...even with his new, more subtle and consistent, songs, Yoakam-decked out as always in his trademark '50s-style embroidered jacket, skin-tight faded jeans, cowboy boys and cowboy hat-still offers a maverick interpretation of country music that pushes the genre to evolve beyond its established heritage.

The state changed during their lifetime, but their sons and daughters--Bush's generation--who generally have left the country for life in the city, cannot admit to themselves that they have cut their connection to the land.
