From his formative years playing pure, hardcore honkytonk for mid80s Los Angeles punk rockers through his subsequent surge to the top of the country charts, Dwight Yoakam has enjoyed a singular career. An electrifying live performer, superb writer, and virtuosic vocalist, he has successfully bridged two musical worlds that usually have little use for each othercommercial country and its alternative/Americana/rootsrocking counterpart. Defying the label too country for rock, too rock for country, Yoakam has triumphed while many of his peers have had to settle for cult acceptance. Four decades into his career, he has sold more than 25 million records and continues to tour regularly, with an extremely loyal fan base.In Dwight Yoakam, awardwinning music journalist Don McLeese offers the first musical biography of this acclaimed artist. Tracing the seemingly disparate influences in Yoakams music, McLeese shows how he has combined rock and roll, rockabilly, country, blues, and gospel into a seamless whole. In particular, McLeese explores the essential issue of authenticity and how it applies to Yoakam, as well as to country music and popular culture in general. Drawing on wideranging interviews with Yoakam and his management, while also benefitting from the perspectives of others closely associated with his musical success (including producerguitarist Pete Anderson, Yoakams partner throughout his most popular and creative decades), Dwight Yoakam pays tribute to the musician who has established himself as a visionary beyond time, an artist who could title an album Tomorrows Sounds Today and deliver it.
