Purveyor of the bakersfield sound, country singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam grew up in Columbus, Ohio before heading west and finding a home two doors down in Bakersfield, CA. "Honky Tonk Man" and "Guitars and Cadillacs" are classic songs in their own right, but nearly every song Yoakam churns out stays true to his sound and finds popularity among modern country fans, despite the saturation of the pop-oriented contemporary Nashville sound. The most recent release, "Blame the Vain" continues in the routine of solid albums from Mr. Yoakam.

Dwight Yoakam
(johnny cash, glenn douglas, lillie mcalpine)
Just around the corner theres a heartache
Down the road all losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops my friend
Ill meet you at the home of the blues
I walk and I cry as my heartache
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun never shines through this window of mine
Its dark here at the home of the blues
But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that I cry
Dreams that Ive had left me feeling so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die
So if you just lost your sweetheart
And you aint got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
Ill meet you at the home of the blues
But this place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that I cry
Dreams that Ive had left me feeling so bad
That I just want to lay right down and die
So if you just lost your sweetheart
And you aint got no good way to choose
Come follow me, misery loves company
Youre welcome at the home of the blues
Ill take you to the home of the blues
