Remakes, also commonly known as cover songs, go all the way back to the earliest days of popular music and have stretched across myriad musical genres.
Chris Stapleton and the iconic Dwight Yoakam joined forces at the 2016 CMA Awards to cover a unique duet, "Seven Spanish Angels," first performed by Willie Nelson and Ray Charles in 1984, and though it may have had a slightly different sound, the combination was nearly as impressive as the original.
Dwight Yoakam is trading in his act on the country music stage for an acting gig on television. He is slated to star in Amazon’s upcoming original drama Goliath.
Dwight Yoakam's new song 'Liar' is an up-tempo, leg twisting, body gyrating toe-tapping tune that's rockin'. 'Liar' is off his new album 'Second Hand Heart'.
The runup to the 2015 ACM Awards will feature a plethora of musical acts, including special duets in which country legends will team up with modern acts for unforgettable performances.
