In one of Dwight Yoakam’s songs from his 1993 album This Time, he says, “Maybe I’ll be fast as you.” The song is from the perspective of someone who’s addressing their ex, but those six words could apply to a lot of people. In fact, Yoakam might be faster because he’s a Corvette man.The video below, Saw You Comin’, documents the work and ideas that went into making Yoakam’s 2012 album 3 Pears. Part of that process involved listening to the rough cuts and mixes of his songs in his C6 convertible – at eardrum-detonating volumes. He made sure to have his fellow musicians, engineers, and even Beck sit next to him so they could do the same.Yoakam essentially used his ‘Vette as a ragtop test room in which he could determine which sonic elements his songs were missing or had too much of. He said the interior of his C6 was "the final resting place for voting, the precinct that casts the deciding ballot."It’s nice to know that Yoakam – who comes from Kentucky, just like Corvettes have since 1981 – has a love for America’s sports car. He seems very down to Earth, especially because he tests his tunes in one of the ways his fans do: from the driver’s seat.Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>Follow @derekshiekhiTags: c6, c6 corvette, Convertible, Corvette, Video
