Country veteran Dwight Yoakam has enlisted Post Malone for his first piece of new music in nine years. “I Don’t Know How to Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom)” leads the Kentucky-born singer-songwriter’s forthcoming studio album, Brighter Days—out November 15. Yoakam wrote the new song specifically for a duet with Post Malone, who recently went country on his new LP F-1 Trillion. Check it out below.
Brighter Days is Yoakam’s first full-length since 2016’s Swimmin’ Pools, Movie Stars…. The 12-track release features 10 originals, as well as covers of “Bound Away,” by Cake, and the Carter Family classic “Keeping on the Sunny Side.”
Earlier this year, Post Malone and Dwight Yoakam performed together at Stagecoach. And, years back, they hung out in Los Angeles and played a handful of songs, like Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” Yoakam’s “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere,” and Merle Haggard’s “The Bottle Let Me Down.”
