Bakersfield Beat

[KenH]

One of my favorite stations on SiriusXM, which I just found out about a few weeks ago while eating lunch in a restaurant, is tied to Dwight Yoakum and is called "Bakersfield Beat", channel 349. Plays a lot of his songs but other country music, but is also rather eclectic. For instance, I heard "Fortunate Son" by Clarence Clearwater Revival on it this morning.

Here are some songs that I really, really like that I heard on this channel.

Dwight Yoakum - "Keep On The Sunny Side"

Dwight Yoakum - "I'll Pay The Price"

Dave Alvin - "Haley's Comet" - about the last days of Bill Haley of Bill Haley & His Comets fame.
