.. now Im finding everyone else who did it ...they are all great....

[@texastexas8215]

Yes Dwight. You do know how to sing the blues... "Some gotta win and some gotta lose..." I just lost and it is somewhat comforting to hear your voice and words...

[@lizzywease1623]

Love that song

[@frankmalfitano282]

One of the all-time great songs by the underrated Danny O'Keefe. Love Dwight, especially when Chelsea Williams is his opening act!

[@dennismp]

@MrCharlesDog ----You nailed it. Could not have said it better: The original is soulful, classic country.

[@jimmyboswell2617]

Dwight was born to sing this song.

[@jamesgreen8112]

Best version I've heard

[@CooManTunes]

I agree. It really hits home with his life.

[@kenvee9446]

Nice homage to the original!

[@eric72265]

I think he went back to Bakersfield & hooked up with Buck Owens, but none the less he is a true ARTIST as you stated. My favorite is "She Wore Red Dresses, & then "I Sang Dixie". I love all of his music.

[@rockymountainrose8189]

Have always loved this song by Charlie Rich. I love Dwight's version.

[@user-jr5bg4ov8j]

[@LamarFine]

One of the best versions of this song... right up there with Leon Russell

[@michaelstorm2165]

Dwight's unique take is very enjoyable 😎🐈

[@LoquaciousByNature]

I do love the original Danny O'Keefe, but Dwight does do it justice. He definitely conveys 'Charlie's' blues in the song:)

[@snicker9400]

[@jzmitch]

[@ElenaOrtiz-m4i]

[@randikash]

Gorgeous... thanks!

[@pinapp1]

Hey! That's it! You got it! I never could quite place what other song this one reminded me of, but you nailed it. Astute observation. Thanks.

[@tiredlawdog]

I can't help but think of him in Sling Blade everytime I see him. He was one foul man.

[@stevoschannel4127]

tiredlawdog I was just thinking about that, why would he take such a part?
