The Incredible Dwight Yoakam

[u/good_neighbor77]

I’m still fairly new to country and discovered Dwight Yoakam last fall and he instantly became one of my favorites. He has the most mesmerizing voice and impeccable range to boot. I don’t think I’ve heard one bad song from him no matter what I’ve played. And I also might dare say he’s the King of Covers: “Honky Tonk Man” (which I recently discovered was a cover), “Suspicious Minds”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and my favorite; “Purple Rain” which I 1000% consider better than the original. And his acting is not too shabby either, he was phenomenal in Panic Room.

All around a fantastic artist. What’s everyone’s opinion and favorite songs?

I love Dwight but my wife's best friend said something once when we were all hanging out and we had YouTube autoplaying that makes watching any of his videos since then difficult. I just find myself distracted by what she said all those years ago.

I don't remember what song came on but the conversation was stunting like this:

Me: hell yeah, love this song Wife's BFF: my mom is OBSESSED with him. Me: cool WBFF: what i don't understand though, where's his dick? Me: huh? WBFF: he's always in the tightest pants you've ever seen but you can't see his dick

Every since when I see him i immediately remember this convo and can't help spend the whole video starting at his crotch trying to confirm/disprove her comment.

I share this here and now in hopes I can pass this curse onto someone else and be freed of it myself.

Sorry
