Dwight Yoakum! Yes, he does indeed carry on the legacy. I used to watch Hee Haw, too, but even before that, my mum would play Buck's songs on 45s: "Act Naturally" (which was actually covered by the Beatles, not the other way around), "Tiger By the Tail", "Together Again", all those good ones. People who think modern country music (greats like Lyle Lovett and Dwight Yoakum, and Reba McIntyre and Garth Brooks notwithstanding) is anywhere close to what was around in the old days is sadly mistaken, IMO. It's like saying the Backstreet Boys are as good as the Beatles.
