Favorite Dwight Yoakum song

I just love the guy. The Elvis Costello of country, I've heard him called. Here's my faves, in no particular order. Feel free to vote "other" and add comments.

Sling Blade, the movie.

I don't remember it.

Bunch of good songs to choose from. Nothing's Changed is probly my fave, with Thousand Miles a close second.

He's good at portraying violent rednecks on film, too. Kind of an unusual resumé.

Best Elvis remake I have heard in a while.

One of the few songs by a country artist that I like. I used to be a long haul trucker and that song was a great cruising song. The words are really easy to relate to if your a trucker.

Me.

This place will tell you lies
With each passing shadow
That goes by
But there's only one or two
At most just three
More likely none
That I still believe.

They'll say you're not alone
But don't listen to them
Tell that very long
I did then find out
Through misery
That the true population's me.

I used to look for days around
But no trace of her love
Could be found
I'd holler, cry out, beg,
And scream
Throw myself down,
Then start to plead
Searched for her heart,
'Til mine would bleed
Offered it up,
But there wasn't any need
Too late to care
She's no longer here
The population's me...

"This Time" is one of the few country cds I own

If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass!

I'm glad to see he has so many fans.

You got one of the country songs I secretly ;) like on the list.

Dwight Yoakum Sucks! YUCK!

PS: Your favorite artist sucks too.

;-)

Dwight Yoakam RULES!

:bounce:

("Fast As You" is the one!)

Great riff, although I voted for "Guitars, Cadillacs"

People actually like his singing????? He's just as bad as Bob Dylan! :puke:

That comment speaks for itself.

Turn it on Turn it up Turn me Loose!

I will listen to.
