Dwight covers these songs because he is paying tribute to those who came before him. He truly wants to keep country music alive. I also think he plays music that he likes. What is with all you haters? If you don't like him, don't watch. For me, I think his songwriting, singing, acting show a talent that is very rare. Hope you continue bringing us joy for a long time. I am a diehard DY fan and proud of it!
Jason Young, I agree 100% with you...came across this while looking for this song with my Dad during this cabrona pandemic. He's always liked this song by Mr. Horton & as a bonus I found Dwight singing it whom my Dad likes as well 👍. Good entertainment, making good memories with my Dad who turns 84 in October. Thank you UA-cam & my sister for installing the internet @ the beginning of this pandemic. ♥️💚 & ✌️ to all from small town USA, Pima, Arizona.
Wow... Don't know much about Dwight do ya. Dwight's original material was and is awesome. In many interviews Dwight praised the artists whose songs he covered and did so in his concerts before he would play them live. It was his way of keeping the old country new so the newer generations wouldn't forget the roots of country. In return, many old country artists like Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, George Jones, etc... praised Dwight for keeping their music alive and often collaborated with him.
What I love about Dwight Yoakam is that he stays true to HIS music. It is a revamped version of a great song. I could listen to both over and over and will never get tired of "America's Music".
Dwight might be the only really big country star that is a real country singer. This is great stuff. God bless Dwight Yoakam. And RIP Buck - we miss you so much.
yes he does! a n y t h I n g ! un be frickin' leavable. Love any cover he does. Claudette, If I were a carpenter- with Allison Krauss. The Man has Style and class and has always been humble enough to thank those that went before him. Take notice generation Me. Its not about the selfie...
Oh my, I never thought anyone could sing that as good as Johnny Horton, But Dwight just killed it. HE CAN REALLY sing that. I love It by Dwight, he is good, good & better, THE BEST.
yes north to alaska and with winter here in the north country jacob bertrand yes we can be friends and stay warm and have a good time the winter olympics is here and bobo sled racing is here have a good time every one eat well and drink good and god bless american bob sled team bring home the gold !!
I'm sorry I've never posted before, but the two below me who think Johnny Horton is spinning over in his grave are out of their minds. This is a great rendition of this song. I think Johnny is probably smiling ear to ear to hear that his music had such an influence on country music all these years later. You shouldn't hate so much. It's not that bad in life brother. Sorry I just couldn't believe someone would close their ears and mind so much.
I think you would have to include Rick Springfield as well. Saw him 3 times in concert - very good. His performance in the movie "Nick Knight" was amazing, and the movie is my favorite vampire movie of all time. I have seen Dwight once in concert - awesome, played 3 hrs.
Is he hiccuppin on cue? Anyway, real cool version. My dad, who's from New Jersey, wrote this tune back when he was a copywriter for 20th Century Fox in NYC in the 50's/60's. (He also wrote "Sink The Bismarck".) All them movie songs and sheet music about the trials and tribs of the tough old rugged west were written by guys in apartments in New York City. But so the hail what: they're great songs and this is a great version!
Great imagery Dwight, wow! you can almost see the Huskeys! A great version of the song which I've always loved by Johnny Horton, Thank you. I think you are a great performer.
that little "like" button is huge understatement; DY shd have his own button that maybe reads "obsessed, addicted, fixated and don't want intervention. Just leave me alone with my blessed high.
I had the great plaisur of meeting him, verry kind man..and he act just like you are me...the dosent try to be somebody... he's fin just like he is........and by the way so HOT. oufffff
LMAO! I can't understand why everyone is giving you thumbs down. Do they realize that was one of Dwights funniest lines from "Slingblade"? and runs the guy in the wheelchair into the front door lol. "All of you can get the fuck out!"

Dwight Yoakam can sing any song and do it justice.Love this mans voice!!!!!

Maria mother of Jesus!!! That voice. I'm 47. I was 14 when I first became aware of Dwight Yoakam. May our Lord keep him
This is true country music!
Great version of a great song.

I remember listening to Johnny Horton when I was a little kid. Dwight is amazing. One of a kind.
Great version of this song. Johnny Horton would be proud of Dwight's version of this song.
my Fav Johnny Horton song, my late dad used to love this song back in the day.
So lucky to see and hear Dwight when he came to Melbourne Australia some years back. A great talent who will be appreciated years from now.

U Said It! Wonderful Job, Love 2 hear U Sing Dwight!
Love to listen to him sing & dance around shows he loves it
Great song!!! Keep it up!!!!...To those who don't like his songs all they need to do is don't listen.
What I love about Dwight Yoakam is that he stays true to HIS music. It is a revamped version of a great song. I could listen to both over and over and will never get tired of "America's Music".
Pete Anderson & Don Rich - can't beat them.
Love you Dwight. You do this song justice! I'm an Alaskan gal.
Dwight might be the only really big country star that is a real country singer.
This is great stuff. God bless Dwight Yoakam.
And RIP Buck - we miss you so much.
Dwight is the ONLY singer who makes love to his songs.He seduces everything he sings.
yes he does! a n y t h I n g ! un be frickin' leavable. Love any cover he does. Claudette, If I were a carpenter- with Allison Krauss. The Man has Style and class and has always been humble enough to thank those that went before him. Take notice generation Me. Its not about the selfie...
Oh my, I never thought anyone could sing that as good as Johnny Horton, But Dwight just killed it. HE CAN REALLY sing that. I love It by Dwight, he is good, good & better, THE BEST.
I actually like his cover better than Johnny Horton'sJMO
Johnny H is truly great, but Dwight's kinda not human, he's so good. How exactly does he do it?
yes north to alaska and with winter here in the north country jacob bertrand yes we can be friends and stay warm and have a good time the winter olympics is here and bobo sled racing is here have a good time every one eat well and drink good and god bless american bob sled team bring home the gold !!
Dwight Yokam does a good job on this. Great Song. Great movie. I think both Johnny and the Duke would aprove
Love listening to Dwight, great voice, and he puts a unique phrasing on anything he sings.
Viva the music and memories of Johnny Horton!
Mr Yoakam's voice simply does things that others cannot. Good things, fortunately. He is a phenomenon. Nice touch with the classics, too.
Dwight Yoakam is a very special talent
God, do i love this guy! Pure country like it always has and always will be!
Dam I just all his music!!!!!!!
Thank you for this very special video of my music idol,the sublime Dwight Yoakam
Wasn't ripping off. He's reintroducing real country music to new generations.
He sings it his way and thats the respect thats earned, no disrespect to anyone, many versions of this song and this is D.W.'s, ...nice!!!!
Oh Dwight ,this is killer version..love it so much,love you too. Thank you for your singing
Dwight if your reading this you need to come up to Fairbanks, Alaska. So I can see you in person.
Loved any song Dwight sings love him💕💕💕💕
Great country song and great country singer !
Vip..from Brazil....tank, dy.
He is just incredible. So very talented.

It doesn't seem to matter who Dwight pays tribute to.He does it with all his heart and soul.
LOVE NORTH TO ALASKA LOVE DWIGHT WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM IN PERSON
Dwight and Pete = Pure Magic
Loved Johnny Horton version. But sometimes there’s has to be a few changes to make people stand up listen. To just how great this music really is.
He's a natural to cover Johnny Horton
Very nice - Great version's - Dwight's Country Style :)
That my favorite song
I think you would have to include Rick Springfield as well. Saw him 3 times in concert - very good. His performance in the movie "Nick Knight" was amazing, and the movie is my favorite vampire movie of all time. I have seen Dwight once in concert - awesome, played 3 hrs.
fantastic

Mr. Yoakum... the class act of the 21st Century! Johnny is smilin and tapin is toe..
Dwight does the best version of Ring of Fire. Never liked this song until I heard him sing it.
How sexy is his twang thing...so special the incomparable Dwight almighty..so loved.Happy New Year Dwight ,Emily and the adorable Dalton 2022/3
Why would he want to sing like Johnny Horton? He's Dwight Yoakam not Johnny Horton. He's not trying to be Johnny Horton, he's paying tribute to him.
This one is a winner too.
Great imagery Dwight, wow! you can almost see the Huskeys! A great version of the song which I've always loved by Johnny Horton, Thank you. I think you are a great performer.
Love It
that little "like" button is huge understatement; DY shd have his own button that maybe reads "obsessed, addicted, fixated and don't want intervention. Just leave me alone with my blessed high.
really great stuff I love country
Thank you for this awesome video.
Love Dwight
Dwight is also an underrated guitarist
Love how Dwight does that catch in his voice like the great Johnny Horton did.
Yes , excellent vocal effort . I believe AC/DC s Bon Scott was influenced by Horton as the same " catch " can be heard in many of his recordings
Excellent version!!
I hate to admit it, but the more I listen to this, I think I like the Dwight version more than I do the Johnny version.
ALL DAMM CLASS
❤️
yeah just superb....
Nicely done
This contry music .
This is WOW!!!!!
Excellent! Thanks for posting!
Damn,dwights got an awesome voice.
I had the great plaisur of meeting him, verry kind man..and he act just like you are me...the dosent try to be somebody... he's fin just like he is........and by the way so HOT. oufffff
Dwight this is is great , bb
that was a awsome video
Love Dwight, but Johnny Horton nailed this song.
very talented man
It's as good as it gets.
LMAO! I can't understand why everyone is giving you thumbs down. Do they realize that was one of Dwights funniest lines from "Slingblade"? and runs the guy in the wheelchair into the front door lol. "All of you can get the fuck out!"
best country sing by a country mile.
I'm with you Jason.
Pete Anderson is to Dwight as Don Rich was to Buck.
+Valerie Curtis
right on
absolutely. His music was never the same after they split.
Nice rendition
o wow i love this video great job

OMG 👄👄 HE'S GEORGOUS
garth brooks needs to listen to Dwight

i like it
I need to go to Alaska good gold there
@lonz46 Agree. Dwight will be remembered long after Garth Brooks.
aww memories..
I miss that low twangy baritone guitar from the recording. Pete looks like he’s playing an acoustic here instead.
PETE ANDERSON ROCKS!!!!
