Honky Tonk Tales / Dwight Yoakam
Tuesday, 17 February, 2026
On this episode of Honky Tonk Tales, we dive deep into the life and legacy of country music trailblazer Dwight Yoakam — the Kentucky-born traditionalist who brought Bakersfield twang back to life during one of country music’s slickest eras.From his early days soaking up the sounds of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, to getting told he was “too country” for Nashville, Dwight took the long road west — landing in Los Angeles and igniting a honky-tonk revival in the middle of the punk scene.We cover the breakout success of Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc., the platinum run of hits like “Fast as You” and “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere,” his unforgettable duet that helped revive Buck Owens’ career, and his surprising turn as an actor in films like Sling Blade.It’s a story filled with tight jeans, sharper Telecasters, industry rejection, bold reinvention, and one artist who never chased trends — he set his own lane and stayed in it.If you love real-deal country music, behind-the-scenes back stories, and a little humor with your heartbreak, this one’s for you.Pour something strong and press play.TexasRadioOne.com#HonkyTonkTales #DwightYoakam #CountryMusicHistory #BakersfieldSound #TraditionalCountry #GuitarsCadillacs #HonkyTonk #CountryLegend #NeonAndSteel #ClassicCountry #OutlawCountry #90sCountry #RealCountryMusic #BootsAndBuckles #CountryPodcast
