This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comNothing like a trip to the ocean to start a new year! I feel so fortunate to live just over an hour away from one of the most beautiful coastlines on this planet.This recording was made at Yoakam Point, near Coos Bay Oregon, about 4 hours down the coast. It's a uniquely beautiful sounding surf here, I have to say.And you might think to yourself, all beaches sound nice, Chad. And well, it would be hard-hearted of me to try to argue with you on that point. They all do sound nice, but some just sound more nice. The tuning here must have something to do with the rocks that reach into the ocean lake a giant hand, as if playing the surf like so many harp strings. The scarp ridges reflect the sound waves of the tumbling surf like a giant instrument, but not in a way that sounds like mush. The contours are clean and the details are sharp. If you listen closely you'll hear the distant moan of a fog horn on the low end (though I did soften it considerably with a low scoop EQ) and the peals of Pigeon Guillemot on the high end of this soundscape. Now if you're like me, you might wonder, why is it called “Yoakam Point”? And, if you're like me, not finding an answer at the ready makes this one of life's little mysteries that needs to be solved. I expected it to be named for some ship captain or crew mate. If not that, then certainly a white man, probably a pioneer or politician, or both. So, wading through numerous Google results for modern country singer Dwight Yoakam, I finally chanced upon a couple fascinating stories tracing the Yoakam surname in Coos County. And, to my surprise these stories enobled no man, but spoke to the perseverance of two generations of Yoakam women. How refreshing!Tragedy of the Burning TreeIn 1855 newly arrived settlers Eliza and John Yoakam lost five daughters to a tree aflame falling on their home, as detailed in this 1906 obituary:In 1855 they moved to a homestead about six miles from Empire City on [what] is now known as the Cammon wagon road.It was here that the awful tragedy of Mrs. Yoakam's life occurred—one that would only be possible in pioneer days, when a large, burning tree fell with terrific force upon their little cabin, shattering it and instantly killing five of their children, one a babe in its mother's arms. The accident happened in the evening, when the children were nearly all asleep, and when later the anguished parents searched amid the ruins of their little ones, they found four of them dead where they had slept. Two little boys, Jasper and George, aged 7 and 5 years, still missing, were found in their little trundle bed alive and fast asleep. The branches of the tree had fallen in such a manner as to shield their little bed, and the commotion had not even awakened them. The scene of the accident is known as Yoakam's Hill, and stately firs, spreading cedars the graceful rhododendron now grow in wild luxuriance where these hapless children lie in their dreamless sleep.The homestead was abandoned, as the poor mother could find no happiness there, and after a few sad months in Empire City and Eastport, they moved to the Coquiller River, where they remained until 1867, when they bought the William Jackson farm on South Coos River, and literally hewed for themselves a home out of the wilderness. In this home probably the happiest years of Mrs. Yoakam s life were spent; other children came to her almost empty arms, and listening to their happy laughter, her old sorrow gradually faded away. For many years “Yoakam's” was synonymous with good cheer and hospitality.Mrs. Yoakam was a woman of rare type, well fitted by nature for the struggles and adventures of pioneer life. Mr. Yoakam died in 1876, and for many years his widow successfully managed the farm, failing health finally compelling her to leave it. She was the mother of twelve children, five of whom survive her. (Coquille Herald)One of her children, George Yoakam, died in 1901, gored by a neighbor's wayward bull, leaving his wife Sarah, three daughters and a son. Taking a page from her mother-in-law, Sarah successfully managed the family farm in the wake of the tragedy.Sarah Yoakam Forges AheadThat a woman can conduct a dairy farm most successfully is nicely proved in the case of Mrs. Sarah Yoakam of Coos county, near Marshfield, Ore., whose husband, a prominent rancher, was killed by a vicious bull some thirteen years ago. In the years Intervening since she and her two daughters have conducted and developed the dairy business in which her husband was engaged. For a good share of the time they have done all the work on the farm, including the care of the dairy herd and the securing of the farm crops. (Union Star)Indeed Sarah not only succeeded on her farm, but went on to become a leader in the trade.Sarah Yoakam, who ran her husband's Coos County dairy upon his death seven years earlier, was voted the first female vice-president of the Oregon State Dairyman's Association. The next year she became the superintendent of the Dairy Department of the Oregon State Fair. (cooshistory.org)Now, how exactly this headland came to be known as Yoakam Point is not crystal clear. The acreage was one of 19 locations purchased by the state in 1968. The state wayside simply carried over the accepted name. Oregon Geographic Names suggests the name was in use for “many decades” prior to 1952, attributed to the pioneer family:For many decades this name has been applied to a small promontory about a mile west of Coos Head just south of the entrance to Coos Bay. It commemorates a family well known in the history of the county. (Oregon Geographic Names, 1952)Mussel ReefI think it's important to include the settler prehistory here. Before the name Yoakam Point gained acceptance among the settlers of the area, it seems like “Mussel Reef” was in play. The area was inhabited by the Coos people from time immemorial. This particular shoreline was an abundant intertidal zone rich with mollusks and crustaceans used for both food and regalia. Sites of archeological importance are documented here. A half mile west of Yoakam Point, sits Chiefs Island, on which stands the defunct Cape Arago Lighthouse. The island was repatriated to the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw in 2013. That site contains a very large, deep midden, indicating an extended presence on the island. It is closed to the public.Coos Bay was a distinctly rich cultural area prior to Euro-American settlement. it brought together five tribes speaking as many different languages (or dialects) within short distance each other: Miluk (Coos), Hanis (Coos), Quuiich (Lower Umpqua) Nasomah dialect (Lower Coquille) and Athabaskan (Upper Coquille).Noting the abundant natural resources and prospects for establishing a port, early settlers converged on the peninsula in the center of the bay, incorporating the town of Empire City next to a Miluk village, about 10 miles inland from Yoakam Point. Empire City is today the Empire neighborhood of the city of Coos Bay. Within just a few years of the first settlers arriving, the tribes were forcibly removed and eventually relocated to the Siletz Agency of the Coast Reservation. Like most treaties in the west, promises were broken when the US congress systematically failed to ratify them. Thanks for reading and listening. I'm grateful for your interest.

Label: Reprise 27964Year: 1988Condition: MPrice: $12.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original picture sleeve. This great duet with Buck Owens -- a tribute to Owens' classic "Bakersfield" style of country music -- became Yoakam's first #1 country hit. Note: This 45 has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is nearly flawless.

Label: Reprise 17734Year: 1995Condition: MPrice: $6.50From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy... pristine Mint. Hardly one of Dwight Yoakam's signature tunes, nonetheless "Nothing" is a great demonstration of the qualities that make him one of the greatest American singer/songwriter of the last 20 years. For me, Yoakam's willingness to bend the country music genre---to reach out and incorporate musical elements from from pop, rock, & soul---put him in with the class of heroes that made American music from the last half of the 1900's the worldwide phenomenon it became. Only the American melting pot could have produced Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Charlie Rich, James Brown, Eddie Cochran, the Dell-Vikings, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, John Fogerty, Buck Owens, Little Willie John, Ray Charles, George Jones, and all the hundreds of other pioneers of rockabilly, rock & soul. And it was those folks who, in turn, so inspired Britain's youth that the rock & roll revolution regained momentum and started rolling in whole new directions. Dwight Yoakam's muse reaches back into that melting pot, harmonizing beautifully with the qualities that made those early pioneers great. And this humble tune is simply a nice, seldom-heard example of Yoakam's genius. Note that both sides hit the country chart, as the rollicking rockabilly B side took off in early 1996. Unfortunately, despite Yoakam's clear "crossover" appeal, pop/rock radio has pretty much ignored him.

In June of 1988, Dwight Yoakam released his third studio album. Recorded in Hollywood, the record features Yoakam's signature blend of traditional country roots with a modern twist. With hits like "I Sang Dixie" and "I Got You," Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room solidified Yoakam's place as a standout in the genre. Let's talk Dwight Yoakam, Buenas Noches From a Lonely Room!

Dwight Yoakam's influences are readily apparent in this early neotraditionalist cover of Johnny Horton's "Honky Tonk Man".  Hank, Cash, Elvis, and of course Buck Owens are all in there, but what thematic material has Yoakam also imported from the mid-20th century?

CORRECTION: Pete used 7 out of the 21 stockpiled Yoakam originals on each of the first 3 albums they released together. Pete Anderson turned Nashville on its ear with his playing and production on Dwight Yoakam's 1986 release, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc. His use of a Tele and Fender Deluxe Reverb amp, instead of the Music City norm of a Strat going direct with heavy chorus, made Dwight's record stand-out, and radio and record buyers responded by quickly turning Yoakam into a bonafide star. In this AZ episode, I give some backstory on Anderson, show some of his licks, and how his work ethic and street smarts paid off for him.

There's so much to say as we kick-off 2023 ... And it's time for us to start hitting on the bigger issues: Workforce is potentially an international issue that we focus on daily.  How do we support our community by, essentially,  ‘creating more people' without teleportation and cloning?Jason Yoakam joins us on the couch to chat about the creative ways in which his company, JYoakam Communications, has assisted Fostoria in telling their story so that the community attracts and retains those who live, work, and play in Fostoria, Ohio.The truth of the matter is, there are a lot of great stories to tell and communities who can be creative and think outside the box are 'where it's at' right now because you have to get the attention of the people in your community and the kids in your districts. Jason concludes, "If you live [here] and you're working outside this community, there's a significant savings to work local." Join Sarah&Renee in this episode to learn more!Get to know us ...And, find us on Apple to leave us a review!Or, listen to our favorite songs ; -)

Among the more uproarious of SNAP sessions, Dwight Yoakam brought his merry band of Babylonian Cowboys to SNAP in July 1986. In addition to playing a full set of rip-roaring country and bluegrass, Yoakam and his band engage Deirdre in a stream of relentless banter and convivial shit-talking. One for the books.

In this episode of the Road to Growth podcast, we are pleased to introduce you to Brooke Yoakam. Brooke is founder of GiftPocket, the award-winning digital wallet app that allows users to manage all of their gift cards from their phone, pay with their gift cards in stores or online, exchange unwanted gift cards for gift cards they want, and send gift cards to people. Brooke Yoakam founded GiftPocket when she was 12 years old, after receiving a bunch of unwanted gift cards from elder relatives and knew there was a gap in the digital wallet space. GiftPocket and its namesake currency GP Points™, is focused on young adults, who predominantly use gift cards as their main form of currency, but is available to all ages. The app, as a digital wallet, seamlessly helps manage the cards for use in person and online. She is currently a student at Boston College, and originally from Columbus, Ohio   Learn more and connect with Brooke Yoakam by visiting her on    Website - www.GiftPocket.com   Be sure to follow us on Twitter: Twitter.com/to_growth on Facebook: facebook.com/Road2Growth   Subscribe to our podcast across the web: https://www.theenriquezgroup.com/blog Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2Cdmacc iTunes: https://apple.co/2F4zAcn Castbox: http://bit.ly/2F4NfQq Google Play: http://bit.ly/2TxUYQ2 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKnzMRkl-PurAb32mCLCMeA?view_as=subscriber

Stay tuned to the end of the interview where I'll give you some actionable insights that I learned from my guest. These insights are also in the show notes. As always, thanks for listening.  Now on to my guest for today, Brooke Yoakam. At 19, Brooke has already been at the helm of her company, Gift Pocket, for seven years.  Brooke comes from a family of entrepreneurs, yet when her mother first proposed the idea that she join the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, she balked. But she agreed to try it out and found she loved it. It was at the academy that Brooke came up with the idea for Gift Pocket as a solution to a problem she had, which was that her grandfather kept giving her gift cards to stores she didn't want to go to. The app she created, enables users to store gift cards digitally and to exchange them for ones from different stores. The app also solves the common problem of people losing gift cards. Brooke sees her company as innovating in an industry that has long been stagnant and helping companies build revenue. Brooke continues to run her company while she attends college, where she's learning skills in finance and computers as well as building an invaluable network. She talks about balancing being a CEO with being a college student, the frustrations of working with funders, and how she sees everyone who comes to work with her as potential collaborators in making the company even better.  Now, let's get better together. Actionable Insights Be open to trying out new things; if you're a parent, encourage this in your child. Even if that thing doesn't end up being something you're interested in, you'll never know until you try. While Yoakam's entrance into entrepreneurship was perhaps inevitable, it was her mother pushing her to try out the Young Entrepreneurs Academy that was the jumping off point for her. While your idea needs to be a solution that solves a problem, it's imperative that it's something you're passionate about - because you don't know how long you might have to work at it. Make sure it's something you can feel proud to be a part of.  Yoakam's attitude is “every no leads to a yes.” She believes that things are always working out for the best and doesn't see “nos” as failures.  Links to Explore FurtherGift Pocket Brooke Yoakam on LinkedIn Gift Pocket on Instagram Young Entrepreneurs Academy  Keep In TouchBook or Blog or Twitter or LinkedIn or JSYPR Learn more about your ad choices.

Giftpockets started all the way back when I was 12 years old in 2014. It just started from a simple problem. I would go shopping with my friends and every single time I would forget my gift cards at home. Then every single Christmas my grandfather would give me gift cards to stores that I would never shop at. I was getting super frustrated. I didn't know what to do. When It Worked

Abrimos el mapa de carreteras y apareció el estado de Kentucky. Nos fuimos a los archivos y elegimos un puñado de canciones, al azar, de músicos del llamado Bluegrass State. Pensamos que nos ha quedado un programa muy especial que nos encanta compartir. Durante años, los miembros de New Grass Revival han adquirido una envidiable reputación como renovadores de la música tradicional americana. Sus trabajos han marcado una buena parte del desarrollo de la country music y, por supuesto, del bluegrass. En 1989 publicaron su último álbum antes de su disolución, Friday Night In America, donde se encontraba “Callin’ Baton Rouge”, una canción que habían grabado antes los Oak Ridge Boys y que haría muy popular Garth Brooks y para cuya versión llamó a los cuatro miembros del grupo. ha sido el comienzo de un programa que nos ha citado con Keith Whitley, uno de los mejores cantantes de honky-tonk hasta que murió demasiado pronto en la cúspide de su carrera. Es inevitable que Chris Stapleton y Sturgill Simpson fueran ajenos al programa de hoy, como máximos representantes del presente sonoro de ese estado. Con el primero nos reafirmamos en la creencia de que estuvo escondido demasiado tiempo tras el éxito de sus composiciones para otros, cuando su categoría personal era incuestionable. Con Sturgill siempre sabemos que es una apuesta segura. Tampoco podemos dejar de lado a Tyler Childers, cuyas canciones bajan de los Apalaches para arropar historias del día a día de este siglo y su voz consigue un resultado conmovedor, con mucho de la cultura de su tierra natal. A Dwight Yoakam se le relaciona con las noches californianas de los últimos 80 y primeros 90, pero nunca olvidó que nació en Kentucky y sus raíces siempre florecen. También ocurre con Patty Loveless, nacida en Pikeville, la misma ciudad donde lo hizo Yoakam, que supo alejarse del glamour de Nashville para regresar a la tradicional más profunda. Esa que nos encuentra con Loretta Lynn, la hija de un minero del carbón nacida en una cabaña, en una colina en Butcher Holler. es el emblema de Kentucky junto al "gran padre del bluegrass", Bill Monroe, rescatado para la fama gracias a Ricky Skaggs que llevó a la cima de las listas su versión de "Uncle Pen" en pleno 1984. En los límites de la tradición encontramos a los Kentucky Headhunters, a Brother Phelps y a un Billy Ray Cyrus que ha pagado con creces el estigma del éxito multitudinario de sus comienzos.

Alain here, and for February, 2021, it is my turn to pick an album for the guys to review as we mark the halfway point in our round of country music picks. If you're a faithful Sonic Collective listener, you're probably well aware by now that Country isn't exactly in our wheelhouses – and that's despite the fact that most of us live or have lived in Alberta, which is basically the Texas of Canada. Around these parts, it's not uncommon to see grown men unironically wearing cowboy hats. We've got no shortage of brilliantly talented Country Music artists from around these parts. Despite not being big into country myself, my favourite country musician is Corb Lund, a fellow Albertan, who I highly recommend you check out. But he's not who I picked for this round. No, I wanted to look a bit further back into the history of country music, to explore the natural evolution of the sound. We had Dolly, then we had Willy, and now… we have Dwight. Rumor has it that Johnny Cash once cited Yoakam as his favorite country singer. Chris Isaak called him as good a songwriter as ever put a pen to paper. Time Magazine dubbed him "A Renaissance Man" and Vanity Fair declared that "Yoakam strides the divide between rock's lust and country's lament." High praises indeed. So what will the Sonic Collective think of Yoakam's debut album, Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.? Tune in at the end of the month for our review episode to find out. And if you're listening along with us, let us know!

Refusing to be tied down in any one genre, Joe’s skill, versatility, and eclectic taste has put him in rooms with Frank Zappa, Tori Amos, Oingo Boingo, The Bangles, The Strokes, Morrissey, Dwight Yoakam, The Bee Gees, The White Stripes and many, many more.

Desmond Dekker and The Aces [00:42] a side: "Israelites" b side: "My Precious World" UNI Records 55129 1969 This Desmond Dekker and Leslie Kong penned tune became the first reggae single to reach #1 in the UK and actually made it to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Johnny Bond [06:09] a side: "It Only Hurts When I Cry" b side: "The Girl Who Carries the Torch for Me" Starday 45-893 Hmmm. Almost a kind of ska beat going on there. And I think the b-side is certainly taking some liberties (pause for groan). Dwight Yoakam [11:26] a side: "It Only Hurts When I Cry" b side: "Let's Work Together" Reprise Records 7-19148 1990 Ah yes, that's more like it. Mr. Yoakam and Mr. Miller do sure wrote a fine happy sad song. The Mindbenders [17:37] a side: "It's Getting Harder All the Time" b side: "Off and Running" Fontana Records F-1595 1967 Not one, but two tracks from the film "To Sire with Love". The Uniques [23:20] a side: "It's All Over Now" b side: "All I Took Was Love" Paula Records PAULA 299 1968 Shreveports own The Uniques bringing us a lively version of this Bobby & Shirley Womack tune. Some of you may recall their single "You Ain't Tuff" from the first Nuggets compilation. Talk Talk [27:40] a side: "It's My Life" b side: "It's My Life" EMI Records P-B-8195 1984 A true 80s classic. Kevin Rowland & Dexy's Midnight Runners [33:05] a side: "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven when You Smile)" b side: "Let's Make this Precious" Mercury Records DEXYS 10 1982 Can't go wrong recording this Van Morrison tribute to "Reet Petite". David Dundas [39:49] a side: "Jeans On" b side: "Sleepy Serena" Chrysalis Records CHS 2094 1976 Lord?! Yes, son of the 3rd Marquess of Zetland. BONUS: "To Sire with Love" Trailer [48:25] "To Sir with Love" by Terry Baxter and his Orchestra.

Kostas is a singer-songwriter and has been writing songs for 40 years. Although h released an album entitled XS in Moderation on Liberty Records, he's most known for the songs he wrote recorded by other artists.His first #1 hit song was “Timber, I'm Falling in Love” recorded by Patti Loveless which was also her first #1. He co-wrote a number of songs recorded by Dwight Yoakam such as "Ain't that Lonely Yet" and co-wrote songs with Yoakam. A diverse number of recording artists have cut Kostas songs including Etta James, Travis Tritt, Martina McBride, Marty Stuart, Trisha Yearwood, George Strait and others.

Just trying to share some of my favorite musical moments

Brian Whelan was one of the very first guests on Independent's Day, stopping by our studios for the second episode way back on March 9th, 2011. At the time, he was making the rounds in a number of Los Angeles bands and building a reputation as a formidable player on a number of instruments. That reputation put his name on the short list of players being considered for a vacancy in maverick country legend Dwight Yoakam's band. Yoakam needed a versatile musician who could sing harmonies and cover parts on several instruments, including keyboards, accordion, guitar and pedal steel guitar. But Whelan had never really played the latter, a complicated beast of an instrument that requires all four of a pedal steel player's arms and legs to make its characteristically weepy and lonesome sound. Yoakam met with Whelan and asked the younger musician if he thought he could learn how to play pedal steel for the gig. Whelan wisely replied, “Yes,” and in doing so, he stepped into the role of a full-time member of Yoakam's band that would find him playing years of top-tier shows and recording on two of Yoakam's albums. Whelan, who used to be called “The Kid” in Los Angeles music circles, summarily skipped a few grades and got paid to earn what is tantamount to a PhD in real-world music by apprenticing with one of the masters of modern country and western music. And now, after four years, Whelan has taken the courageous steps to leave Yoakam's band and strike out on his own. After all, no matter how good the gig is, your name will never be on the marquee if the spotlight is always on the other guy.

There is no doubt that being a professional musician means taking all kinds of gigs. Gigs can be recording dates, playing live shows, teaching and performing in more unorthodox venues under sometimes-dubious circumstances - anything to keep at it. One type of gig that nearly all musicians strive and starve for is called "the gravy gig" - a type of regular, well-paying situation that frequently brings in a reliable income and allows them the relative freedom to pursue other musical goals without as much concern for its profitability. Drummer Mitch Marine had been in the music business for nearly two decades when he got the call to join country pioneer Dwight Yoakam's band. Since then, Marine has recorded four albums with Yoakam, including 2012's acclaimed "3 Pears," and played hundreds of shows all over the world. It's a class-A gravy gig, and Marine has used the stability that comes with playing with a major artist to build a respectable career as a producer and session drummer with a growing list of artists to his credit and a keen ear for polishing the music artists he produces the perfect amount.

Born in Kentucky, raised in Ohio, apprenticed in Los Angeles, Dwight Yoakam is not your typical mainstream country music star. Indeed, his honky-tonk style of country has always been a throwback to an earlier era, one in which Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, and Buck Owens ruled the airwaves. It seems an anomaly that Yoakam was at his commercial peak in the days of Garth Brooks and Brooks and Dunn. In Dwight Yoakam: A Thousand Miles from Nowhere (University of Texas Press, 2012), music writer Don McLeese details the history of Yoakam and, especially, his music from an early failed attempt at Nashville acceptance to his tooth-cutting days in the L.A. punk and roots music scene of the early 1980s. They key to Yoakam’s success, writes McLeese, was his vision and determination to make it on mainstream country radio, and make it he did. In the late-80’s through the 90’s Yoakam was one of country music’s biggest stars. Importantly, true to his punk rock roots, he did it on his own terms, making the music that he wanted to make, presenting himself as a character of his own creation. Don McLeese was formerly the pop music critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and the Austin American-Statesman, as well as country columnist and contributor to Rolling Stone and a senior editor for No Depression. He currently teaches journalism at the University of Iowa. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
