Craig,
I, like you, am a fan of good country music and have been a long time fan of Dwight. I saw him in the 90s in DC and was hooked. He is a true connoisseur of the country arts, including starting the Bakersfield station on Sirius XM. I saw him again last summer with Steve Earle and Lucinda Williams, although he was my least favorite of those three on that night (but still great). He’s also an actor, having starred in Slingblade, among other films.
I just love his homage back to the greats and the stripped down Bakersfield sound. Guitars and cadillacs is one of my all time favorites.
There’s lots of great new country music out there though, but you just don’t hear it on the radio. Try Sturgill Simpson, Margo price, Chris Stapleton, Lucinda Williams (not that new), Sarah jarosz, Brandy Clarke and many many others.
Better yet, stop by in Atlanta when I get the new room built and we’ll have a big time listening to this stuff.
