Dwight Yoakam is a multi-platinum recording artist with many number one albums and singles, as well as multiple Grammy wins. But despite all his accomplishments as a musician, including his new album Brighter Days, Dwight is just as comfortable being a music historian. Dwight helps Marc chart the movement of country music to California, with Americana music of the mid-20th Century blending with rock and punk to create a unique sound that Dwight was a distinct part of. They talk all about The Byrds, Creedence, The Blasters and many more, in addition to Dwight’s new adventures as a first-time dad.

Alright, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers, what the fuck buddies, what the fuck nicks, what's happening? I'm Marc Maron, this is my podcast. Welcome to it. Looks like, I don't know what happens every year, I guess it's an end of the year thing, but I get these little sort of message requests and DM sort of things from random people, fans, showing me the listings of their...
und wir sind noch da, zumindest für einige Leute, was schön ist. Es ist ein langer Zeitraum. Wir haben das ein langer Zeitraum gemacht. Ich weiß nicht, wie viele. Ich weiß nur, es ist viel. Und wir halten sie aus. Für dich, für deine Erfreulichkeit. Jeden Montag und Dienstag. Ein neues Show. Für dich. Und wir machen noch mehr Sachen. Für Bonus-Sachen. An der A-Cast da.
Es ist viel zu sprechen für viele Jahre zu vielen verschiedenen Leuten und einfach aus meinem eigenen Gehirn. Und heute auf dem Show habe ich mit Dwight Yoakum gesprochen. Nun, die meisten Leute wissen, wer Dwight Yoakum ist. Er ist Sänger, Songwriter und Schauspieler. But he also turns out to be quite the music historian and raconteur.
He's had multiple number one albums and number one singles, multiple Grammy wins. He's also an actor who's been in movies like Sling Blade, Panic Room, Logan Lucky. We talked about none of those. But he's got a new album out called Brighter Days. And I never know, you know, sometimes people come around and I have opportunities to talk to them. And if I have interest, I'll talk to them.
But, you know, when you're dealing with a musician, A lot of times guys have been around a long time and maybe they were part of other musical outfits, musical bands, whatever. You know, they're still working away. All this to say that Dwight's new record, I listened to it and right out of the gate, I was like, holy fuck. Every song on there is a banger, as they say.
Just really fully realized songwriting is good, the guitar sound is great, the band is great. It's called Brighter Days. And I was so excited to just turn that record on or listen to it on my phone and just be like, holy fuck, he's really still doing it. So it was a pleasure to talk to him. Usually I can sort of find a way in through the new work, but with Dwight, this dude likes to talk.
