More quotes by Dwight Yoakam
But that is a valid, continuing service that that music - which is, in some cases, 80 or 90 years old - is rendering. And proving its own timelessness.
Dwight Yoakam
[My grandfather -a miner] had black lung, and he didn't talk about it much. It's almost like a combat veteran. But he witnessed some horrific things.
Dwight Yoakam
I like order. It allows me to have chaos in my head.
Dwight Yoakam
In retrospect I wrote things about my life and my family's existence, I realized that it was a frighteningly harsh way to make a living. And I used to say that they were slowly dying trying to make a living.
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
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
In the dark morning silence, I placed a gun to her head. She wore red dresses, but now she lay dead.
Dwight Yoakam
In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis.
Dwight Yoakam
Country music originates with the colloquial, rural aspects of white America. It's really, truly, rural white America's blues.
Dwight Yoakam
It's meant to reaffirm the validity of that music - clean, minimalist, honest, classic music.
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
My guitars, Cadillacs, and hillbilly music Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on.
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
The actual work of recording a record or making a film just requires that you consciously block the time out to do that and nothing else. That's what I do.
Dwight Yoakam
I live out of cans a lot. But I try to indulge only in healthy canned food.
Dwight Yoakam
I don't regret any of the musical decisions I have made.
Dwight Yoakam
Another lesson about a naive fool who came to Babylon, and found out that the pie don't taste so sweet.
Dwight Yoakam
I wrote Miner's Prayer after [grandfather] died. I'd gone back to his funeral, and he died in 1979. And I came back to California, and I think a couple of weeks after that funeral wrote that song thinking about him, his life.
Dwight Yoakam
Ironically, the success I've experienced at country radio has left me ostracized from pop and other formats of radio.
Dwight Yoakam
