Urban Country Cowboy

Dwight Yoakam brought the Bakersfield Sound to Bonnaroo for the first time, playing the evening spot at That Tent as the sun went down. The Los Angeles-based country music singer-songwriter (and actor/director/writer) kept his trademark cowboy hat pulled low, and with a backing band of rhinestone cowboys that outshone the stage lights, kept the music rocking high through his evening set. The crowd roared when the Pikesville, KY native took the stage at That Tent playing in support of his 2012 album 3 Pears, in addition to his hits and of course, a nod to his hero, Buck Owens. Yoakam’s cornerstone of urban cowboy country was on full display, blending in rock, pop Americana and soul, as he played hits from his catalog such as “Guitars, Cadillacs,” and packed his classic “Turn It On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose,” with the Buck Owens hits “Buckaroo” and “Act Naturally”, then thanking the That Tent crowd, where sandals danced with cowboy boots, for “flying with us tonight.” Yoakam challenged the crowd before continuing, exclaiming, “Let’s see how much redneck hippy you got in you”, as he cranked up such hits spanning from his 30 year career, such as “Honky Tonk Man”, “A Thousand Miles From Nowhere,” “Fast As You” and renditions of “Streets of Bakersfield,” his hit tune with Owens, and “Little Sister.” Yoakam has been enjoying Middle Tennessee lately; in addition to his rousing Bonnaroo performance, he sold out multiple shows at The Ryman earlier this year.
