Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam Fans:

If you haven't already, please visit the new, official Dwight Yoakam myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/dwightyoakam

It will feature the latest news, tour dates and activity from Dwight.

Dwight Yoakam is set to release Dwight Sings Buck, a one-of-a-kind new album honoring the legendary Buck Owens, out on October 23, 2007, as both a CD and a Limited Edition 180 gram vinyl record, from New West Records.

“After his death, it was the clearest way I could express my love for him and acknowledge the depth of our friendship” said Yoakam on why he chose to record an album of Buck Owens songs.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of the album will be donated by Dwight Yoakam and New West Records to the “Buck Owens American Music Foundation” a charity devoted to the preservation of the Bakersfield sound and the Buck Owens legacy.

The emotional “Close Up The Honky Tonks,” will be released as the album’s first single.

All the best,
Mike @ New West
