Real Talk Tuesdays: Dwight Yoakam

DateTuesday, April 24, 2012 at 8:52AM

I do a lot of talking about hip-hop, soul and reggae here but I rarely touch on country music. Growing up in Indiana with a redneck older brother I was well-versed in the outlaw movement (which included greats like Wille Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard among others). I still appreciate those cats and with the exception of the alternative-country movement (Old 97s, Wayne Hancock, etc) my cut-off for country music lies firmly with Dwight Yoakam. The last true hillbilly. Here's one of my favorite cuts and the accompanying just-strange-enough video. Real talk? This dude is a mack. Dig.
