Yoakam wrote the new song specifically for a duet with Post Malone, who recently went country on his new LP F-1 Tris. Check it out below.
Brighter days is Yoakam's first full-length since 2016 Swimmin' Pools, Movie Stars…. The 12-track release includes 10 originals, as well as covers of “Bound Away,” Cake and the Carter Family classic “Keeping on the Sunny Side.”
Earlier this year, Post Malone and Dwight Yoakam appeared together at Stagecoach.
