Hat's off
Dwight Yoakam's the last great country singer left--and he doesn't need a twang to prove it
Yoakam likely will begin recording his next album in the fall, with a release date some time in the spring. And when he and Pete Anderson go in to make the album, they will do so in the place where they have been recording almost since the very beginning--at Studio B in the Capitol Records building at Hollywood and Vine. It was there that Owens and Haggard recorded so many of their hits--where Haggard laid down "Okie from Muskogee" and became an outlaw hero much to his surprise, where Owens cut "Act Naturally" in 1963 and shot to the top of the charts. And it's there that Yoakam found his place in the history he so desperately chased when he came west 20 years ago.
