Dwight Yoakam Country Quotations

I'll never quit playing country music, or at least acknowledging it, always, as the cornerstone of what I am.

I embrace country music because of love, a love of what I came from.

Country music originates with the colloquial, rural aspects of white America. It's really, truly, rural white America's blues.

Ironically, the success I've experienced at country radio has left me ostracized from pop and other formats of radio.

She truly is one of the legendary icons behind the scenes of country music. She didn't take the curtain calls, but a lot of us would never have heard Flatt & Scruggs if it hadn't been for Louise Scruggs.

I am probably the last of a generation able to gain an education in country music by osmosis, by sitting in a '64 Ford banging the buttons on the radio.
