Dwight Yoakam Plans Buck Owens Tribute CD
Dwight Yoakam will release Dwight Sings Buck, a tribute to Buck Owens, on Oct. 23 on New West Records. "After his death,
it was the clearest way I could express my love for him and acknowledge the depth of our friendship," Yoakam said. A portion
of the proceeds will benefit the Buck Owens American Music Foundation, a charity that helps preserve the Bakersfield sound
and Owens' legacy. The first single will be "Close Up the Honky Tonks." The 15 tracks include "My Heart Skips a Beat," "Act
Naturally," "Cryin' Time" and "Love's Gonna Live Here."
