Tavis Smiley is an excellent interviewer. He asks good questions, then lets the guest answer fully. Dwight never disappoints, either.

Dwight Yoakam is the reason country music is awesome!!!!

I've been a fan of DW's music since first hearing him. Given his stage persona I would have never guessed how modest, charming, and articulate he is. Glad he's back to making music; he's aged well and he's one of a kind.

Oh no, no, no Dwight! You should NEVER have been a 'staff song writer" for anybody! NOBODY ELSE could ever do justice to what you write bc your heart and soul are in the lyrics, the music, the vocals, and the style of everything you do! Thank God you went West Coast!

Tavis Smiley is about the best interviewer there is.

6:43 mark. Boots are from Rios of Mercedes. Great custom factory where my grandmother was their bookkeeper back in the 70's. Mercedes, Texas

I remember his torn Jeans back in the 80s and 90s

Dwight Yoakam is a true class act still love him today

I JUST LOVE TO HIM DO AN INTERVIEW. HE IS SO OPEN AND EXPLAINS WHAT HE MEANS SO WELL. HE NEVER SEEMS NERVOUS OR UPPITY.

Where is Tavis Smiley these days? Loved him & of course, love Dwight since forever!

You always learn something listening to a Dwight Yoakam interview,love it.❤️🤠

Truly enjoyed this interview.

Love Dwight

"What sissy passed these out?!" Exactly, Dwight. LOL. I'm an old farm kid, and we've wondered that for years. Last rodeo we were at, I thought the helmets, masks, and flac jackets were the funniest things I'd seen in years.

For a man who claims to be “half literate” Dwight Yoakam is very articulate storyteller.

Great interviewer. Great interview... I like dwight

Love love love Dwight!!!

Love to hear him talk he is so knowledgeable 💙💙💙💙💋

One of the best interviewer ever! Tavis Smily! So laid back and his questions lead his guest to speak spontaneously that seemed like hours. Thoroughly enthralled with Dwight Yoakam. Who knew he was so funny and intelligent? Gah, never would have guessed and I can see why he such a prolific song writter, he never shuts up, I mean his tales lead on to others, etc. etc. Love his stage presence. I think he secretly took some of Elvis' moves, Elvis before he was censored. Really enjoyed this!

Dwight Yoakam forever, the King of Country😍😘🐎🌵

I'm addicted to his voice, He did ". Bakersfield with Buck Owens. What is his connection with Mexican norteno music? His music has a new norteño twist on it. He is definitely how country music should sounds like.

Did you get married finely if you did ihope she never hurts your to nice and kind hearted love ya my friend
