[@jenna-rosa7251]

So happy to see Dwight Yoakam getting some attention.... He has some great songs....

[@louiserawle8999]

Sensational and unique talent.❤❤❤❤❤

[@stephanieosadchuk5689]

He has so many hits! “Streets of Bakersfield,””Guitars, Cadillacs,” and “Little Sister” are my top 3.

[@andrewmacleod3308]

Things change, late great golden state and aint that lonely yet my favourite 3!! But not mad at any of his songs!

[@sherrycoley4840]

90s country was the best. I love it!!

[@melissameyer9981]

He is a showman and love this song.

[@pinky2245]

I love Dwight Yoakam! He has some fantastic songs: Fast As You, It Only Hurts Me When I Cry, Pocket of a Clown, and Two Doors Down are all really good ones! He writes most of his own songs.

[@TexasMagnolia]

Dwight is an Artist that I own every CD ever released. Not one bad song!!

[@caiqueparrot4081]

My mom's favorite singer. ♥️ RIP

[@stacy4823]

I think you hit the nail on the head about the 90's being a great period for country music. That is when I started liking country music. The early stuff never grabbed me, and I just can't listen to radio with what passes for country music now days. I had forgotten about this gem from Dwight Yoakam. I will be adding it to the new music I was putting on my iPod. He has a lot of great songs. I few of my favorites were "Guitars, Cadillacs", "Ain't That Lonely Yet" and "Fast As You".

[@tinakeith5822]

I love Dwight!!!! Those tight jeans or leather pants!!!! And those sexy dance moves that he has!!! Little Sister (Elvis cover) Fast as you I sang Dixie Act Naturally Crazy little thing called love Suspicious minds (Elvis cover) Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose It only hurts when I cry

[@lanatrapp1589]

Dwight is awesome and I love this song. He's great in concert.

[@suzanneh.3822]

My favorite song by him. Love it

[@katm4335]

Yes sir! This brings back so many memories, Dwight has a great voice with that twangy yodel that pops in. And no man can move his hips in tight jeans like Dwight. He and Buck Owens did great things together.

[@jewls9697]

Agreed, except Luke Bryan might give him a run for his money on dancing in tight jeans!! lol

[@rachellivermore1918]

Ahhh Buck Owens! Another great one! He and Dwight were really good friends.

[@lindaschultz7900]

I danced to this song with my now ex boyfriend of 16 years. What Memories! That day was the first time I ever heard . . " A thousand miles away." I still love that song!❤

[@katm4335]

@@jewls9697 Dwight did an interview last year for something and the lady reporter asked him if he could still "swivel" like he used to and he proved he could! lol

[@katm4335]

@@lindaschultz7900 CMT was generally on over the weekends, back in '93 when they used to just play music vids non-stop, while I was cleaning or chasing my 3 yr old around, and that video was on over and over all day when it came out. I still catch it when I put the '90's Country channel on KZbin when I just want good ole country music to play. ❤

[@elainevigil6128]

Dwight is a Legend for sure and yes, you pronounced his last name correctly. Not a bad actor either (he has been in a few movies). I picture your toes tapping to the beat to go along with your head nods. Great reaction. Thank you.

[@donnawilliams4148]

I agree and as for his acting I love sling blade. He was good at playing the bad guy.

[@trudywolfe2795]

Dwight sings with a twang thats impossible not to like. ❤❤❤❤

[@susaniserhoff9361]

I love Dwight, had the privilege to see him live and he was fantastic 🤩

[@TheDancingOutlawJescoWhite]

Streets of Bakersfield and guitars and Cadillacs ! I had a part in a movie with Dwight. He’s such a cool guy!!

[@ramonacabral3586]

He's the most amazing talented singer all his songs are phenomenal and top it off he's so gorgeous 🥰

[@lisaldeene]

He has a lot of charisma and such a unique voice. The story is told that the split video was his cut vs. the producer's cut. Sadly, she died in one of the planes that hit the Twin Towers on 9-11 as they were just finishing this and he wanted to run them side by side side once he saw the footage. Cool story if it's true, but I've heard it from several different sources.

[@jadefire2817]

Dwight's a favorite! Definitely listen to "Buenos Nochas from a Lonely Room" (She Wore Red Dresses) where he has Spanish accordion player Flaco Jimenez on. Gorgeous and haunting.

[@carmelediaalexander1417]

Love Dwight and his guitar player!

[@rhondafonda957]

Seen him twice in concert. So talented, one of my all time favorite artists. Never heard a Dwight song I didn’t like. Great reaction!

[@billofalltrades2633]

What can I say Dwight's a an awesome artist, This is one of my favorite songs by him.

[@jimroe1081]

Long White Cadillac is a rocking country song by him!!

[@grahamlavers8128]

It was the " Middle" period 90`s that I really started listening to country music/ Dwight is what some people call the "Bakersfield" sound

[@jolenewitzel7919]

Dwight has a great catalog. Next do him singing Act Naturally with Buck Owens, or Streets of Bakersfield. You'll like them.

[@franpoirier1973]

Streets of Bakersfield !!

[@stephanieosadchuk5689]

Love both of those, and Buck Owens.

[@pageribe2399]

Bought his first EP and everything since. Brilliant songwriter and performer!

[@catwhisperer9489]

Oh, yeah, I LOVE "Act Naturally", with Buck Owens!!

[@zackplyler7919]

Dwight is awesome. His song "I sang Dixie" is one of my top ten songs for sure. Also, you are right about the traditional middle period of country in the 90s, BUT there are certainly more periods than three. It seems like every decade has it's competing factions within country music that are either more traditional in flavor or bordering on simply being pop with twang. Traditional story telling all the way!

[@jaq4608]

Glad to see this reaction. Dwight has a ton of great music!

[@michelleortega1514]

Dwight's one of my favorites.He is also an actor.He does a duet with his idol buck owens called streets of bakersfield.I think you would like it.

[@rachaelstacks1054]

He does a great rendition of Suspicious Minds

[@shellyjackson3887]

Love Dwight! He and I both "Walked The Streets of Bakersfield" back in the 80s! I had so much fun dancing to his music back then!! Please check out more Dwight! He is definitely the real deal!

[@vanessarupe2039]

“If There Was a Way” is one of his best! ✌🏻❤️

[@jamierigglehtd4life_CursedCrew]

I love Dwight Yoakum, his voice is so unique to me but my favorite of his is Streets of Bakersfield, you should give that a listen!!

[@kevinsmith4429]

Got to know Dwight working at Billy Bob's well over a 20 year period. Incredible talent unbelievable songwriter. He used to call me hippie because I had hair to my waist then . He told me to watch for him in some movie he'd made called "SLINGBLADE". If you want the full range on this guy ,you HAVE to play "SOUTH OF CINCINNATI".STUNNIG!

[@wheelmanstan]

dwight is one of a kind with his style, the elvis of country music, hell of an actor too, you gotta see "slingblade" johnny cash said he was his favorite artist at the time when asked

[@robertdedrick7937]

Dwight Yoakam, Fast as You, Guitars and Cadillacs . Chris Isaak, Baby did a Bad, Bad Thing, Can't do a thing to Stop Me Morgan Wallen, Sand in my Boots, Up Down

[@chrisfarnan4426]

Now you are playing the good shit! Dwight is a neo-traditionalist who was all about reviving the Bakersfield sound, (meaning Bakersfield CA) started by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. Buck Owens is considered Dwight Yoakums mentor and their collaborations are classics. Dwight is also a great character actor, check out Sling Blade... do more Dwight please.

[@emmef7970]

Dang, I forgot about that movie. Love all these legends & the movie.

[@mamaflush9945]

Dwight's mentor was Buck Owens. Now you've crossed over into Oklahoma and Arkansas, country music. They have their own unique sound. "Meryl Haggard " Okie from Muskogee" and "Buck Owens - Streets of Bakersfield" Johnny Cash all of these artists were in the same era. And your right , Dwight was the next Gen. that followed along with Vince Gill, Toby Keith, Allen Jackson, Garth Brooks. Mid to late 1980's and 90's Dwight even had some acting roles, and he was quite good. great reaction 🎸🔥🎶

[@kellymckinney9050]

Dwight has such a fantastic catalog of hits!

[@gerdbucher543]

my favourite singer songwriter......great voice... espacially....these theme you think right.... ride away and stay by yourself, find yourself

[@me21120]

Great cruising music!

[@franpoirier1973]

OH I was here for this one .....lol thanks , I just love his voice

[@danitaketchum9198]

Agreed, like the middle period. The soul of the older stuff with the up tempo of modern-day

Love to hear him sing and he sure can do justice to skin tight jeans 👖. Dwight was a 90s sensation. Check out Streets of Bakersfield with cousin Buck Owens.

[@cricketpitts3744]

Dwight is awesome!! Seen him live great show!! My favorite song is it won't hurt!!

[@debbiel.1655]

Yayyyyy!! some Dwight. One of the only country CD's I every bought.

[@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365]

His album "This TIme" is a perfect album. There's no way to detract or lessen the album. All strong tracks.

[@charleslively1714]

Always loved Dwight him and buck were great friends

[@jewls9697]

Dwight Yokum & Buck Owens (singer & Hee Haw) Streets of Bakersfield!! Dwight Yokum (Guitars, Cadillacs, Hillbilly Music! Buck Owens..Tiger by the Tail!!

[@TanyaSwartzbaugh]

HIs song 'Back Of Your Hand' is beautiful too. I played it on repeat one summer.

[@tomcarreno4437]

I agree, 90's country is the best!

[@shelleyparsons5735]

Please do more. I've searched & seen very few reactions to him & he was a favorite of mine. Definitely a style all his own.

[@hookstomper7322]

Dwight Yoakam's truly great. He just doesn't have any bad songs. Get around to "The Streets of Bakersfield", "Guitars, Cadillacs" & "Little Sister". As for today's "country" music...the same ol' shit about muddy pickup trucks, dirt roads, keggers & Daisy Dukes... I don't want to get started...:o)

[@edithmaxim2041]

Very unique voice.

[@ki11atj49]

I know exactly what you mean the 80s and 90s where the best is my favorite to listen to in country and since I grew up in the 2000s even 2000's country is pretty good once I hit 2010's it really became massively pop

[@lynnecurrie7561]

Ahhh....Dwight. The Bakersfield sound. There is so much more to explore with him. Great choice!

[@michellehughes4070]

Mr. Johnson's Love Is a great Dwight Yoakam Song.But there are so many!!! Reading, Writing, Route 23 is another. Sad Day In Floyd County, Dwight is from my home state of Kentucky! One of my all time favorites!!!

[@stacey021375]

I think the story about the video was that they had all this footage and gave it to two production companies to see what they came up with. The videos lined up perfectly, so they kept them both.

[@a13xxgrey12]

Hi, thanks for the video. I would like to see your reaction to the wonderful singer Diana Ankudinova. She is still young, but her performances amaze people from all over the world.

[@frankhamilton31]

Been a fan of Dwight's since 86'. The video is tricky. I believe it was Dwight's on one side and the video director was on the other side. she was a good friend of Dwight's that losses her life on 9/11.

[@msavage1558]

Within country music, this known as the Bakersfield Sound. Dwight is from Bakersfield, CA. Other artist adopted his sound.

[@christopherdavidson4382]

"I've got bruises on my memory I've got tearstains on my hands And in the mirror there's a vision of what used to be a man" One of the great lines ever written in this song here

[@leslie8743]

Funny you said it. I always play this song on my road trip playlist. Windows down and blaring loud. Thank you ❤ from Washington State

[@jewls9697]

Dwight Yokum & Buck Owens singing...Streets of Bakersfield!! Also Dwight...Little Sister!!

[@lawrencesmith6536]

The guitar work by Pete Anderson on this is just the best

[@debbieanderson9270]

Great reaction. This song makes you feel. Going to see him in about 6 weeks! Can't wait!

[@kevinsmith4429]

His version of Hank William's "HONKY TONK MAN " the freaking epitome of the music you just fell into. You asked for suggestions he's my all time favorite.

[@kcgirl7896]

I love him! Fast as you is great.

[@brendaisajiw3417]

He's one of my favorite Country singers and he has some pretty neat movements too. A great entertainer! I hope we can go along with you on more reactions of his music.

[@OnTheRocks71]

I think, if you're heartbroken or down, being a thousand miles from nowhere seems like a very good place to be.

[@MrNoonz54]

This is one of my all time favorites! It hits different, especially the second verse

[@erikawichman5655]

Love Dwight! I discovered him when I met my rancher husband, great memories. Thank you for this

[@shooter3083]

Check out Dwight at the funeral of Buck Owens. Beautiful and very emotional.

[@ymw6607]

He did a version of Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" that I actually like better than Queen's!! That one, Fast as You and Little Sister are my favorites of his! Thanks for this reaction

[@peggylamere2893]

Yes finally. You would absolutely love "streets of Bakersfield" a duet he does with the late Buck Owens.

[@judydavis7993]

You can play anything Dwight Yoakum and I'm there. Love his voice always . Try his original of "I Sang Dixie " but have tissues ready. Got to see him in concert a few years ago. He is still just as fantastic as he was when he was young. He also was a very good actor. If you ever saw The Panic Room, he was in that one. Thanks for this reaction. Yes 90's (my favorite) music always told a story you could relate too.✌❤

[@danielleonforte540]

Streets of Bakersfield oh yeah! a must!

[@planojag595]

I never grew up listening to nor paying any attention to country music but sometimes it’s all about timing. I found country when the time was right for me. I’m 49 now and got into country in 1993 when I was 21. I was driving and was just in the frame of mind to get lost in a song and the right one came on (All These Years by Sawyer Brown) and it stayed in my ears, my mind, and in my heart for days afterward until I had to buy the CD. That’s how it started for me. I love how country songs paint vivid pictures and that each one is its own story. You asked for some songs so please review/react to All These Years by Sawyer Brown; Not That Different by Collin Raye; Till I Was A Daddy Too by Tracy Lawrence; You’re Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins; One Of These Days by Tim McGraw; Matches by Sammy Kershaw; I’m Not Strong Enough To Say No by Blackhawk; If I Had Any Pride Left At All by John Berry; Ain't That Lonely Yet by Dwight Yoakam; Look Heart, No Hands by Randy Travis; and I Still Believe In You by Vince Gill. That, my friend, would give you a nice look at how great country music was, especially in the 90s (the best decade for this genre imo). Country tells it like it is and if there’s any emotion that you’re dealing with, this genre will bottle those feelings up and make music that will hopefully help you.

[@andrewmacleod3308]

Im from Birmingham uk and have loved Dwights music for years!! Also Brad Paisley, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks to name but a few. Each fantastic artists. Things change by Dwight is superb.

[@kylesummers1565]

Peace, Love!!

[@kylehern5132]

You DID say his name right! I was able to see Dwight live, and he's a fun performer! "Turn it on, turn it up, turn me loose" is my favorite song of his. However, I would love to see your reaction to some of his other stuff: "Pocket of a clown", "guitars and Cadillacs", "streets of Bakersfield"... My two favorite artists: Randy Travis and Merle Haggard. Merle is one of the classics and Randy is part of that middle era from the 90s that you talked about. So, I LOVE both eras. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@darkomtobia]

The Heart That You Own ...oh heck, ANY Dwight song is great, lol

[@willieboy3011]

I saw him in a small Arkansas town a few years ago. He really had a time on stage. Great show. Rockabilly. This song was one of my favorites years ago when I was many thousand miles from home.

[@luckylady7542]

Dwight and Buck Owens with their Bakersfield sound. Love Dwight. One of the better voices in country. Hes also an actor, although I could never recognize him when he took off his hat.😂🤣❤

[@carmelediaalexander1417]

Hell of a guitar player.

[@ShelbyFarrow]

Great guitar work in this song from the great Pete Anderson.

[@elliottberry5317]

A great selection and reaction. I've always loved this song. 👍👍

[@KansasDave1]

I also recommend “Streets of Bakersfield” with Buck Owens. Whenever a friend tells me they don’t like country music, I make.them watch the official video for “Fast As You”…and they become a fan.

[@xScooterAZx]

It's imagery,art,in the video.Jeez,..doesnt anyone remember when videos were filled with imagery?

[@RowdyRuth]

The Bakersfield sound is a sub-genre of country music. The were the first to embrace electrified instruments and add a back beat. “Things Change” is one of my favorites of Hhis, Thanks for checking him out. 🌎✌️

[@rachellivermore1918]

Dwight is awesome! You should also add Sawyer Brown to your list.

[@johndavidson5228]

Thanks much. You pronounced his name correctly. He's a singer and actor too. If you have any extra time, you should check out his performance in the Billy Bob Thornton movie Sling Blade.

[@DannyMarshall-z4o]

Excellent job Always live or Video 50s threw 80s 😊

[@gerdbucher543]

dwight is an movieactor, too...he played in panic room....as a one call

[@janicesimmons5272]

You should check Dwight singing at Buck Owens funeral - beautiful song!
