Yoakam&rsquo\;s self-curated SiriusXM channel\, titled Dwight Yoakam and The Bakersfield Beat &lsquo\;Where Country Went Mod&rsquo\;\, will launch in late April. The channel celebrates the Bakersfield sound and those whom it has inspired. In 2016\, Yoakam released his bluegrass album Swimmin&rsquo\; Pools\, Movie Stars&hellip\; on Sugar Hill Records. Featuring a band of bluegrass luminaries\, this album boasts a collection of reinterpreted favorites from his catalogue\, as well as a cover of Prince&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Purple Rain&rdquo\;. Produced by nine-time GRAMMY winner Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss\, Dolly Parton)\, Jon Randall (songwriter of &ldquo\;Whiskey Lullaby&rdquo\;)\, and Yoakam himself\, and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge\, this album reflects the love for bluegrass music that Yoakam developed at an early age in Kentucky and that has inspired him for many years thereafter.
