It appears that Dwight Yoakam has his very own channel on the Sirius/XM radio

If you like country music, you ought to like Dwight Yoakam and the Bakersfield Beat ^ | 5/2/2018 | Me

I saw Dwight in a dive bar (the Drumstick) in Lincoln Nebraska right when “Guitars Cadillacs” was released. It was a great show and he came around and chatted with everyone in the crowd after his set was done.

Lots of cool bands played there back in the day. REM, Joan Jett, and another band I saw there during the college years, the Replacements. I had the unique honor of having Paul Westerburg jump on our table and dump a pitcher of beer on the head of my friend Dave. Ah the memories.

That is one scary list. Add to it anything by Starship in the late 80s and it ramps up to Stephen King horror level!

I agree that SiriusXM still has decent channels; I have a few dedicated favorites that are on my presets. They aren’t the most mainstream and I’m always worried that they might get squeezed out to make room for a Snoop Dogg or Gaga channel.

Preferred him when he was playing with Pete Anderson.

Very good information to know about the streaming plus the new Fleetwood Mac channel they created. Thanks!

[Blue Jays]

Sirius/XM also has to get a better handle on the “heavy rotation” that obscure songs occasionally receive.
In just a single week of randomly listening to Sirius/XM at different times...I heard the tune “Highway Star” by Deep Purple six times. Weird.
It is not like there are not a zillion other songs available to be played for their millions of listeners. LOL.

Here's a jet propelled version of "Little Sister" with Eddie Shaver, Jr. on guitar:

So Cool it Hurts.

Plays country how it used to be. He seems to be in the style of Buck, Merle and Left Frizzell. No white rap with a “tawng” as is today’s country crap.

If you don’t like this song of his......there’s something wrong with you. So much going on in it.....:

I love rockabilly and up-tempo country from the 50s. When Yoakam hit the scene with "Guitars Cadilacs", I was hooked.

I might just take another look at Sirius/XM and overlook it's crappy sound quality.

Very talented performer. I’ll listen to his channel if it comes to broadcast radio, rather than streaming.

In that first picture, he looks just like Lenny Levine, my mother’s real estate lawyer.

Have always LOVED Dwight Yoakam and he was great in Sling Blade. One of my favorite songs and videos he did.

The only time I feel a pain
is in the sunshine or the rain
I dont feel no hurt at all, unless you count when tear drops fall
I tell the truth ‘cept when I lie, it only hurts me when I cry.
