I love Dwight Yoakam's music!! His voice never changes. What I really miss is his smiles. -- especially when he was making his sexy movements❤ He has always been a handsome man --and like a fine wine, he is aging to perfection. At 67, his energy and enthusiasm are ❤amazing plus he is still downright sexy!! No one else can wear his jeans like that and they still fit just right!! amazing! just wish he would smile more!!❤

This is first on my playlist, every day. This version just brings this song, to a new level. Dwight, just such a massive talent. Anything he does, Luv Luv him. Acting, writing, singing. God even interviews, He stands alone. In my estimation, He is the best ever. Love from Ireland, to all you Dwight fans. 🇮🇪💚

So did Buck Owens.

No doubt about it. That Bakersfield sound is something that lives in my soul.

The guy playing the mandolin, I loved his harmony with Dwight. I've like Dwight for a LONG time. Great rendition of this Beach Boys sing.

[@josephtreesh1080]

Ma'am that is a really hip gentleman playing mandolin. His name is Eugene Edwards and hes been with Mr Yoakam quite a few years now. Amazing musician amazong person. Wife and I met him in Nashville the day after a Friday night Dwight Yoakam show at the Ryman. Bumped in to him at a retro country apparel shop called Katie K's. Been friends ever since. Eugene is aces...

I agree with you about the mandolin player. He really sold it when he’d go do do do do. Dwight made it really country when he sang “ this here’s the worst trip I’ve ever been on”. Can’t get enough of this performance.

You said it he is underrated as a performer. This is a beautiful song by the Beach boys but Dwight took it to another level sheer genius.
