Do you think all that Elvis guy’s songs are much better when covered by someone else? I do.

Fair, I wasn’t raised on him and never cared for his music, but I have come across a few covers of his songs I really like. I’m always surprised when I look up the origin.. oh, that guy lol. 

Dwight's my man!

I'm not a huge country music fan but, somehow, Dwight rocks my world.
:)

I think he's a decent actor, too! I like very little country, also, but I really like some songs and artists. 

He was pretty sexy in this video! :)

Wow! Few people with whom I hang know Yoakam has been in movies, in all sorts of roles, even besides acting - - producing / directing // etc.! I agree with you on his acting ability! :)

I saw him in concert once -- I really enjoyed the concert.

I've pointed him out in 'Panic Room' to people and they're astounded that it's him! 

Some people are multi-talented with big time talents! :)

Definitely!
:)

And who's the guy who appears (with no credit) in a movie where he's just a passenger in an elevator? I can't remember -- don't know if that is Yoakam in "Panic Room" or some other guy in some other movie.

I know he's credited in Panic Room. I'm not sure what that is. 

I don't either. :P

And, yes -  no surprise to the world - - I find him attractive in that video, too! :)

 

  Don’t you just hate it when you have to admit that you agree with Randy D about something? Grrrrrrrrr.

Ha!
:)

I'm getting used to it, actually. 

I hate hate hate most country music but I always loved Dwight Yokum lol. I don’t know what it was about him but I loved the whole album this song was on of his and I remember it well. I’ll forgive you be like Randy for remind me of Dwight. Now I want to rewatch sling blade.   

LOL!

Yeah, Sling Blade is amazing. 

I haven't seen it in a million years, I need my Yokum fix now lol. I could post a question about his music but doubt I’d get much back here on it. I’ll just watch his movie soon :)  

"Sling Blade" -- yup!

And, if you haven't already, check out his "South of Heaven, West of Hell" movie he directed.

:)

 

Thanks, never heard of it, I will :) 

Cool! I enjoyed it. And I like his music in the movie, too.
:)

And in case you don't see my reply to Camera Obscura --  if you haven't seen it, check out "South of Heaven, West of Hell" movie he directed. He does all the music in it, too.
:)

That cast looks good! 

I almost watched a new-to-me movie last evening. I'll try this one next. If I can stream it free somewhere...

:)

Cool.
I don't remember a lot of details but I remember enjoying it and finding it interesting. Again, something about Yoakam stuff appeals to me, no matter how he is involved. Something about his art work strikes a chord with me.

I couldn't stream it free, but I'm going to keep looking for it! 

I get what you're saying. Honestly, I think the point to art in all forms is to express something that hopefully someone else can appreciate and relate to (or strike a chord with, as you put it).
