Meet the title cut from Dwight Yoakam’s first original album in seven years.
Do I detect a slight Springsteen melodic undertone? Maybe. Great tune from a strong album, one of his best.

Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

My brother, the chief of police, plays cards with a guy who looks just like him.

Has a strong Mavericks feel too (saw them in Athens in the mid-late90s – great show…)

DY has been one of my favorites for years.
But I have to say I was disappointed when I saw him live for the first time a few years ago in a metro Atlanta country dance club. He looked disinterested on stage and did not interact with the fans at all. His lack of stage presence that night was apparent. Maybe it was a bad night for him, but I felt like I had wasted my money.

If you’re talking about the show at Cowboy’s I agree. That was an off night though and that place is awful.

That was it.
I agree it’s not as good a live venue as Wild Bill’s, but he still wasn’t very good.

After 25 years of hitting it big, Dwight continues to put out interesting material. Not ground breaking, but very well done and not seeking to tap into any obvious contemporary trends or genre. It would be good to see him find an audience for what is some really good work.

Used to debate with my Lexington Rd. roomates back in ’85 or ’86 who was better Dwight or Steve Earle. I love the both, but I just really loved Yoakum’s take on updating the sound of “country” music. It’s not wholly unique, but it is his own style. “The Back of Your Hand” plays in a steady rotation at our pad. Great stuff.

Both great artists…. but I gotta take Steve Earle. He was a big Townes Van Zandt fan like me. Liked that flavor.
