Dwight Yoakam is releasing his first album of new music in nine years, Brighter Days, on Nov. 15 on Via Records/Thirty Tigers.
A first taste of the project, a collaboration with Post Malone called “I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom)” is out today (Sept. 6). The two were spotted in L.A. glimmering in their rhinestones riding horses down Sunset Blvd several days ago for a new video for the track that will debut soon.
Written and recorded over the last three years, Brighter Days features 12 brand new songs written or co-written by Yoakam, as well as two covers, “Keeping On The Sunny Side” by the Carter Family and “Bound Away” by Cake, artfully woven into the same body of work. Yoakam self-produced Brighter Days, infusing a modern appreciation for country’s history with the trailblazing rebel rock spirit of California.
Yoakam will continue on his North American tour, kicking off his next set of shows on Sept. 13 in North Little Rock
