Maybe Proud Okie knows? or someone?

Do you consider Dwight Yokum to be 'new country'?

Get in touch please.

I think Dwight is definitely old country. His mentor, so to speak, was Buck Owens. I think PROUD OKIEFAN could answer that one. I hope she is not physically ill, but I think she is sick of all the nonsense that is happening on this site. I thought it was over and done with.

i`m okie Report It

Definitely not, He's been around since the mid 80's I don't consider that new country.

naw, he's not a legend status but he's real good and no where near new country-crap is all that is.

Never.... he has been around to long. Now you can NOT compare him to the likes of Garth Brooks or George Strait but none of these new "singers" can even begin to compare to Dwight...

No, he's not considered "new", but it's country

Even when he was "new" in the '80s, he has always been concerned with preserving that real country sound, and that's okay in my book.

like the others said, he aint new.
he aint old either, not like conway, loretta, roy acuff and many, many others.
but one of the few who actually sounds like old country. and yes he's alright.
listen to his version of the Christmas Song---the way he sings it is just hilarious!!!

no way no how.

No, I don't consider him to be "new country". But I say that because he actually had a little talent. You don't find that in today's "new country". This sh*t ain't country!!! It's pure trash!!!

...but of course, that's just my opinion.
