What can I say? Dwight kicked it like only Dwight can. This is the first time I've paid money to see someone perform on the Opry. I've been backstage many times -- couldn't get on the list this time around -- but it was well worth the ticket price. I've heard rumors that he might be getting another guitar player, but Eddie Perez was still with him. He needs to hang onto him. It's a great pairing. Hearing Joe Nichols (a terrific singer) perform one of those run-of-mill boring, soulless songs written by a bunch of Nashville "hit makers" sitting around a table in some 4pm writing session made me appreciate a REAL artist like Dwight even more. And made me wonder if this town will EVER embrace real artists again? They never embraced Dwight. As a result, no one in "Music City" can ever claim credit for this living legend of country music, Dwight Yoakam. Rock on, Dwight! You're the best thing the Opry and this town has seen in a longggg time. Keep coming back to remind everyone how exciting and fresh country music can be. Remember?
