Dwight Yoakam

Overview

He's the king of country cool, a lethal combination of style, mystery, talent and skintight jeans. Dwight Yoakam's hardcore honky-tonk music was once rejected as too country for country music, so he took refuge in the West Coast cowpunk scene. After firmly establishing himself as a country music star, he took on Hollywood roles that would define him as not only a musician but as an acclaimed actor. Here, Yoakam opens up about his journey to fame, his private life and his fearless career. Other interviews include Shania Twain, Merle Haggard, Marty Stuart, Wynonna, Terri Clark and model Karen Duffy.
