Dwight Yoakam Returns to Warner Music Nashville

After around a decade away from Warner/Reprise Nashville, Dwight Yoakam has re-signed with the one label company that helped guide his career to superstar status. Read on to find out who he's working with and when we can expect a new album.

The 54-year-old Kentucky musician-turned-actor is slated to release a new album for Warner Bros. Nashville early next year, the company has announced. It will be produced by Yoakam and Joe Chiccarelli, who has worked with such alt-rock acts as My Morning Jacket, the Shins and the Strokes. Yoakam also has been recording some tracks with Beck.

 “When I heard his current music, I was blown away,” Warner Music Nashville’s President and  Chief Executive John Esposito said in a statement. “I think that it is some of the best music he has ever done,  and I’m incredibly proud to have him back at Warner Bros. Records.”

It's been a quarter century since Yoakam's acclaimed major-label debut, "Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.," came out.
