Your right on the talent but dressed the boy like a 1950 clown!

He left and then decided to come back to reveal one of his greatest songs ever as a bonus. What a treat.

Just Dwight and his guitar…..beautifully perfect. Thank you DY.

This goes out to my friend Stanley who always played every Dwight Yoakum song on the jukebox 58 is just to young to die. So we'll sing Dixie one last time tonight.

I'm sorry for your heartache. Losing a love, any love, can happen so quickly. Always tell someone you love them. It might be your last chance. God bless you.

I shoveled the dirt on the old man's casket a little over a year ago. One of the last country boys!!! God bless the U.S.A and rural America 🇺🇸!!!

My dad died unexpectedly in my arms at the age of 63. I wish I could sing this song as I have a fairly descent singing voice but I can’t make it through the first stanza without losing my voice and having to purse my lips...it hits home.

Agree! One of my favorites and so is DY.

This song used to make me cry. The fact that people can just walk on by and not care, is a reality that is beyond me. Where is the milk of human kindness, and the measure of human decency?

People don't realize how perfect his voice is. No gimmicks, back up vocals, back up tracks.

I lived in Round Rock Tx. I loved it. Signed, a Native American from Minnesota. I miss the South and all the wonderful, loving people. Thanx, Ya' All. I was carrying out groceries for a company called H.E.B. I carried the groceries for these small elderly lady, she said, "You are so kind and polite, where are you from?" I said, "Thank You, Minnesota." The lovely lady said, "Ya' damn Yankee." I said, " Yes Ma'am." and left it at that. Love Austin. m

I don't have one freakin record or cd of his that's how a new of a fan I am! U tube is my friend.

TOTALLY LOVE THIS SONG- however while it is tremendous when Dwight sings it solo, there is something special when you hear the fiddle accompanying this great song.

I’m always talking about Merle, George Jones, Hank Jr and Sr, King George Strait as the greatest country voices and I forget Dwight but this dude should not be forgotten and he belongs in the Pantheon of the greatest country vocalists of all time.

Amazing performance!

Hauntingly good!!!!!!!

Great song. One of the best singing.

Everyone comments that this song is about alcoholism but I think the song is more of a reflection of how the lifestyle that a sick place like LA that just chews people up and spits them out does to people, that kind of city, that kind of life, that a person who was living the slow real life of “Dixie” wouldn’t be drinking themselves to death on a street. LA is the cruel world , the darkness of that shallow existence isn’t good for the soul. Dixie is real, is the light in the world, the beauty, the down to earth heart, the thing people wish they could run back to even when it’s too late because they realize what matters in life at the end.

Dwight is ALL I listen to...

Dad used to say everything comes fulll circle.

The most unique voice that does it the right way

My Beautiful Daughter and I sang this together, I played guitar, she was 12, to my unforgettable darling Husband and her Daddy. I love You for this Song❤️ He served This Country in 2 different Wars for our freedom. God Bless The USA and God Bless You🦅🎸🇺🇸

Not many songs from any genre put a tear in these eyes but this one has a few times, amazing song and an amazing talent.

Shows his brilliance as a songwriter

Amazing Dwight we love you sir!

I really enjoy Dwight and being a true southern, I Sang Dixie, is one of my favorite. I have a great deal of respect for Dwight and his friendship with Buck Owens. Hearing him sing at Buck's funeral waso touching. In spite of the age difference, they were the best of friends, rare these days. Dwight even admitted he loved Buck Owens. I am sure it went the other way too! Cheryl

King of country music. yesssssssssssss

This is a classic song!

The song reminds me of an old Bellamy brothers song called you ain't just a Whistlin Dixie

Pretty song

What a great song.

It’s amazing how so many people don’t appreciate being young when we’re young… I say that because so many artist should hang it up now their voice hasn’t held up and that’s just life

Very deep touching song only sung this way by Dwight Yoakum!

Amazing, that is just beautiful ❤️

Omg he's so young
