Oh yes....1000 miles from nowhere is just the best. I was a freight train conductor for 17 years and it feels like that out there running the rails. Dwight is terrific.
Bakersfield is the the south end of California's Central Valley. It's an area of farming and oil fields. The Bakersfield sound started in the '50s going back to basics and blending in early rock and Tejano music. Nashville at the time had moved more to big city, big money, big orchestra music and was losing its country roots. Honky tonks are working man bars with loud, lively music.
Dwight is one of the great traditional artists who is surprisingly underrated in modern country circles. Has an excellent catalog that spans southern country style as a whole. Great artist to explore, moody and expressive, to rowdy and raucous. And one of the true gentlemen when it comes to his fans.
Dwight Yoakam is an iconic singer and songwriter, and he's been one of my all-time favorites since you were knee high to a grasshopper, Sebs. He also plays a great movie villain. The Streets of Bakersfield with Buck Owens is a fun song and I Sang Dixie -- based his real-life encounter with a dying man in Los Angeles -- is touching and terrific. Guitars, Cadillacs is another great song.
His skin tight, boot cut jeans were very popular, as you noticed. Really talented artist. I’m hoping to talk you into hearing a band called the Mavericks, a song called Oh What a Thrill or Ain’t That A Crying Shame. The lead singer is SO good, he just pulls you in like no one else. Please, please give them a listen..I promise you won’t regret it. Great reaction to Dwight as well Seb. Peace. ❤
In terms of stage moves Dwight was often called the Elvis of Country. His moves weren't copies but they were sexy. Check out the live performance of his up-tempo hit, "Guitars and Cadillacs". It's the very definition of Dwight Yoakam.
There’s a video of Dwight, Keith Urban and the Brothers Osborne on Keith’s channel of one of Dwight’s hits, Fast As You. The guitar solos….. wow!! You need to hear it Sebs with your love, as well as our love too, of the guitar. And yes, very memorable characters in SlingBlade, Panic Room and others. ♥️
Please consider doing a reaction to Dwight and Buck Owens performing "The Streets of Bakersfield". I know you'll love it. Take the word of an 80 year old man. Us old dudes know! Lol Hopefully you'll do the video version. Thank you. Love the channel.
Flaco Jimenez performed with the Texas Tornados, an American Tejano supergroup, that also included Augie Meyers, Doug Sahm, and Freddy Fender. It another good rabbit hole to go down with songs such as (Hey Baby) Que Pasó?, Who Were You Thinkin' Of, Adios Mexico, Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone, etc.
Flaco Jimenez on that accordion really added just the right amount of spice to that song. You should checkout The Streets of Bakersfield by Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens.
Sebs, your requestors have immaculate taste in music! I’m a rocker through and through, but I will listen to Dwight Yoakum any day. Was lucky enough to see him at Massey Hall in Toronto for that 1st album tour and it was an amazing show. A good actor, too!
I absolutely love Dwight!! I've been a fan from the beginning and I'm officially an old metal head party chick! LOL... Dwight Yoakam is phenomenally gifted and you will see if you do the deep dive down the rabbit hole! My favs from him are "Nothing", "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere", "Ain't That Lonely Yet", "Streets of Bakersfield", "Fast as You". I would have loved to see him live in concert! Thank so much Sebs!!
Let me tell ya something about Ol Dwight brother, he’s awesome period . And yes those are size 27” waist Custom Levi’s . That dude ate cambells soup to stay in them and that’s it.. but that’s Pete Anderson on the guitar his lifelong writer friend producer . Now watch him on the movie Sling Blade with Billy Bob Thornton and tell me what ya think about Ol Dwight, 👊🏼
Thanks for reviewing Dwight Yoakam. He was popular in the 90s and had a big following. I saw him perform live at a local festival in Chgo. and I was blown away. Some of his rockabilly songs are quite good, too. I grew up on 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s music, etc. and appreciate most genres. This was very good to watch (although I did not know the dark theme of the song, either 😮).
Absolutely love, love Dwight. I began listening to him for the first time in 1991. Me, not a country (fiend) lol 😅 in that day and time, but a new guy I was hanging out with popped in a CD and out come a voice that was/is magical!! Another great artist that also come out this same time is the best new Female Country Artist of all time is Patty Loveless. She did several duets with Mr. Vince Gill, talk about amazing! One tune these two new artist's sing together is called: (Pocket Full of Gold!) Also, if you want to react to another Dwight song, I love the one he sings called: "Since I Started Drinking Again!" Thank you Seb, for bring all of us a variety of Masterful Music!!!
I saw him live in Switzerland somewhere, I think it was maybe in Gstaad. It was so so awesome! He’s so great! I’ve always loved Dwight. That perfect voice!!! ❤
EPIC. LEGEND. Keep Going!!!! Thousand Miles from Nowhere Suspicious Minds (Elvis cover) Ain’t That Lonely Yet ***He Sang Dixie - Dwight wrote after he and his brother witnessed a murder on the streets in LA.
YEAH he's awesome!!! I love his music ... so inspired by "The Bakersfield Sound" and Buck Owens. And I love Flaco who was once a part of the great Texas Tornados.
Dwight is top 5 in my favorite singer/songwriter country artists. He is so underrated. You could go through his whole catalog and find so many gems. Thanks for the reaction, hope to see more Dwight. Btw I subscribed for this one.
I've been a fan of Dwight Yoakam since forever! I love all of his music! Brilliant songwriter also. He is a very good actor as well. He and Buck Owens were great friends and were part of the "Bakersfield Sound" way back when. His song "Fast As You" was a sort of rocking/country tune, and is one of my favorites. Good reaction!
Dwight was his own niche in country music. You could group very few other artists (Lyle Lovett, a few others) in with him because his sound and style were different from the mainstream Clint Blacks and George Straits of the time.
This guy is smokey beer spilling bar genius. Where does he buy his jeans!!!! Loved this guy's music for years. Entertaining from front row to last seat in the venue
Another great performance on Austin City Limits if I remember right. Flaco is a Legendary accordionist. Check out Dwight's "A Thousand Miles From Nowhere".
1st time I heard Dwight & I was hooked. “Two Doors Down” is another good one along with some others mentioned. His cover of “ Suspicious Mind”is super! Also “ The Heart That You Own”. He went thru a Rockabilly stage early on, but my preference is his later stuff. Great lyrics & stories. I have every album he’s ever done!!!
I am going to see him in concert at the end of this month. Dwight is dangerously underrated, except by those in the know! Please check out his cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds, it is so good that it almost made me forget the King's!
I love the accordion so much, my brother took lessons on it when we were young and I learned how to play El Primo so got the idea of howto use both hands at once. You always hear the accordion being played, such a distinctive sound.
Many, many years ago, my aunt, God rest her soul, introduced me to country through Dwight Yoakam. Listen to 1000 miles from nowhere, that is a great song. And another great song is “Fast as You”, yeah you can’t go wrong with Dwight Yoakam.
He came to our area a year or so ago, and we went to his show. He still sounds so good, and his band is wonderful!! I love his unique voice. I have loved him ever since he came on the scene!! So many great songs!!! Just listen to his voice!!!!
The song is a great mix of rockabilly and Conjunto music. Flaco is the best accordion play in the Mexican style. He was born and raised in San Antonio. Dwight Yoakum was born in Kentucky and grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Have been a fan of his since his first record. Been a fan of Flaco since I heard him on the great Ry Cooder album Chicken Skin Music from 1976. Great reaction video. Go see Dwight Yoakum sometime. He puts on a great show.
❤Love Dwight and he fills those jeans out just fine 😜. His music is so versatile and covers so many emotions! “I Sang Dixie” is a must listen to if you like storytelling…..
When it comes to unique voices, voices that just reach out and grab you, and you know who it is from the first not that's sung, Dwight Yoakam is probably among THE best in country music especially over the past 40+ years.
While Trucking we would pick up a load out of Bakersfield, and it was so Western that people would use the old wood wagon wheels to line their yards. Beautiful
"I'm Not That Lonely Yet" is my favorite Yoakam song and a song he received a Grammy for. That is Flaco Jiménez on the accordion I believe. BTW Dwight also has delved into acting. He was in this little movie called Sling Blade. He received the Premiere Performance Award at the 57th Annual Motion Picture Club Awards for his role as Doyle Hargraves in Sling Blade (1996) Just a side note,I think maybe Dwight set the trend for skinny jeans back in the day
Guitars and Cadillacs!! 1000 miles from nowhere!!!
My 2 favorites
Great songs
Right on… ✨
Yes…G&C!
Oh yes....1000 miles from nowhere is just the best. I was a freight train conductor for 17 years and it feels like that out there running the rails. Dwight is terrific.
Dwight Yoakam is the bomb. One of the best ever. So many hits to mention. Couple of my favorites are "Streets of Bakersfield" and "I Sang Dixie".
2 of my favorites!!
These are my two faves too.
Give “The Streets of Bakersfield” a try.
I’m glad that you have found Dwight he has a whole rabbit hole for you to dive into. Check out 1,000 miles from nowhere next or little sister
Huge rabbit hole! Peace, Love!!
Oh love Little Sister
"Ain't that lonely yet" is a masterpiece of songwriting and tune smithing!
You are so right!
My absolute favorite. Bought the CD & Im not a country fan so much.
Love that one
Right. Glad you mentioned that song, definitely one of DW's best.
listen to "Streets of Bakersfield" with Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens his childhood idol.
Bakersfield is the the south end of California's Central Valley. It's an area of farming and oil fields. The Bakersfield sound started in the '50s going back to basics and blending in early rock and Tejano music. Nashville at the time had moved more to big city, big money, big orchestra music and was losing its country roots. Honky tonks are working man bars with loud, lively music.
My Mom played music on tour with Buck when I was little. My Dad was with her,playing steel guitar. She sang and played rythm.
Dwight is one of the great traditional artists who is surprisingly underrated in modern country circles. Has an excellent catalog that spans southern country style as a whole. Great artist to explore, moody and expressive, to rowdy and raucous. And one of the true gentlemen when it comes to his fans.
I couldn't have said it better.
He's built like a cowboy, wide at the shoulders and narrow at the hips. He is an amazing artist and a very good actor as well.
"Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose" ❤ "Guitars & Cadillacs" ❤ "Fast As You" ❤
Good ones!
Also, A Thousand miles from nowhere.Very good💕💕
Dwight Yoakam is an iconic singer and songwriter, and he's been one of my all-time favorites since you were knee high to a grasshopper, Sebs. He also plays a great movie villain. The Streets of Bakersfield with Buck Owens is a fun song and I Sang Dixie -- based his real-life encounter with a dying man in Los Angeles -- is touching and terrific. Guitars, Cadillacs is another great song.
Dwight Yoakum played the awful stepdad, Doyle, in the movie Sling Blade with Billy Bob Thornton.
Great film. John Ritter's performance was insanely good.
Good/ sad movie. One of my favorites of all time. Seen Dwight Yoakam and Willie Nelson in Chattanooga Tennessee about two years ago maybe three? FAN!
Was also one of the criminals in Panic Room with Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart.
That whole movie gave me chills because it was just like my home town
@@crystalwood4502 I forgot about that!
One of my favorite artists!!! Great catalog of music to enjoy!!!
Guitars, Cadillacs and Hillbilly Music, Fast as you, Streets of Bakersfield He has many great songs and you will enjoy it all.
Yes Guitars and Cadillacs
"I'm not that lonely yet" , "1000 Miles from Nowhere", "Rabbit by the Tail" w/ Buck Owens!! Check out Buck Owens too! Also Charley Pride!
Tiger by the Tail..not rabbit
@@tamianderson3977 yep! I appreciate you letting me know I wrote it down wrong ... I wrote so fast I didn't pay attention. 😀
😅@@tamianderson3977
*Ain't That Lonely Yet
You ought to check out his video Suspicious Minds. He’s a huge Elvis fan
I love that one!
One of my favorites by him!
He is an awesome songwriter and actor.
His skin tight, boot cut jeans were very popular, as you noticed.
Really talented artist. I’m hoping to talk you into hearing a band
called the Mavericks, a song called Oh What a Thrill or Ain’t That
A Crying Shame. The lead singer is SO good, he just pulls you in
like no one else. Please, please give them a listen..I promise you
won’t regret it. Great reaction to Dwight as well Seb. Peace. ❤
Saw Mavericks and Dwight in Prescott about a month? ago. Great show!
The Mavericks! Raul Malo another underrated singer. I need to get back to listening to music
Raul Malo singing Every Little Thing…. OMG Raul is SO great
Dwight’s cover of heartaches by the number and ring of fire are phenomenal! There is nothing he cannot sing❤
In terms of stage moves Dwight was often called the Elvis of Country. His moves weren't copies but they were sexy. Check out the live performance of his up-tempo hit, "Guitars and Cadillacs". It's the very definition of Dwight Yoakam.
Thanks! please play "Streets of Bakersfield " with Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens.
Dwight is so good and Flaco is legendary
He's pretty good. Suspicious minds and guitar cadillacs are good. Also im 1000 miles from nowhere.
"Pretty good"? King of country to me...well Rockabilly...
There’s a video of Dwight, Keith Urban and the Brothers Osborne on Keith’s channel of one of Dwight’s hits, Fast As You. The guitar solos….. wow!! You need to hear it Sebs with your love, as well as our love too, of the guitar. And yes, very memorable characters in SlingBlade, Panic Room and others. ♥️
Fast as you is my favorite
Every time I hear Dwight I end up listening to him for days!
LOVE DWIGHT❤
Please consider doing a reaction to Dwight and Buck Owens performing "The Streets of Bakersfield". I know you'll love it. Take the word of an 80 year old man. Us old dudes know! Lol Hopefully you'll do the video version. Thank you. Love the channel.
Please do more Dwight Yoakam from this concert, so many good songs.
Love this song, love Dwight and LOVE,LOVE, LOVE, FLACO! He’s still playing at 85!!!
he's only 67.
I LOVE Dwight's music! I saw him live in Austin a couple of years ago--got to check that off my bucket list!
Great reaction....thank you!
"Fast as You" is a fantastic tune.
HELLO!!! At the time jeans were the style at that time. Just like the Bee Gees you made a comment about Barry the lead singer.
Flaco Jimenez performed with the Texas Tornados, an American Tejano supergroup, that also included Augie Meyers, Doug Sahm, and Freddy Fender. It another good rabbit hole to go down with songs such as (Hey Baby) Que Pasó?, Who Were You Thinkin' Of, Adios Mexico, Is Anybody Goin' to San Antone, etc.
Flaco's sound is so individual. I can always tell when it's him on accordian.
I’m not Austrian but I like BACH. I’m not country but I like Dwight and Steve Earle.
Love him! He is also is an actor.
Dwight Yoakam is one of my favorite country singer. I have seen him a few times now, and he is so great.
He is also an excellent actor.
Love me some Dwight!!
Flaco Jimenez on that accordion really added just the right amount of spice to that song. You should checkout The Streets of Bakersfield by Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens.
LOVE Dwight Yoakum!! Thank you for a new song from him. Your reaction is great. This song is in the vein of old Marty Robbins. Superb.
I can listen to Dwight all day, every day. Shout out to Pete Anderson, the lead guitarist and album producer for most of Dwight's catalog.
Dwight Yokum. A real country voice. ❤️. One of a kind.
Sebs, your requestors have immaculate taste in music! I’m a rocker through and through, but I will listen to Dwight Yoakum any day. Was lucky enough to see him at Massey Hall in Toronto for that 1st album tour and it was an amazing show. A good actor, too!

Elvis sang rockabilly when he first started

Great singer and great actor! He is one of the best!
YEAH he's awesome!!! I love his music ... so inspired by "The Bakersfield Sound" and Buck Owens. And I love Flaco who was once a part of the great Texas Tornados.
OhMahGawsh *YES!!!* What a great reaction! You absolutely need to go down a Dwight rabbit-hole, lol He doesn't have a single bad song!
Was flipping through you tube and saw Dwight Yoakam review and had to watch. Great singer and songwriter
I love Dwight ,A Thousand Miles From Nowhere is the best country song EVER!
Ah Dwight! One of my all time faves. Be still my heart.
This whole concert was awesome !
Dwight is top 5 in my favorite singer/songwriter country artists. He is so underrated. You could go through his whole catalog and find so many gems. Thanks for the reaction, hope to see more Dwight. Btw I subscribed for this one.
His songs "I Ain't That Lonely Yet" and "As Fast As You Can" are my favorites. Oh hell, all his songs are my favorites!
May I suggest Guitars And Cadillacs or A Thousand Miles From Nowhere, by Dwight.
I was going to suggest exactly these 2 songs. Might I add "Fast as You" and "Cadillac Ranch"
Great suggestions
I've been a fan of Dwight Yoakam since forever! I love all of his music! Brilliant songwriter also. He is a very good actor as well. He and Buck Owens were great friends and were part of the "Bakersfield Sound" way back when. His song "Fast As You" was a sort of rocking/country tune, and is one of my favorites. Good reaction!

Great reaction, bro. One of my all time DY faves is, "The Heart That You Own". The black and white music video is the best version.
I am going to see him in concert at the end of this month. Dwight is dangerously underrated, except by those in the know! Please check out his cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds, it is so good that it almost made me forget the King's!
Try Ain't That Lonely Yet, Long White Cadillac, Suspicious Minds, Guitars Cadillacs, so many more! He was popular in the early 90's!
I love the accordion so much, my brother took lessons on it when we were young and I learned how to play El Primo so got the idea of howto use both hands at once. You always hear the accordion being played, such a distinctive sound.
My top five favorite country music artist
Oh wow
Love Dwight Yoakum! Doesn’t have a bad song.
Many, many years ago, my aunt, God rest her soul, introduced me to country through Dwight Yoakam. Listen to 1000 miles from nowhere, that is a great song. And another great song is “Fast as You”, yeah you can’t go wrong with Dwight Yoakam.
This was one of his sleepers...He has LOTS of big hits. Peace, Love!!
He came to our area a year or so ago, and we went to his show. He still sounds so good, and his band is wonderful!! I love his unique voice. I have loved him ever since he came on the scene!! So many great songs!!! Just listen to his voice!!!!
Dwight is the man!!!! Hillbilly Deluxe!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The song is a great mix of rockabilly and Conjunto music. Flaco is the best accordion play in the Mexican style. He was born and raised in San Antonio. Dwight Yoakum was born in Kentucky and grew up in Columbus, Ohio. Have been a fan of his since his first record.

Definitely look into more Dwight!
Awesome artist!
Oh my! I love Dwight Yoakam. Aint that lonely yet, is my favorite song.
Yep! When prince passed he worked up a beautiful rendition of Purple Rain that showed his respect and brought tears to my eyes.
OH - THOSE VOCALS!!! SO GOOD!!! Enjoy, Sebs!!!
THOUSAND MILES FROM NOWHERE!!!! 🙌🤘
❤Love Dwight and he fills those jeans out just fine 😜. His music is so versatile and covers so many emotions! “I Sang Dixie” is a must listen to if you like storytelling…..
❤❤❤loved his sexy foot work in Little Sister and 1000 miles from no where ! He’s got great moves as well as that voice!
It's beautiful. Dwight has a great voice. Rich as good bourbon.
Yeah man he's got great songs like "I SANG DIXIE, "THIS HEART THAT YOU OWN", WHITE CADILLAC " try some of these songs, think you'll like them.
When it comes to unique voices, voices that just reach out and grab you, and you know who it is from the first not that's sung, Dwight Yoakam is probably among THE best in country music especially over the past 40+ years.
You're The One is one of my many favorites by Dwight!!
Buck Owens introduced Dwight to the world through the Bakersfield Sound. He’s wonderful and you should check out all his music!!!
Beunos Noches From a lonely room. My favorite DY song 😍
While Trucking we would pick up a load out of Bakersfield, and it was so Western that people would use the old wood wagon wheels to line their yards. Beautiful
"I'm Not That Lonely Yet" is my favorite Yoakam song and a song he received a Grammy for. That is Flaco Jiménez on the accordion I believe.
BTW Dwight also has delved into acting. He was in this little movie called Sling Blade. He received the Premiere Performance Award at the 57th Annual Motion Picture Club Awards for his role as Doyle Hargraves in Sling Blade (1996)
Just a side note,I think maybe Dwight set the trend for skinny jeans back in the day
Dwight has so many great songs, you literally have only scratched the surface.
A favorite artist of mine love him love you
Fast as you is another great one
Another vote for “1000 Miles from Nowhere”.
