Happy Birthday, #DwightYoakam! "Dwight Yoakam first came to Nashville in 1977, because ‘I assumed they were still making country music here.’ Yoakam’s goal was - and still is - to revive the hard honky-tonk country of Buck Owens and Johnny Horton, but he discovered that Nashville was more interested in what he has termed ‘B-grabe pop-schlock horseshit.’ ‘They said, ‘It’s too country,’ ’ Yoakam says of Nashville’s response to his music. ‘We’re not really looking for stuff that’s quite that straight ahead. Maybe if you moved down here and we got you to co-write with some of our people…’ Yoakam found his early Nashville experiences ‘very unfulfilling.’ ‘I took this music to the rock & roll clubs to test the water,’ he recalls, ‘to see if they really were serious about listening to country music. And, turns out, they were. Same kids that’ll listen to Black Flag will listen to Buck Owens.' 'Rock fans have a natural affinity for hard country music,' Yoakam explains, ‘because Hank Williams was the first rock & roller. Because honky-tonk, as a farm, was the white parent of rock & roll, as jump blues was the black parent.’" - From the December 18th, 1986 issue of @Rolling Stone. Photograph by Lisa Haun
