Who was/is Dwight Yoakam ? - CDs, Vinyl LPs, DVD and more

Geb. 23. 10. 1956 in Pikeville - Kentuck.
Record Labels: Oak, Reprise.
Erster Top Ten Hit: Honky Tonk Man (1986).

Dwight Yoakam, eine der wichtigsten Neuentdeckungen des Jahres 1986, ein Sänger, der die Country Traditionalisten genauso zu begeistern versteht wie die Punk Rocker. inzwischen zählt Dwight Yoakam zu den sogenannten neuen Traditionalisten, ein erfolgreicher Sänger, dessen Namen man in einem Atemzug mit Randy Travis, Ricky Skaggs, Reba McEntire und George Strait nennen muss.

Dwight Yoakam schlug sich zunächst mit seiner Musik durch die Bars und Honky Tonks seiner Heimat Kentucky. Nashville ließ er links liegen, denn die Musik die man dort spielte, war ihm zu glatt. Er zog an die Westküste, nach Los Angeles, und spielte im Vorprogramm von Gruppen wie Los Lobos, Lone Justice und The Blasters. Dann produzierte er für Oak Records eine Mini-L.P. mit insgesamt sechs Nummern unter dem Titel Guitars, Cadillacs Etc. Es war eine Platte, die zunächst als Geheimtipp gehandelt wurde, doch dann, wie das Schicksal manchmal so spielt, von Reprise Records um vier weitere Songs aufgestockt als Normal-L.P. mit dem gleichen Titel in den Handel kam. Dwight Yoakam, der geradezu militant für eine kraftvolle, authentische Country Music eintritt, wird zweifellos seinen Weg machen.

Mit einer Stimme ausgerüstet, die manchmal etwas an die von Lefty Frizzell erinnert, singt er die alten und auch die neuen von ihm geschriebenen Songs mit einem Feeling, das immer wieder an die großen alten Stars der 30er, 40er und 50er Jahre erinnert, an Künstler, deren Stimmen und deren Einfühlungsvermögen noch unverdorben waren vom Einfluss moderner Zivilisation. Da wird die Natur, das ländliche, das bäuerliche Element wieder freigelegt und aufgewertet, so, als hätte es die Rockmusik mit ihrer mechanisch-hämmernden Brutalität und ihrer lärmenden Dissonanz nie gegeben. DwightYoakam, ein Musiker, der eine menschliche Musik für Menschen macht."
