Dwight Yoakam - Close Up the Honky Tonks

[nothadnotbad]

if i were his drummer i would use a rim shot in the verse..

[jordanke100]

i have seen dwight yoakam 3x .i enjoy listening to his music and watcching him on t.v and movies

[gheester60]

Aw that's right Buck Em' Dwight!  Buck would be proud.

[346and844]

I was in the audience for this performance. Television City is one of the best studios in the entire USA. Audiences are treated to the best in talent. We saw two nights worth of performances, all the blackout sketches, and some that didn't make it to air. Dwight and his band were very appreciative. Got to see Ian McKellen (Gandalf) do a sketch.

[4aceshigh1957]

the Mavericks playing backup is pretty cool!!

[angussss10]

@4aceshigh1957 It's only eddie perez playing from the 2nd mavericks band. He plays for Dwight full time now and rocks every night!!

[bob02vw]

The silver stratocaster looks a lot like one that Don Rich and Buck used to play. Thanks for posting this great song!

[revernd100]

@bob02vw Buck will roll over if you think that a Strat would be used in his sound. It has to be a Tele.

[jcraigb]

dwight is the only real honkeytonk singer out there man hes awesome buck would like this version i think

[froggiechar]

This is really a great rendition of this song...the BEST! Thanks for posting!

[froggiechar]

This is really a great rendition of this osng...the BEST! Thanks for posting!

[6stringgunslinger]

He'll blow you away live . The ticket is worth every penny.

[oakron]

Dwight Yoakam is the best country singer ever !!!!!!!!!!

[bernardfshannon]

I think an artist should change up a song and make it their own. If not, I will just listen to the original. This song was meant to be done more slowly and soulful like Dwight. Buck RIP would approve. :)

[bernardfshannon]

IMO, this is the best cover of the Buck Owens classic. Very nice!

[4aceshigh1957]

Eddie Perez from the Mavericks playing guitar, he's lights out!!

[jonathan1stewart]

I always imagine changing the words to this song to Close Up the Shopping Malls, so it would apply to my wife.

[BWoodley]

Dwight is always on key - maybe it's nor the original key, but he changes songs and usually makes them better. I love this version and excellent performance! It's soulful. Thanks for posting it.

[tmrqnn119]

Wowza.

[Glenda5257]

Dwight is Excellent.

Before My very Elderly Mom 89 Years Old Died She Thought He was Great , she Said He Has a Hot A'zzz. That's Cute for an Elderly lady To Say.

I Can't Believe Sharon Stone Said All Those Terrible Things about Him Years ago.

He is Truely a Great Artist , and Yes He does have a Cute A'zzz.

[bonneyblueband]

BUCK EM!

[bonneyblueband]

BUCKE EM!

[oakron]

Dwight is the Best EVER !!!!!!

[oakron]

Dwight is the BEST EVER !!!!!!!!!!

[ashuk1000]

The two minute longer version on his DWIGHT SINGS BUCK CD is easily the best track of an outstanding album. Dwight almost single handedly saved traditional country music, how anyone can say he can't sing is beyond me.

[tednetuno]

this guitar player was with The MAvericks in theirs last formation!! The guy is perfect!!

[littledash50]

love this makes you want to  dance!!!!

[dwightlover]

Dwight Yoakam the sexiest man alive. King of Country. Love ya.

[bowlin3483]

i know i'm gonna get yelled at 4 this one but in my opnion, dwight sucks!! he sounds awful. can't carry a tune in a bucket. proof is here. killing a perfectly good buck owens song

[tomacamp]

@bowlin3483 your an idiot. i guess you like taylor swift

[bowlin3483]

@tomacamp no i don't she sucks. she's killin country music. at least dwight isn't killin it like her. but i still think he can't sing

[NothingSacred27]

@bowlin3483 You do realize he's singing this song in a different key and a different style, don't you? I don't know where you got the idea that he can't carry a tune since he never strayed off key or out of tune anywhere in this clip.

[janakelliedylan]

i love it buck em

[janakelliedylan]

Dwight looks so good in those pants!!!!!! and love BUCKEM

[ringbolt9]

he is the best.....classic country sound lives with dwight

[ringbolt9]

awesome classic country.... steel guitar..you hardly hear any more

[LH98000]

Dwight got The Mavericks as a band!! I love them both!! Cool!! Greetings from Norway!!:-)

[miladymell]

Its more like the Mavericks got Dwight! Greetings from New Mexico.

[docsavage98]

Still like Buck Owens version a little better...faster paced and more honky tonk sound

[evetsgolb]

the man is a great singer songwriter

[JoleeMckenzie]

i still love him..

[kah409]

20 years ago I thought this guy was a jocker. But now with Waylon and Ledoux both passed this guy sounds better every year.

[Sunrise3393]

Wow! He is so irresistible!

[nagasama75]

this man, along with george strait, keep the REAL heart of country music alive. "who's gonna fill their shoes?" asked by George Jones....these guys are doing it.

US REDNECKS DOWN HERE IN TEXAS LOVE YOU DEE-WITE.

[boogertoots]

Yeah, it's just too bad that Dwight does not get much airplay any more.

There has been a murder on Music Row.

Dwight, wow what a song! "Is there anything Dwight can't sing? I don't think so." He is one of the best there is. And cute to boot.
