Dwight Yoakam is a multi-platinum recording artist with many number one albums and singles, as well as multiple Grammy wins. But despite all his accomplishments as a musician, including his new album Brighter Days, Dwight is just as comfortable being a music historian. Dwight helps Marc chart the movement of country music to California, with Americana music of the mid-20th Century blending with rock and punk to create a unique sound that Dwight was a distinct part of. They talk all about The Byrds, Creedence, The Blasters and many more, in addition to Dwight’s new adventures as a first-time dad.

I'm Mark Marin.
This is my podcast.
Welcome to it.
Looks like I don't know what happens every year.
I guess it's an end of the year thing, but I get these little sort of message requests and DM sort of things from random people fans showing me the listings of their ranked favorite podcasts.
And we're still up there, at least for some people, which is nice.
It's a long time.
We've been doing this a long time.
I don't even know how many.
I just know it's a lot.
And we keep churning them out for you for your enjoyment.
Every Monday and Thursday, a new show for you.
And we're doing even more stuff for bonus stuff on the acast there.
