Dwight Yoakam ~ I'm a Lonesome Fugitive

[@ustheserfs]

Dwight is the living connection between country's glorious past and present, keeping it rooted to that sacred ground.

I've always loved Yoakam... Old school . It doesn't get any better.

I was playing at war in Africa but enjoying some down time when I ran into a Brit corporal who actually picked up a guitar and taught me this song. I'd had no idea how big country was in the UK.

Dwight Yoakam, with his outstanding band led by legendary guitarist Pete Anderson, hit the scene in 1986, and quickly became the top act in country music.

This is life in a song

Love it!

I enjoyed the story behind the song ... glad he took the time to tell it. The only thing I would take issue with is saying their daughter, Lynn Anderson, "went on to some acclaim in country music." Kind of like saying Tammy Wynette was a somewhat famous country singer. Lynn Anderson went on to massive "acclaim" in country music. She was a huge country star and now considered an icon of the genre. I'd venture to say she went on to as much (likely more) "acclaim" as Dwight. She had more success on the Billboard singles chart than Dwight. Words matter. And, I say this as a fan of Dwight and his music.
