We saw Dwight Yoakam again last week. Second time in the past three years, and would definitely see again.
I'll tell you, the one thing the country musicians do better than anyone is express their gratitude at people spending their hard-earned money and showing up. As the economics have shifted, live performance is their cash cow, and the country guys make sure you don't feel taken for granted. Dwight also plays a packed set, with at least 5 songs between audience chat. And he plays long; none of the checking-your-watch schtick for him.
Hell, I even bought merch, and I never buy merch.
