The boyhood home of country music star Dwight Yoakam in Betsy Layne, Ky., has been on the market a month, and Kentucky tourism officials are surprised that it's not sold yet.

"I could see a country music lover making a good income supplement, buying the house and opening it to fans," said Fred James, spokesman for the Kentucky Tourism Cabinet. "It has appeal, no question about it."

List price for the single-story house is $89,500. According to a local advertisement, the house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's completely remodeled, with new carpet.

Yoakam lived in the house only briefly as an infant, before his parents moved to Columbus, Ohio.
