More quotes by Dwight Yoakam
Country music originates with the colloquial, rural aspects of white America. It's really, truly, rural white America's blues.
Dwight Yoakam
In the dark morning silence, I placed a gun to her head. She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead.
Dwight Yoakam
We started shooting, and then Jodie found out she was pregnant. Forest broke it to me - he'd gone to work and heard it on the radio! It seemed like the movie was doomed. But, like these characters, there was a disregard for all the signs along the way.
Dwight Yoakam
It's more in retrospect as I've thought about it over the years and look back at what I wrote, how I wrote things - like there's a song that Ralph Stanley later recorded with me that he had guested on my record what was called Travelers Lantern that I wrote as basically, you know, a hymn.
Dwight Yoakam
I'll never quit playing country music, or at least acknowledging it, always, as the cornerstone of what I am.
Dwight Yoakam
However you arrive at the ability to ignore self-doubt - if you can acquire it or possess it or find it or discover it - move beyond self-doubt.
Dwight Yoakam
I hope that books don't go the way of albums and CD, large format albums, and physical product.
Dwight Yoakam
My parents were not affluent people and were not - didn't come from the extremities of education. My mother had a high school diploma. I often think I so wish she'd come out of the hills in Appalachia and been able to go on to college. I think she would have made a wonderful teacher.
Dwight Yoakam
I guess I stayed with the faith. I mean, organized religion is not something that I've maintained a direct connection to in my life, but the spirituality of it has had an indelible impact on my life and remains with me.
Dwight Yoakam
My guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on.
Dwight Yoakam
I embrace country music because of love, a love of what I came from.
Dwight Yoakam
No compression or as little as possible - that's how you get a good recording.
Dwight Yoakam
It's meant to reaffirm the validity of that music - clean, minimalist, honest, classic music.
Dwight Yoakam
Ironically, the success I've experienced at country radio has left me ostracized from pop and other formats of radio.
Dwight Yoakam
In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future.
Dwight Yoakam
I'm really proud of it. To me, it's a movie about character behavior and the pecking order of the pack, as well as the central character's massive survival guilt.
Dwight Yoakam
The congregation that I was raised in was one that sang and a non-instrumental fashion. It was all a cappella singing, and so that had a major influence on me.
Dwight Yoakam
As an artist, you have to maintain focus and eliminate the distraction of second-guessing yourself based on the opinions of others.
Dwight Yoakam
Music's the one thing I try not to analyze. I don't want to destroy the magic that has always been there for me.
Dwight Yoakam
I am probably the last of a generation able to gain an education in country music by osmosis, by sitting in a '64 Ford banging the buttons on the radio.
Dwight Yoakam
