Thanks boys and Girls lost my camera plane a few years ago tring for a great vid,  need to build a new one if I want to do more like this

Vinyl I was born in Bakersfield CA.  Yoakams ties to Buck Owens and the Song Streets of Bakersfield always remind me of the Bakersfield Sound if you have never heard of this google it, a little bit of Country music history that has nothing to do with Nashville. Its also where Merle Haggard got his start.

In an interview, Dwight Yoakam defined the term "Bakersfield sound":

'Bakersfield' really is not exclusively limited to the town itself but encompasses the larger California country sound of the Forties, Fifties and on into the Sixties, and even the Seventies, with the music of Emmylou Harris, Gram Parsons, the Burrito Brothers and the Eagles -- they are all an extension of the 'Bakersfield Sound' and a byproduct of it. I've got a poster of Buck Owens performing at the Fillmore West in 1968 in Haight Asbury! What went on there led to there being a musical incarnation called country rock. I don't know if there would have been a John Fogerty and Creedence Clearwater Revival had there not been the California country music that's come to be known as the 'Bakersfield Sound'.^[4]

Wow, Bakersfield! How cool to born in a place with such a rich musical history.

I love Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and the Bakersfield sound. I don't think we'd have had Country Rock and Alt Country without the influence from Bakersfield.

Cool song. I've got some early Yoakam albums, but I'm unfamiliar with this. I've always liked South of Cincinnati, maybe I'll have a shot at it one day.

Love the video. Did you film it yourself?
