Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam is an American country singer-songwriter and actor known for blending traditional country and honky-tonk with Bakersfield-style twang and rock-influenced roots elements. His recordings often feature sharp, nasal vocal delivery and twangy electric guitar arrangements that combine upbeat honky-tonk numbers with more reflective ballads, and he has been associated with a late 20th century revival of Bakersfield-style country. He has also worked as a film actor.
