There are 14 country stars who should be given more respect, and one of them is Dwight Yoakam. However, we recently discovered that there is another country act who is equally deserving of recognition and admiration.

Nevertheless, the evidence supports the notion that he and his 13 companions deserve a greater level of recognition and admiration.
