Few  entertainers have attained the iconic status of Dwight Yoakam.  Perhaps that is because so few have  consistently and repeatedly met the high standard of excellence delivered by  the Kentucky  native no matter what his endeavor. His name immediately conjures up  compelling, provocative images: A pale cowboy hat with the brim pulled low;  poured-on blue jeans; intricate, catchy melodies paired with poignant,  brilliant lyrics that mesmerize with their indelible imprint.  Then there’s Yoakam the actor, who seemingly  melts into his roles, impressively standing toe-to-toe with some of the world’s  top thespians: Jodie Foster, Tommy Lee Jones, Forest Whitaker, Nicholas Cage.  Add to that Yoakam the entrepreneur and you have a singular talent without peer.
