As a black kid from around the corner I can say Dwight was the coolest older guy we knew. Never nasty, never racist and his momma had the best laugh and advice for young guys like us. He sid he was gonna do it and boy did he do it.
This was the revival of a more traditional sound. It was rebellion of what was mainstream in Nashville at the time that Dwight had a hit with this song. Most country hits of the time didn't sound like this.

This is honestly my first time listening to Dwight Yoakam and I can say I will definitely be listening to more of his music. I thought to myself that Austin City Limits is a great place to start. I am loving watching old live performances and some newer ones. I knew Country could be great but growing up I only heard modern pop country that I did not like. I thought to myself that I needed to explore so I did and its one of the best things I have done for my music curiosity. Im so grateful that this is available for my listening pleasure. Anyone else who is listening in 2023 you have great taste in music btw.
When I lived in Dallas, there used to be an old country radio station I would listen to and whenever a caller requested Dwight Yoakam he or she would say, "Yes...I'd like to hear some skinny pants..." They don't make em like Dwight anymore...
This man was a legend his ability to create awesome country honky-tonk music he was a good actor play Doyle in sling blade with Billy Bob Thornton and a number of other movies you will be missed Dwight R.I.P 😔
I saw Dwight back in the late 90's in North Charleston, South Carolina. He was over 2 hours late for the show. They played every song back to back and left.
Born in Detroit. Raised on Rock N Roll and Motown. Found country music much later in life. I prefer blue grass and Del Reeves, Loretta Lynn, etc much more than todays country. Love the hick-hop horseshit. I'll be using that one from now on, thanks.
I agree it sounds like shit going through a sewer pipe its for those people who like to scavenge for garbage in a open dumpster i would rather listen to nickelback
There’s plenty of country artists still around, they just aren’t on the radio much. Try Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Cody Jinks is pretty good. Jamey Johnson was really big but hasn’t put out much lately.
Lyrics Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep You showed me how this town can shatter dreams Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives And painful scars are all that's left of me Oh but thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel If I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave And it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on Oh it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Lonely, lonely streets that I call home Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's 2021 and I'm watching this admiring Dwight's style, from the cool jeans, jacket, boots and texas neck tie and hat....he really looked great here. Reminds of my exact thoughts when watching my favorite bass player of all time. Ben Orr (The Cars) always looked great, had a cool style all his own. IMO two of the best dressed musicians around. They were the definition of cool!
He is one of the best ,,,,,, love this mans music,,, thousands miles from no where,,, that's my song,,, love love his version of purple rain, by Prince, he is another favorite of mine, thank God for music,, Gods another favorite of mine, Amen
I stomped many a dance floor to this hit when it first came out & I still love it. He could remake the alphabet song & turn it into a hit. The way he moved it in those yummy looking boots & jeans.......lordy wish I could go back in time!

Totally
Get a JOB. OR A JOHN
That lead guitar player is one of the best in the business.
Pete Anderson is Dwight’s Keith Richards. It’s never been the same since they spilt.
Pete Anderson... One of my heroes
Pete Anderson

One of my friends from my hometown was Dwight’s lead player,Eddie Shaver before Pete came on the scene.
Still relevant in 2022...Sublime talent.
🤣💥😁🇨🇦🇺🇸
why can"t these new guys do that?
I just saw him in Little Rock 2/17/23. Saw him 29 years earlier in DC. He’s such a great artist and performer!
You bet your ass it is,and only getting better.
2024
Dude was born with one hell of a voice.
As a black kid from around the corner I can say Dwight was the coolest older guy we knew. Never nasty, never racist and his momma had the best laugh and advice for young guys like us. He sid he was gonna do it and boy did he do it.
Back when Country was badass!! Still the only man that can truly rock Skinny Bootlegs !!
Back when country music was actually country music, those were the days.
no shit
Agreed but doesn’t Every generation say that? He looks pretty high here lol Willies bus must be close ACL
@@gregmf9427 I think he would be look happier if that were the case lol
Late 80's through the 90s was certainly the best era after the likes of Dwight, Garth, and Brooks and Dunn came along.
This was the revival of a more traditional sound. It was rebellion of what was mainstream in Nashville at the time that Dwight had a hit with this song. Most country hits of the time didn't sound like this.
I swear Dwight could sing the damn phone book and I'd listen to it all day long on repeat!
Same Ol Son
I remember saying exactly that same phrase to a coworker back in the 90s 😎
The man is a true living legend
I'm with you!!! 😄😄😄
Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
This was filmed on October 23,1988 and I'm still lovin' it.
Missin' Buck and Don too.
I love guitar transition from their intro tune, right into the opening guitar riff
He's still got it! May, 2024, New orleans. Loved it!
Love all his music, so awesome.

Pure country and I love it! He's one of a kind!
Americana ..... perfected.
Gawd, i wish country was still like this.
That entrance!! What a legend he is💃🏿 Still relevant 2019♥️
I think the entrance tune is Soul Twisting an old King Curtis instrumental
You will never meet a more down to earth guy than Dwight. Watch yourself he is a Master at Pranks too.
Still relevant 2022 and beyond.
Good ear. Indeed. @@LonnieFlemmer
Wish country music was still like this
Thanks all 💗💗💗
Those were the days. I miss the 80's..
I first caught Dwight during the LA punk/roots music scene in the early 80s. Been a fan ever since.
Dwight, the great representation of COW PUNK, I HEAR YOU BROTHER!!!!
Dwight is so Freaking Good. His voice was made for country and his band is bad ass. Love the guitar player on the Telecaster.
Pete Anderson was lead guitar during these albums. Amazing talent
❤. I Love Dwight Yocum❤
SLING BLADE is still one of my favorite movies and he was one SOB in that! hahaha
He was also an SOB in Logan Lucky.
WE DONT NEED TO PRACTICE RANDY!!
YESS SIRRRR!!!!
@@jtz100607We ain’t got no goddamn band!
I've loved Dwight and his singing from the very first time I saw and heard him perform.
Hello juliana
please fing some-one to these oldies shoes
@@scotttrail9225ciao Scott! 🙋♀️😊😘💘🌅
I have adored him for 35 years.
What a voice, what a band...
"I need your guitars, your Cadillacs, and your hillbilly music.”
@martinnbafiba1 its "you forgot to say howdy"
The best Bobby Bare,country song!!! Love from Vilhelmina Sweden
Living country legend
This man was a legend his ability to create awesome country honky-tonk music he was a good actor play Doyle in sling blade with Billy Bob Thornton and a number of other movies you will be missed Dwight R.I.P 😔
He's not dead, buddy.
Arnold Schwarzenegger entering the casino. This is a beautiful song, your brother from Iraq
Dwight is very good, went to a show at a winery, sat in the grass on the hill above the stage, drank their wine, very good show!!!
Pete is a legend , rip,that telecaster
I saw Dwight back in the late 90's in North Charleston, South Carolina. He was over 2 hours late for the show. They played every song back to back and left.
Dwight is the COOLEST COUNTRY SONGER EVER! It’s the twang!
Adore his voice.
He is an awesome singer ,superb songwriter and a great actor.
The voice! One of a kind and instantly recognizable. And my oh my he can wear a pair of jeans!
One of the last real country artists before we got the hick-hop horseshit that's popular now.
Born in Detroit. Raised on Rock N Roll and Motown. Found country music much later in life. I prefer blue grass and Del Reeves, Loretta Lynn, etc much more than todays country. Love the hick-hop horseshit. I'll be using that one from now on, thanks.
Yep , all the drivel now is a clone of each other. LOL . Alan Jackson was pretty good, don't know if he is still around.
I agree it sounds like shit going through a sewer pipe its for those people who like to scavenge for garbage in a open dumpster i would rather listen to nickelback
@@tracykingston9668
Al's still around...and STILL keeping it Country. 🇺🇲
There’s plenty of country artists still around, they just aren’t on the radio much. Try Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Cody Jinks is pretty good. Jamey Johnson was really big but hasn’t put out much lately.
It's so good to hear this today September 2021 and I love 💕 Country music.

Lyrics
Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
Oh but thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
If I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave
And it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Oh it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Love Dwight Yoakum...has been my country music artist crush forever...🔥😍😉🍹🍸🍻😎🤘✊
That's first time that I can recall watching a major Country star sing an entire live number through his nose!
The lyrics to this song are so dark and bleak but mixed with the upbeat country twang… love it
It's 2021 and I'm watching this admiring Dwight's style, from the cool jeans, jacket, boots and texas neck tie and hat....he really looked great here. Reminds of my exact thoughts when watching my favorite bass player of all time. Ben Orr (The Cars) always looked great, had a cool style all his own. IMO two of the best dressed musicians around. They were the definition of cool!
Unique voice.
Ben and Dwight are memorizing to watch.
I just love his sound! Tapping and swinging to it!
That voice......
Thank you so so much 🥰🥰🥰
Love that Telecaster tone !
Make Country Music Great Again!
He is one of the best ,,,,,, love this mans music,,, thousands miles from no where,,, that's my song,,, love love his version of purple rain, by Prince, he is another favorite of mine, thank God for music,, Gods another favorite of mine, Amen
Amen
I bought an autographed sombrero of his over 20 years ago. I am finally lettimg go of it. Can't bear to leave it boxed in the closet another decade
Best country song ever made
I never heard this song , now i can t stop playing it the hole house moves when i blast it
It has a nice appearance in the film Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). Check it out!
love clean live stuff to blast on the Klipschorns
@@rodmanser7573 Dang , never heard that on YT before , Klipschorns are the bomb, that was the dream speakers in the early 70's.
Saw Dwight at the Oregon Jamboree in Sweet Home...and At Red Rocks Colorado. What fun....Mr Anderson on guitar...POPs that Telecaster.
Love Dwight True Country Music And He From Kentucky My Home State
I stomped many a dance floor to this hit when it first came out & I still love it. He could remake the alphabet song & turn it into a hit. The way he moved it in those yummy looking boots & jeans.......lordy wish I could go back in time!
One of the last of the real country musicians. Nashville pickin’
Up there with Alan Jackson. imo
Dwight is the best 💕💕💕💕

He is still the Best. A Legend that will live forever almost the same as Elvis...God is Good...❤😊
What a sound!! Never seen him in concert! Regretting it, no doubt! He is outright awesome!
Never saw him in concert, you hayseed Trump voter.
I saw him in 88 in Columbus Oh. He put on a great show him and his band. Unique sound and style but Country at the same time.
@@petebradt What are you jibber jabbering about ?
Come here in Nashville he's got concert Jan 19-21 at The Ryman.

He is the best of the best
This was on his birthday too!! Love him
I don't have a favorite country singer, but if I have to pick Dwight Yoakem.
So glad to have seen Dwight perform at the Pala Casino in San Diego County, CA...Dwights still going strong!
Streets of Bakersfield with the inimitable Buck Owens + Flaco Jiminez? Who the hell can beat that?
Can't. I'm in awe.
He is a fine actor
Just an amazing live performance I love it :D
Dwight is unique. Dwight is great. Dwight is cool. Period.
So much talent in this video.
Nobody does the 'boot scootin' any better than Dwight!
Just saw him last night. He's better than ever!!!
The Mavericks were also excellent!!
Love you Dwight 😘
Just love those country shuffles. Mm..mm!!
Always good timeless entertainment !!
Why would anyone not like this? Classic Dwight - thanks for uploading
One of my all time favorites
2023 still listening to real country
Gotta Love 💕 Mr. Pete Anderson!! Best guitar 🎸 player!! Before auto tune Pro tools took over!!
Dwight , your everything to me . ❤️
He gets a standing ovation before he starts singing. I taught him well 😆 LOL.
You the man, Phillip
You couldn't sang shit if he helped you 😆
Dwight Yoakam = TOP "Real Deal" Shelf !
That's John Cowan on bass/BG vocals. He sang lead and played bass for New Grass Revival .. amazing vocalist!
Didn’t recognize him, what a vocal talent. Playing with the Doobie Brothers now.
That lead❤❤❤❤❤
I am 14 about to be 15 and I love this stuff so much 😍 and he is awesome
Bellissima canzone! Grandissima performance, per una voce meravigliosa! 😊🤗😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💋💯💯🌅
Greated music I ever heard come out of country music and I hope I don't step on anybody's toes.
Can we all take a moment to admire the bassist's permullet?
That's the hair style of royalty
I thought it was Robert Plant playing bass.
At First look i think was a woman 😝
Dwight Yoakum is the best.
Simply Awesome
Alan Scott mhb
He came out in around 1985 or so it's was all over the radio ibwas working in electrical field with my uncle he tought me allot he love Dwight yokum.were all from a redneck background.loved it.
