This is my favorite Dwight song. It makes me think of my older brother who lived the last 10 years or so of his life homeless. While living in the streets in another state he discovered that he was dying from cancer, he contacted our daddy and, ultimately, he told me that he wanted to come home. Home to Mississippi (a/k/a Dixie). I got him back home and he closed his ol’ blue eyes one final time three weeks later.
What a moving story. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing. Listening to the song and thinking of you and your brother is so poignant. I'm so glad you got him home and he passed with someone who loved him.
That Austin City Limits performance is some of Dwight’s best work in my opinion. Plus, many of the songs in that session(Buenos Noches) feature one of the most talented of the great state of Texas- Flaco Jiminez! He’s amazing. This song, I’ve read, was written by Dwight after a trip to LA where he “saw things that disturbed him greatly”- I can only imagine…
Dwight is underrated as a songwriter! This depicts he and his brother witnessing a death on the streets of LA, and no one cared. All for a Dwight Marathon! You’ve not hit his 90’s stuff yet.
P.J. you are so right. Dwight can go from Honky-tonk Man to I Sang Dixie. He is so versatile. Like so many artists that could be so relevant the Nashville Machine will not support them. They still tour because we the fans still love them. Thank you for this reaction, excellent as always.
I would be one of those happy people if we heard one of his performances each day. I have seen him a few times, and each was great. I love to see him getting recognition.
Dwight's been one of my favorite artists since his debut in 1986. Some of my favorite DY songs..."Blame the Vain"..."Train in Vain" (Clash cover)..."The Last Time" (Rolling Stones cover)..."Nothing"..."Johnson's Love"..."Lonesome Roads"... Miner's Prayer"... Population Me"..."If Teardrops Were Diamonds (duet with Willie)..."It's Never Alright"..."A Thousand Miles from Nowhere".... I'll stop there in the interest of space. Dwight is known as one of the most intelligent and generous performers in the music industry. He pays his band very well and when he stays in fancy hotels, so do they.
He,Chris Stapleton and Patty Loveless put on a show in Rupp Arena for the flood victims in eastern Kentucky. Stapleton and Patty did You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive at the CMA award show. Dwight has a great voice. Some are surprised that Chris Stapleton is from eastern Kentucky. He's from Johnson County, Loretta Lynn country.
In an interview I watched, Dwight said he was "out on the town" in LA with his bother and they came upon a very upsetting scene. He didn't go into detail but said he went home that night and wrote this song as a way to process and cope. His nasal style of singing owes much to the "mountain singing" common in the Appalachian mountains. He spent years working out of LA and by all accounts had a very good time. He was linked to dating starlets such as Sharon Stone and Bridget Fonda.
a new one to me. what a heart tugger. dwight yoakam is quite a storyteller isn't he? glad you are enjoying his music. his vibrato is wonderful to convey his tunes. you pick up quickly where real talent is and i think your reactions are enjoyable!
So good Dwight my sister-in-law she’s not with us anymore, but her name is Charlotte her and your mother worked together. They were good friends her her name was Charlotte
Omg. What is NOT. to love about Dwight, Such talent, is there nothing this man, cannot do. I Love him, always have, always will. Pgod, for many more years. I find it really difficult to understand. How the Hell, Nashville, let him slip through the net. Goes to show us. Do they even, recognise, True Talent, I doubt it. Happy I found you, Will stick. Ha Ha, Only cos you admired Dwight 👍only joking. Enjoyed that. Brilliant great song, One of many. Greetings from 🇮🇪💚Evelyn.
The Heart That You Own, She Wore Red Dresses, I Ain’t That Lonely Yet and countless others. Nashville never supported him - he was the California Sound - Bakersville. He’s fantastic.
Oh my goodness you've gone down the Dwight Yocum rabbit hole. Brings back memories of my Mama at my age practally swooning over him. He's from Kentucky and so we're my parents. She thought she may have dated his Dad. Lol He's a good actor. He was in Sling Blade. You won't recognize him unless you look really hard. I was laid low by covid for the past two weeks. I'm so glad it's slmost over and my brain has unmudled itself.
A slow song of his that captured me is, South of Cincinnati on the Guitars Cadillacs album. I have played it many times at jam sessions because it speaks to me.
Great reaction PJ! “Buenos Noches From a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)” Live in Austin, Texas is another great song by Dwight Yoakam that I think you’d like.
Maybe not all Dwight but I do enjoy a lot of this man's music. As I said before, one of the only men I wish I was as cool as. Thanks again, this is a wonderful version of this beautiful tune.
Dwight Yoakam has always been one of my absolute favorite artists! He's simple amazing! If you'd like a suggestion for another amazing country singer to react to, you should go down the Ricky Van Shelton rabbit hole. He has one of the most beautiful voices in country music. Is suggest starting with Statue of a Fool!
I've always told a spaper doing a's music reactions DYEO come DYDY why you're welcome. Nobody never minobody. Nobody has charged the Oscar pride. Donut might be 3 years 2 and a 1/2 3 years ago? But I wish they would somebody would you are. Little sister little sister by Dwight Yokum. I know it's a cover but he doesn't. I hate hating blow wife and cover sale
And then if you go market down. Kenny Chesney is a simpyeah. The some papers did a song. Maybe 2 songs how you've got like in a Manny hits. So I just made left on the bowner all right?😅😅😅😅😅
There's also a video of him performing this while sitting next to Buck Owens. Buck briefly requests and introduces the song by talking about how much he loves it. Then Dwight gives a brief and vague story about what inspired him to write the song.
I for one am enjoying the journey down the Dwight rabbit hole you have embarked on. He's my favorite. He has always been a constant in my household. Only George Strait and Patsy Cline top him on my mother's list. He is a solid number two behind Marty Stuart for my wife. My 10 yr old son has yet to develop an appreciation for him. He's a Willie Nelson/John Prine type of guy, so I have no doubt it will come with time. As always thanks for your sincere and thoughtful reaction.
The line he closed his old blue eyes and fell limp against my side rips my guts out. This was from Austin City Limits. Please react to South of Cincinnati by Dwight. I love this version just him and a guitar
I've always felt that the music biz shorted Dwight Yokam by promoting his tight pants and association with Buck Owens, more than his own, incredible voice and performance. What a talent, as you say!
Hi PJ, Dwight is also an actor. Been in some good movies. Check him out in movie, #SLING BLADE. With Billy Bob Thornton. Great movie. It's a movie you will never forget.
Yes, Yes. Throughout his career Dwight has made a habit of choosing excellent songs to cover and absolutely smashing it. He never compromise. Prince, Johnny Cash, Johnny Horton, Elvis Presley, Beach Boys, Amazing Rhythm Aces, etc.
Ay yi yi! They weren't kidding, this one is a tearjerker. Thank you for doing it. As to the Dwight reaction channel, only if it is a third channel. Because on this channel you still have to do Jimmy Rogers - the Singing Brakeman, through Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, Maybe his late son Justin Townes Earle, Tyler Childers, many others who aren't coming to mind atm. There is somewhere close to 100 years of recorded Country music you've yet to go through! Keep going. Loved the song, loved the reaction. Thank you.
Im glad you reacted to "I Sang Dixie" today. Dwight said that he and his brother spent time in L.A. and some of what he saw there was disturbing. I appreciate his social message. If you'd like some more insight, you might check out his appearance at Buck Owen's Funeral. By the way, I'd all but forgotten you reaction to Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens duet "Streets of Bakersfield" several months ago. Your reaction was excellent as usual. You might post a link for those who haven't watched.
DJ Pj, first a gazillion kudos for reacting to this song, “I sang Dixie” is my favorite Dwight song. I’ve subscribed to your channel long enough to know how fair & honest you are about your reactions so please take no offense when I say, as you being a black man, I hoped you wouldn’t go All PC over the title of this song & judge it for what it is meant to be, a heartbreaking, well written song. Some people would want to make a fuss about the title & not it’s real meaning, their mind is closed & can’t get past it. But you got the song & it’s meaning for what it was & proved that you are above any of that. Yours was an outstanding reaction to a great song. I applaud you sir. 👏👏🤘✌️👍
I've become a follower. I like that you actually take the time to listen. Thank you for not just passing on songs because of the title or that it's not culturally popular. I'll keep following.
Thank you so much for reacting to this Dwight song. I'm not sure why it's my favorite because I'm not from the south but I just love the sound of his voice in this and the definite heartbreak he is feeling. Like was already said he paints a vivid picture with his songs 🎵. Glad you enjoyed. 🥰
Hello and love from Texas!!! New sub! Women love Dwight and men want to be him!!! My favorite artists of all genres! For the whimsical side of Dwight check out "Waterfall" from The Live Room!!!
Heres several old ones that you should check out. Suzy Boggus "Someday Soon", Marty Robbins "Strawberry Roan", Travis Tritt "Country Club", Patti Lovelace "The Song Remembers When", Alan Jackson "Drive", Martina McBride "Independence Day". Pre-Auto-tune troubadors! Keep up the fine work brother!
I love the way you repeated the song and commented on it. My first time seeing one of your reactions. I hit the Subscribe button. And man" You" have a lovely voice!
@ColonialBuckeye I know about the embarrassment. My dad could not read or write always just made an X for his name. After awhile that was not good enough so I had to teach him how to sign his name by holding his hand and guide him.
I certainly like to hear Dwight and his songs , still I'm glad that you react to a variety of country entertainers. I wish you would get back to at least one more song from Hal Ketchum. I'd suggest his cover of "Five O'clock World" or his original "Small Town Saturday Night". Thanks as always for your love of country music.
My dad was an alcoholic saw him many time lying on a sidewalk and I had to just walk on by he died in 1992 we never talk to each other for may be the last 10 years of his life so sad but you can not help them
P.J. I know you are getting inundated with DY requests. It takes a lot of guts to cover a Elvis Presley song. Elvis live version of Suspicious Minds is Gold! Dwight covered Suspicious Minds with 25 million views of the official video. I just thought I would put that out there for a later time. Peace P.J
It is based on an encounter with a homeless man that Dwight and his brother had one night while wandering the streets of LA. I don't know how much of the story Dwight is telling is fact and how much is artistic license. Anyway, I interpret the lyrics as Dwight happening upon a homeless alcoholic dying on the sidewalk in LA. Dwight stops to see if he can help the man as others simply walk by ignoring him. The old man is using his dying breath to warn Dwight that coming to LA in search of fame and fortune can end badly. The old rebel is advising Dwight to get out while he still can and head back to Dixie. Dwight in turn comforts the dying man by singing Dixie to him as he prays for God to take the man to heaven (back home to Dixie) and give him peace
The best version of a hymn (any hymn ! ) I've ever heard by anyone was Dwight singing "I Come to the Garden Alone" at Buck Owens funeral..... Would love to see a reaction video to eulogy and song. ua-cam.com/video/LzCcBaXU-So/v-deo.htmlsi=EGTb8cyWdU3lV9y7
And that's how you hold an audience with nothing but your voice and an acoustic guitar.
@Code 9
WORD!
Absolutely one of the best country music singers of all time!!!
Dwight’s lyrics paints such vivid pictures. Alcoholism is so heartbreaking
This is my favorite Dwight song. It makes me think of my older brother who lived the last 10 years or so of his life homeless. While living in the streets in another state he discovered that he was dying from cancer, he contacted our daddy and, ultimately, he told me that he wanted to come home.

Heartbreaking
This one always brings tears to my eyes. It's done so well that I almost feel as I was there.
Dwight is the only county artist I follow . Love him.🎸🎵🎶😎
That Austin City Limits performance is some of Dwight’s best work in my opinion. Plus, many of the songs in that session(Buenos Noches) feature one of the most talented of the great state of Texas- Flaco Jiminez! He’s amazing. This song, I’ve read, was written by Dwight after a trip to LA where he “saw things that disturbed him greatly”- I can only imagine…
Hands down the best recording of this song!
Too true that some places can suck our souls and hope right out of our lives and bodies. Find the place that nourishes you.
My favorite Dwight song!!
Dwight is underrated as a songwriter! This depicts he and his brother witnessing a death on the streets of LA, and no one cared.
All for a Dwight Marathon! You’ve not hit his 90’s stuff yet.
I sang this at my father's funeral with a few changes to personalize it for my dad. It was true. Funeral was in Illinois.
Love Dwight's music
One of only a few country artists I enjoy.
P.J. you are so right. Dwight can go from Honky-tonk Man to I Sang Dixie. He is so versatile. Like so many artists that could be so relevant the Nashville Machine will not support them. They still tour because we the fans still love them. Thank you for this reaction, excellent as always.

Dwight is known as one of the most intelligent and generous performers in the music industry. He pays his band very well and when he stays in fancy hotels, so do they.
Just an awesome entertainer.
This song still reminds me of my late brother who was a big fan of Dwight's and would always ask me to play some Dwight when he came to visit.
He,Chris Stapleton and Patty Loveless put on a show in Rupp Arena for the flood victims in eastern Kentucky. Stapleton and Patty did You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive at the CMA award show. Dwight has a great voice. Some are surprised that Chris Stapleton is from eastern Kentucky. He's from Johnson County, Loretta Lynn country.
I have loved this song since it was first released and it has made me cry every single time.
one great singer and actor!
What a sad dixie song. He sang and played with his soul.
What a great voice..song..Glad you liked it..
He is also an actor, too. what a talented man.
I had the radio EP of Guitars and Cadillacs, released in 86. An old girlfriend took it with her, I sure miss that EP.
In an interview I watched, Dwight said he was "out on the town" in LA with his bother and they came upon a very upsetting scene. He didn't go into detail but said he went home that night and wrote this song as a way to process and cope.

It’s hard not to be right there on that street with them, he makes the story so real.
So good Dwight my sister-in-law she’s not with us anymore, but her name is Charlotte her and your mother worked together. They were good friends her her name was Charlotte
This is Ella Ellis. I love your singing. I always have you sing so good. Keep on Going, you’re doing a great job
I love this song
Ohh...you should react to, "Back of Your Hand," by him. Another soft side of him and beautiful and meaningful and very deep song too!
So talented.

He is great. Wonderful actor also, as seen in some movies and tv bits.
Thank you for playing this song. I had been hoping that you would.
The Heart That You Own, She Wore Red Dresses, I Ain’t That Lonely Yet and countless others.
Nashville never supported him - he was the California Sound - Bakersville.
He’s fantastic.
If you like this kind of Dwight, you might want to look at him singing In The Garden, a tribute to Minnie Pearl.
That's a great one! His voice just has so much character in it! Great reaction!
Two Doors Down, A Thousand Miles From Nowhere are 2 more great songs by him
Oh my goodness you've gone down the Dwight Yocum rabbit hole. Brings back memories of my Mama at my age practally swooning over him. He's from Kentucky and so we're my parents. She thought she may have dated his Dad. Lol

I heard he wrote this song about his brother, who told home to go back home to the south since LA isn't for him before he died
