And, in my opinion, Dwight is currently the greatest living pure Country music singer, right after Merle Haggard.

Also, I feel that "Come on Christmas" and "Santa Can't Stay" deserve a shout-out. They're two of the best Christmas songs of the last 20 years.

It is a song about immense heartbreak, soaked in alcohol, with a dash of that California swagger that makes for that classic Bakersfield sound. I can listen to this song and actually start to feel the Whiskey buzz that he sings about, and while it is a song about heartbreak and trying to cope, and ultimately failing, Dwight manages to maintain his cool throughout. It's lke we are listening to a broken man, but that broken man has a sly, confident smile the whole time he is telling his story.

He's also got a great acoustic album floating around with some really beautiful traditional songs. When I listen to Yoakam I hear the best of what I love about country music, he's definitely got it figured out.
