Yoakam gets hitched
Yoakam, 63, married Joyce, who he has dated for 10 years, in March in a church ceremony in California before less than 10 guests and prior to quarantines for COVID-19.
"Dwight Yoakam and Emily Joyce were married in March just prior to the quarantine in a private ceremony at St Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, California. At a time when there is so much uncertainty in the world, there are still happy moments."
"In the face of shutdowns and social-distancing requirements, love prevailed, and the less-than-ten attendees were seated at least six feet from one another. The happy couple have been engaged for several years and have been dating since 2010. This belated announcement was withheld out of respect to so many people affected by and on the front lines of this pandemic."

He made quite a splash on the country music scene back then, quickly gaining radio airplay and branching off into movies. Very quickly, he became the king of the southern California, post-Buck Owens, country-rock sound. He still wears that crown today.
His music and style really ...
In this 1988 Austin City Limits program and nearing 32 years old, Dwight Yoakam was approaching his commercial zenith. His third album, "Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room," had just been released, bringing him his only number one country singles "Streets of Bakersfield" (included here in duet with Buck Owens along with Flaco Jimenez) and "I Sang Dixie," also included.
His second ACL appearance, Yoakam delivers a generous, 14-song reminder of how freakin' unusual ...
Dwight Yoakam appears to be a many of mystery on the cover. With two side-by-side images of himself, the Kentucky honky tonker dons a trademark cowboy hat, jeans jacket and jacket and plucking his electric, legs spread and head pointed down. But there really is no mystery about Yoakam, who has been making music longer than some of the contemporary country acts have been alive.
