Dwight Yoakam - Close Up The Honky Tonks (Official)

[airborneassasin]

I need to find me a mic stand like that !!

[curtispullyaskirtup]

directed by Fred Durst? then I saw that hat and fucking lost it!!!! hahahahha

[sent2protect]

a song that made me wealthy

[BugMusic1967]

Saw Dwight on his extended tour in Northern Michigan just before this album came out. The whole auditorium was drunk out of their skulls when the show was over. One of the best concerts ever. I'm glad his his two club dates in California turned into a nationwide tour. It really says something when towns across the country are practically begging you to perform for them. It was so spur of the moment that the t-shirts sold only had Dwight's name and the tour printed on them. Great times indeed.

[MrKmb17]

This is by far the very best version of this song.

[2003fordmustang281]

Those are some cool ass boots i might just have to find me a pair

[2003fordmustang281]

this is one fuck of a good song! 12 molson canadian later and this song just gets better and better!!!!!

[liz21UK]

Oh Wow! I love this singer, this song and this video. The arrangement of the song is fantastic and is worth listening closely to all the five plus minutes you get.

[kieser62]

I could sit on my back deck. Drink Beer and listen to this song all day. Thanks Dwight.

[Yotieman1]

What a great job of Bucks song

[airborneassasin]

I want a microphone stand like that . 

[grayisdabest]

never heard of this guy .. . as i do not listern to c+w but what i would like to say is FRED DURST WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?????

[airborneassasin]

@grayisdabest

there is nothing wrong with this video. Watch a few more Dwight videos and you'll see he's not a typical video kind of guy.

[katierinrin]

Very beautiful and romantic!

[SuperIvanGrozni]

Dwight Yoakam - Close Up The Honky Tonks (Official) Directed by Fred Durst ^^

[AbsAnon]

incredible video. and he's got a playing card design stitched into his boot! you don't get any cooler than Dwight, and he's done ole Buck damn proud with this album

[Sally3Bee]

Phew - he was gorgeous. Great track too.

[molymut]

i wouldn't go to no honky tonk if i had somethink like dwight beside me LMAO !!!

[Yotieman1]

@molymut 

[EquinoxMCSE]

A singer of country music that holds on to the old in a time of the new....

An inspiration and leader, a gift to country music as it is today,

An icon of what country is AND should be.......

Too much Bubble-Gum-Country music today... right Taylor Swift?

[shina51605]

@EquinoxMCSE u got that damn right!!

[jewels4490]

great video

[Anaheimfan]

I love the parts where he's just closing locks and tossing the keys away, it's real deep...Honestly, I think there are a lot of people who know how he feels in this video.  "It sure hurts t see her runnin with that crowd in town, but as long as there's a honkytonk, she'll never settle down."

[lewbowski3161]

WOW, truly one of the legends of country.

[FabianoBoiadeiro]

Big music!!!

[janeanniesmith832]

Great Singer

[MrTruckdrivinman]

i wonder who that lovely blonde girl next to dwight is?

[LH98000]

It's not easy to explain what this tune make me feel. I'm Norwegian and we're very hard psychic, but this song really moves me... Cheers from Norway!!:-)

[zoarces]

Great version. Love those shoes Dwight wear. I'd want a pair too!

[borncountryful]

Buck would be proud, Dwight gives such a

heartrending performance of this song.

BEAUTIFUL!! THANKS see ya bye

[CarolineLittlewolf]

I believe the dark haired woman,is the person Mr. Yoakam  acted with in the video: "I Want You..." Any comments on this? Thank You New West for sharing.

[thebagman41]

I guess close all competion I ain't that rich life is fair this vid is depressing! Or am I?

[nagasama75]

Lou

[darlincommitme]

Rather nice for a ranch house.

[shesdwightcrazy]

[mgoreham]

1. Take a deep breath

2. Think about the one you love

3. Press ''F10'' 5 time

4. Send it to 5 video on youtube

5. Look at your background

[peconangel]

He is so dam good looking he fits in them jeans just right huh mmmmmm

[gunsandhoses]

Don't know about the video, but it's a great rendition of a honky tonk classic song! Dwight puts an emotion in it that I had never heard with this song before.

[justjim122]

Who da heck is that blonde????  It's not Malin Akerman is it??

[tejamater]

i like this

[GeorgeStrait1986]

We listened to this song all the way to Wendover & back when we saw Dwight on the 18th~~

[bestringtail]

Dwight is one of the very few REAL COUNTRY sounds left today. What a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work Mr. Yoakam

[Lakeyhey]

Great song. We miss you Buck!!

[cherryred247]

Is this the video Fred Durst directed?

[booboorex1]

whats with the tomatoes??????

[aslugger07]

they remind him of his ex, sittin around eatin good sweet tomatoes with salt, its a southern thang

[Innuendoes]

He's a vegeterian.  Other than that, who knows? LOL

[blueskymut]

That sharp pain of his heart being cut out, let's add a little salt to the wound as she drives away again.

[1234343234543]

his heart??

[MickMarsFan1]

Gotta LOVE the leg swing!!!!!! lol and the blonde's not bad either

[nWo24life]

Give it up to Freddie D. directing!

[kix96fan]

man you gotta love the ol b5 organ growling away in the background

[TDHier]

a country music legend!

GOD BLESS YOU DWIGHT!

and R.I.P. King Buck!

[GeorgeStrait1986]

First of all Syudu.. dont write nasty crap on my profile....you dont even know how to spell the word orgasam it's>> orgasm!!!! I doubt if you ever had one! So go play with yourself!

[Syudu]

orgasam..

[BenHallove]

Dwight the hottest thing ever ;)

[RattlerMan33]

boy if ole gram could have got together with dwight that would get it done for sure!!!

[rgdodgeman]

this song is awsome BUCK EM !!!!!!

[GeorgeStrait1986]

This whole cd is So Wonderful~ Im So Happy I bought it~~ Dwight never lets his fans down~~ He puts out the Best music~~ I Love him so much~~~~

[xtremeattack]

It's dwight at his best!!!

[hakamere]

love the slow motion of that womens legs at the start of the clip

[GeorgeStrait1986]

I love the spin Dwight puts on this song!! WOW!~~

[islandguy911]

gram parsons use to sing this, I think dewight is singing this in the stlye off gram, he dearly loved the guy's music and so do I, love buck too, rest in peace the both off you

[GeorgeStrait1986]

Hey... if I was his girlfriend... I'd be stayin' home with him 4 sure!!~ ;)

[mistercoors]

Who is the girl in the video?Someone said it is Bridget Fonda.I don't think it is.

[6gentex]

The blond in the white dress and hot stockings is Bridget Fonda.

[BloodNGutts]

Great Buck tune  !!!

[svufanalltheway90]

omg hes sooooooooo cuteeee

[RILODICKSTEIN]

The man has defined his own sound, he is a hell of a songwriter, an actor and director. Dwight is the shiznit. If you dont like dwight yoakam, you are seriously confused. You know he is the man when they are putting out a dwight yoakam cover album done by other artists, and he is still kicking arse.

[doutzen177cm]

:D Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­ii

[hidrotejano]

i love dwight eres magnifico

[TheGregWoodBand]

wow love the tempo change, good call on this cover!

[smitty54017]

Ditto. I think this is the best song on this album. It's a cover, but Dwight made it his own. He took a honky tonk song and made it pretty.

[countryboiii08]

LUV da Way He Dances In Every Video

Been A Dwight Fan Since Childhood

Luv His Boots Aswell

AwSome!

[johnloni]

wow je tripe bin raide sur la toune garde si une personne du quebec qui chante comme lui je veux le savoir parce que je partirais un hommage a dwingnt pis vous seriez le chanteur wow merci encore

[JunaDowns01]

I wish I was the chick in this video, I would love to dance up next to Dwight. His voice, his music, his moves always makes my day. I so adore and appreciate this very talented man. Thanks Dwight!!!!

[Leylimine]

Dwights music sounds better and better each time i hear it.

[dukanemydobe]

love it all his songs and his sexy jeans

[dukanemydobe]

wow he is so sexy love his tight jeans awesome man, love you dwight,

[shyozz]

Not only is Dwight a great singer and song writer he is verrryyy sex. This is not meant to be R rate it is just the plain truth. He has his own moves like Elvis had his own and it just says sexy.

[redwitchrocks]

the guy is just fuckkin amazin!!!

[anz2161]

just get better with age

[benjaminjamiahjammin]

i bet it was freds idea for dwight to wear that damn red baseball cap!

[broncose1]

I've never heard this before. I really like it. 5*****'s and thanks to J.T. for sending,

Shirley

[sharry63]

Love this song....but ya..what is it that I don't like about Dwight?  He's fanastic

[rknowledge]

I would buy anthing Dwight does and always love it. Ran through this one time and always had to go back to this track. 100% awesome redition. Quite the tribute to Buck, who will live on forever.

[nazznate]

if you are not a fan of dwights this should change you mind. i absolutely love it.

[therandomherrro]

damn, such a distinct voice, gotta love it. Dwights freakin badass

[usmcmike1978]

This is country at its best, im shocked this video doesnt have more hits, Dwight is True Country, Just Classic,

[spindoctorsrule]

Dwight is the best country artist out there today.

[mistercoors]

This song is on Dwight's latest cd,DWIGHT SINGS BUCK.One of the best cd's he has done,in my opinion.

[RodneyDavenport]

It's a decent CD. Normally, I am of the opinion that Dwight can make ANY song better. But when I want to hear some Buck, I want to hear some BUCK. With that said, this is the best song on the album and it's a phenomenal rendition! I can't hardly turn it off!

[shakey64]

Im huge fan of Dwight..and even more fan of Buck..Love the new cd. This video is icing on the cake. He does great version. Cool video...Love all the stockings/nylons shots..LOL!!

[lynage1]

The man is magnetic !!! Not to mention his voice, perfect pitch music students...and excellent execution ..this Fred Durst video has a subtle maddnes to it....pure betrayal ,what can be worse and Fred and Dwight pulled it off. I am most impressed by Dwight's intelligence....the man can intellectulize with the best...at first I thought ONLY YOU should have been his album choice, I still hope he'll make a video of it....Dwight is the shinning star of country!!!NewWestRecords BEST!!!

[isconnie]

Feeling blue in California :(

[isconnie]

WHAT A GREAT TALENT!!! This video reminds me of Montana. That's the last time I saw him perform. If I was his woman I wouldn't have to come back, I'd never leave!!! ;P :D

Can you get a two seater for that tractor? :D

[sarahcisley]

Guilty. I really like Big & Rich BUT no one, and I mean, no one sings soulful country music like Dwight. He's the best. Really like the video but ah, that voice, reigns supreme!!! I agree with those who say not enough of Dwight on the country stations and I was so mad that Feb was GAC Dwight month, oh REALLY??? You hardly saw a thing on him. A real insult.

[tylercaskey8]

dwight is the best.his style this day in age is unique. its obviously a tribute to his idol buck, but i wish this is what country music would be today. people like kenney chesney and folks like that are pop artists with a bit of twang

[6gentex]

It's Bridget Fonda. An old squeeze.

[sarahcisley]

Are you sure??? Where did you get your information? I was wondering who it was but it doesn't look like her to me (haven't seen a photo of her in ages though...).

[hondarider2112345]

i love this dudes voice..

its awesome..

[mistercoors]

Does anyone know who the girl is in this video? Perhaps Dwight's main squeeze?

[barrybocho]

This is so good. Dwight will be at the new wagon wheel santee, california in may

[mistercoors]

I saw a Dwight concert in Macon,Ga. last year. It was great.The DWIGHT SINGS BUCK cd is one of his best.If you don't have it,get it.

[userx100]

Much better than new country people like big and rich who tarnish the country music scene. But boy is dwight yoakam..Still amazingly good.

[HopNPlop]

way past cool, great song, great performance - like buttah

[UltraMan1970]

The first line of this song is a classic Bucks Owens line...."She's in some honky tonk tonight, I know" very cool.

[ll071290]

godddd.

dwight's voice is so amazing, unlike any other.

soulful...soulful country that's what it is.

lol.

looove it. grew up with his stuff, and he's still rockin it.

♥♥♥

[bill9669]

real country

[Nessus07]

Good performance....wonderful video. In a word, it's just "cool". Well done.

[Murdock22222]

how the hell does dwight get fred durst to direct this? I thought dwight was the only commercial country singer not selling out.

[neinarn]

This is new to my ears, but sails up to be a favourite song. Dwight really knows to perform the soul of a song

[lynage1]

Am more than a fan....I see in Dwight the true empirical singer of "any kind ", every kind, and all kinds of music...if you want to just see the country in dwight it's there, but so is the " Clash" and so is Elvis... Mr. Yoakam is the reigning King of vocals and original lyrics....When and if you study his body of works...you will see brilliance and true dedication to his craft....this video proves it....Buck and Dwight...did they ever frequent the Gutheries Ally Cat?

[krusherkoxx]

AWESOME song, video, and CD. Too bad Dwight can't get much airplay on a MAJORITY of Country stations. I think it's a bunch of bullshit that you have to have a "pop-ish" sound anymore to get airplay. BRING BACK THE CLASSIC SOUNDS!!!

[noaa555]

Amen!!

[kennysgirl510]

Thank god for Dwight keeping's Buck Memory alive what a great job dwight keep it up

[2koolbenny1eye]

Man i grew up on Buck's music, it's like a religion to me,and I would spit on anyone who would and has screwed it,but Dwight bust's the seed right out of that peach!God bless him for keeping Buck's memory alive.Viva la musica

[oldstuff]

I've never been a huge fan of Dwight's music but this cover version is awesome and the whole of the Buck Owen's tribute album he has done is well worth a listen.

[dwtykm]

In a class of his own. The album is awesome as well. Add it to your collection... Dwight fans.

[CarolineLittlewolf]

Since I have lived through the original,Mr. Owens, singing the song. Now living through Mr. Yoakam, singing the song. It's hard for a Kentucky Woman to pick who she enjoys most...Sing on Eastern Ky. Mt. Man...

[angelbbe64]

i so love this video iam a big fan of dwight i love all his music

[Crazy4DwightYkm]

I so love this video!! Dwight Sings Buck rules!! Best CD I have bought in a long time!

[houstonfire62]

a great one for all of us that has been through this with a woman!! or the woman with us?

[StratAce]

great vocal..great concept..real life

[caro103]

Surely the Honky Tonk woman is Susan Sarandon !

Well done Dwight, every one a winner.

[noaa555]

Love it

[karldonald]

except steve earle no one comes close

[countrygerry1]

great video thanks, countrygerry1

[grandmabigbutt]

Great Video

[grandmatinny41]

This is pleasing to the ears and the eyes.

[24Lancelot]

The scene from 3:10 to 3:37 I and I think many men can relate to. Woman left, you're in sorrow, you think she's there...but she isn't and the pain hits.

Most country songs are about a woman leaving and the pain, but Dwight seems to sing about it better than anyone.

[rusty8645]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wildcatblues]

That sure does look like Bridget Fonda....can anyone confirm whether or not it is her? She is HOT! Best song Dwight has had in years! Great job!

[24Lancelot]

The other chick, shaving her legs and wearing the slip...she's pretty hot, too! Nice sweater kittens getting ready to fall out!

[agreen123]

Durst is a genius!

[guitarocker62]

awesome.

[texasoutlawss]

dang he's old now dude

[24Lancelot]

I couldn't believe he's 51. He's starting to look like it, but he don't act like it.

[karldonald]

shook the mans hand once he is cool and talented karl

[rocznrowsez]

can we "buck im" for those boots?... I would stay out of honkey tonks just for him, tomatoes?? what a card (smiles)

[24Lancelot]

I would have never guessed Fred Durst directed this. Same dude that is with LB?

[Devilman2012]

yep, durst still hangin around these days, just not infront of the camra as much & shit

[hysdrjl]

I love seeing this video, especially when the part where dwight Yoakam sit at the table all by himself you'll see on his left cheek you'll see a tear rolling down his face.

[0pheliadickie]

OK, first things first: Wonderful production, powerful yet still somehow understated, the epitome of Dwight's take on music that means so much to him and more importantly, to me (this is subjective stuff, hoss). Even here in the UK I have been able to catch DW live 5 times and I think the secret to appreciating his bag is to realise that we are growing older together. Poignant yet edgey.

[Aeoquis]

Wouldn't care if he was in bibs, long-handles and cap...in fact he could take his hat off, Dwight has it going on. This is a great song, and imo is at the right cadence for the message being conveyed: heartbreak. Good job, cowboy!

BTW, that's not Bridget Fonda.

[orangeblueandlavenda]

honestly i don't know how we are supposed to compete with bridget fonda, sharon stone, & winnoa judd - capitol greifers.

[orangeblueandlavenda]

he has a really nice voice, not sure about the bridget fonda thing, i liked her movie years ago(point of no return),however in this video he reminds me of my grandfather with the overalls, the thermal underwear, and the tomatoe.

[hairburnerr]

Isn't that a VERY blonde and young looking Bridget Fonda in the white dress?She must be like 44years old... but looks 24. Didn't she and Dwight break up years ago? Must be they are still friends?

[danderblut]

omfg i love this song. so does my dad.

[maggiemae42]

Not Bad are you kidding! Dwight is hotter than ever!

[kissunmasked1980]

Not bad !

[ingram1958]

Love this song so much,thank you for posting....

[kurtlangmann]

So, is this video a Slingblade parody?

[DirkLaguna]

ok, I'm a HUGE Dwight fan, but the Flying Burrito Bros. version is superior...sorry Dwight, just not digging it

[LacyMay1388]

I swear he looked at me at a show once! ha

He's just so forlorn and theres somethin so damn mysteriously sexy about him....

-Lacy May :)

[yoakamnut]

Makes me cry... when I see that tear on his face... oh my gosh... he is so gorgeous

[grungeitup01]

Dwight will go down as the coolest cat ever in the country genre. He's one of the very few who can keep a traditional sound, yet remain contemporary, much like Vince Gill and George Strait. I've seen him live, and he is NO JOKE. His vocals, guitar chops and overall performing abilities are tighter than virtuallly every other male artist in country. Keep rockin, Dwight!

[karldonald]

he is numero uno

[elizabethjamespenyla]

is Dwight Yoakam married?

[dwightlover]

no thank god

[elizabethjamespenyla]

hahaha lovely thermal underwears!! Does he sit at a table in overalls with thermal underwear eating a tomatoe on a regular basis?

[canice123]

Sorry, make that lunchtime!

[canice123]

Please HELP..I can get the video but there is NO sound. I already have the CD as I pre-ordered it . I teach 4th graders , I have a knitting club and at lunctime today only the boys turned up and they were knitting and listening to track 15 over and over and over again and singing along with Dwight. PRICELESS! Buy the CD and listen to TRACK 15.

[goodwitcheast]

love it love it love it!!!

[CarolineLittlewolf]

Tears your heart out...Keep singing Mt.Man...Thank you New West.

[bmhr]

Fucking Great & Worth the Wait! See you in Austin, D-Wight.

[Fayt22]

simply beautiful.

[dagny1207]

So true:-)

[omacando2001]

who has not felt Heartbreak ? he makes it feel real,his Tears,his Pain..it breaks mein Heart all over again.......did notice und wundered after watching many many times....some scenes he wears his wedding band...some no....am i missing the point ?..w/d Mr.D
