Dwight Yoakam : What You Don't Know

[Charlenee13]

These "home" videos are like being there and show it's the man not the producer

[longjonwhite]

WOoaahh ! It's like these guys came round and took down my two Martins. Guess I'm just braggin but aint thems a D35 on Dwight and a D28 on the guy who's trying to see his changes, and keep up, (as I am). ?

gotta love this one.

[tsyetsq]

Dwight. long time since that tune was new. still holds its own.

[GeorgeStrait1986]

Cute!~!~



[IJUSTCAME2PARTY]

love it!

[jagvocate]

Hotter than a Mexican hooker

[DYDreamin1]

Those are the most luscious lips I've ever seen! Love Dwight!

[Crackhouts]

@DYDreamin1 I'm as straight as they come, but Dwight is a sexy man! 

My wife and I joke that I have a man crush on him.

[MrBigKR]

This has always been one of my favorites from Dwight.

[ahdyend]

Badass!..

[alhendry1]

sounds early sun records

[alhendry1]

pure class

[rainkinggw]

Very Johnny Cash like... love it.

[wildblondeangel2000]

What a true song!!!

[san0n0fre]

to Dwight's left is Mr. Dave Alvin, pride of Downey, California and founding member of The Blasters.

[steelking22]

Dave is so cool, he's looking at Dwight's chords early in the song so he can jump in and jam ... dedicated musician and one very genuine man.

[64fairlane305]

is he a natural??

[LoneRanger19]

The guy beside him is an awesome guitar player...watches dwight's hand for the chords and picks it up right away.Nice wish I could do that

[jimmyskins]

Not to take anything away from Mr. Alvin, I'm sure he is a fine musician. But any player worth his salt could pick up on a tune like that. We have to if we're professionals...

[yogi2012]

Can you help out an amateur and tell me what those chords are?

[jimmyskins]

absolutely yogi2012! he's playing in the key of E (a key that Dwight favors). There are 3 chords used in this tune: the I chord (E); the IV chord (A); and the V chord (B). The verse goes back and forth from I to IV I (common rockabilly move), then it goes to the IV at the chorus, ending on the V chord and back to I. Not much space to get into detail here, but just play along and use your ears (be aware this performance/recording is a bit out of tune). Hope that's helpful, happy pickin!

[yogi2012]

thanks

[taoistcowboy123]

Wow!

[BenHallove]

Can I be your special loved one at home Dwight ? ;)

[Champ24isUnderrated]

the perfect country voice. the definition of country vocals right there.

[valverdista]

No doubt, it is Dave Alvin, and Charley Pride too, I guess.

[nomansblonde]

AMEN TO THAT

[jtma65]

It's funny. This song takes me back to greats like Roy Acuff and Kitty Wells. That down home country sound that makes you take notice.

[DirkLaguna]

Yup, that is Dave Alvin....

[Jeffro321]

Is that Dave Alvin playin guitar with d. y.?

[isconnie]

Love that Voice!!! Makes me smile :D

[kayteekaye]

"To my special loved one at home" hmmmm.... wonder who that was, he'll never "KISS AND TELL"

[Yoakamfan]

Oh Wow Thank You

I hadn't seen this before.

[lynage1]

As a poet....he ranks with the best, as an entertainer..same, same...but he always has that sense of mystery about him and it only adds to his brilliance!!!

[kamckenzie]

I really love everything Dwight sings and plays but this is truly awesome. I believe he is better live than on records if this is possible.

[CarolineLittlewolf]

Eastern Ky. Mountain Man...I Love It! Thanks sFV.

[dwightmusic]

I love this version of the song!!

[rettalm]

Thanks for the video, soFein. I may have to rethink being his girlfriend now!

[Joanna129]

LOL retta!
