With a career spanning more than 3 decades, Dwight Yoakam is one of the oldest and most unique voices in the history of modern country music. Right from the very start, he had a direct take on honky tonk that did not sit well with the overwhelmingly samey commercial country music that was popular at the time. Undeterred, he performed in a variety of venues that were more accustommed to punk music, gaining country music a whole new fanbase, gathering followers and friends from the rock genre who helped him achieve commercial success, and ultimately breaking down the barriers between country and rock!!
Today, he has recorded more than 21 albums, five of which have been number one hits, charted over 30 times on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts and sold over 25 million records. 12 of his albums are gold-certified, whilst the remaining nine are certified platinum, including the triple-platinum certified “This Time”!! In addition to his musical achievements, he had starred in multiple films, and wrote, acted in, produced and wrote the soundtrack for “South of Heaven, West of Hell.”
