About Dwight Yoakam
Dwight Yoakam was born in Pikeville, Kentucky, and grew up in Ohio before moving to Los Angeles, where he played country in clubs better known for punk and roots-rock bands. His sound came from the twangy, electric honky-tonk of Buck Owens and the Bakersfield players, delivered with a high, clipped voice and tight jeans and a low-brimmed hat that became his look.
Guitarist Pete Anderson produced his early records on Reprise, starting with 'Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.', which included a cover of Johnny Horton's 'Honky Tonk Man'. Later hits included 'A Thousand Miles from Nowhere', 'Fast as You' and 'Ain't That Lonely Yet'. Yoakam also works as an actor, with a memorable turn as the abusive Doyle in 'Sling Blade'.
