He even recorded a cover of the Clash's "Train In Vain" in 1997. Having diverged from pop-icon status in country-western fare, Yoakam is today more likely to be identified as having an older, or more traditional style, and mentioned with his contemporaries such as George Strait. He has also appeared in Southern California live theater, combining his acting talents with the talents of director Peter Fonda. Yoakam has also taken some acting roles, most notably as the abusive alcoholic Doyle in Billy Bob Thornton's Sling Blade ( 1996) and as a psychotic killer in 2002's Panic Room. Highway 23 runs north from Kentucky through Columbus and Toledo, and through the automotive centers of Michigan.) Yoakam's song Readin', Writin', and Route 23 pays tribute to his childhood move from Kentucky, and is titled after a local expression describing the route that rural Kentuckians need to take to find a job. 1990's ( 1990 in music) If There Was a Way was another best-seller. His third LP, Buenas Noches from a Lonely Room, included his first #1, a duet with Buck Owens, "Streets of Bakersfield". The follow-up LP, Hillbilly Deluxe, was just as successful. "Honky Tonk Man" ( Johnny Horton) and "Guitars, Cadillacs" were hit singles. and it instantly launched his career ( 1986 in music).
His debut LP was 1986's Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. Yoakam debuted with the college radio staple A Town South of Bakersfield in 1984 ( 1984 in music). He began playing live in the Los Angeles area, performing with punk bands like Dead Kennedys, Butthole Surfers and X and roots-rock bands The Blasters and Los Lobos. When he began his career, Nashville was oriented towards pop Urban Cowboy music, and Yoakam's brand of Bakersfield honky tonk was not considered marketable.
Yoakam briefly attended The Ohio State University, but dropped out and moved to Nashville in the late '70s with the intent of becoming a recording artist.
Outside of school, Yoakam sang and played guitar with local garage bands, and frequently entertained his friends and classmates as an amateur comedian, impersonating politicians and other celebrities, such as Richard Nixon, who, at that time, was heavily embroiled in the Watergate controversy. During his high school years, he excelled in both music and drama, regularly securing the lead role in school plays, such as Charlie in the stage version of Flowers for Algernon. He graduated from Columbus's Northland High School on June 9, 1974. Yoakam was born in Pikeville, Kentucky, and raised in Columbus, Ohio, growing up with his mother and step-father, who had a white collar job in the automotive industry.
