First country music video on MTV

Did not. I would have wild arse guessed Achy Breaky Heart.

Clown name and clown music.

But they sure accepted Barth Brooks though.

Dwight Yoakam was never accepted by Nashville even at his height of his career.

I think if he was accepted then his career would have had a huge boost like many country artists that came out of Nashville in the late 80s and 90s.

He had it much tougher than those artists trying to make a career doing music.

I’m actually catching Dwight tonight in Spartanburg, SC!

My comment was towards Lil Nas X clown name and his clown music.

Dwight Yoakam is a much superior talent and doesn't make a mockery of the genre unlike clown name and Beyonce.

Wonderful show last night. Looked and sounded great! He’s 67 yrs old. He played songs one after the other like the Ramones. No breaks in between. He has so many great songs.

Here he is live.

I Sang Dixie

He would have been on the level of the likes of Alan Jackson, Toby Keith or George Strait had he had the full support of Nashville.

Whatever happened to Dwight? He just disappeared.

Uhhh, he has his own freaking Sirius/XM channel. I guess you can say he disappeared from commercial radio. I just saw him play last weekend in a sold out theater.
