Ah, so this is what it feels like to swallow your pride. One of my personal favorites, Dwight Yoakam is getting a bit of, ahem, questionable help from the one and only red-hatted clown of Limp Bizkit.

Fred is directing Dwight's new clip, for "Close Up the Honky Tonks," from Dwight Sings Buck, his new tribute album to the late Buck Owens.

The funny thing about the two hooking up is that it was Dwight's idea. After watching the Durst-directed The Education of Charlie Banks, Dwight called his manager to get Fred on the horn. That's that, look for it to debut soon.

Next up - Dwight might have a role in an upcoming Fred Durst feature-length project. More details once they are released and/or booked.
