Happy Birthday Dwight Yoakam

A post for Dwight Yoakam's 60th birthday (October 23, 1956). Here he is covering "Superstar" a song made famous by the Carpenters, but written by Bonnie Bramlett and Leon Russell.

Guitars, Cadillacs

Today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Dwight Yoakam's first album—Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.— on August 19, 1986. Here is a performance of "Guitars, Cadillacs" from 1986.

The original version of "Train in Vain" by The Clash.



And here is Dwight Yoakam's countrified version, with Dr. Ralph Stanley singing back up.
