Free Music Notes for Lyle Lovett Live In Texas

Free Music Review: Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!
Hit: 5 Stars

Lyle Lovett, to the casual observer, is considered a country-singer. To the more-than-casual observer, he is considered an alternative-country-singer. To the hardcore followers, our description is as follows: "He's a little bit of everything." He definetely has roots in country, but he also has roots and the love for the blues, jazz, and folk-music.

And this live record serves as proof. If you listen to the songs, such as "Here I Am", you can easily see that, despite the big-band arrangement, it could still very well be done in a true-blue country format if he wanted to.

Some take joy in makming fun of Lovett, calling him a "hipster country/cowboy wannabe". Except for the "wannabe" part, I believe Lovett should be referred - in a good way, mind you - as a cowboy/country hipster. In this live album, as well as his studio albums, he is basically saying, "Hey, I love country-music. But what would happen if we took a country-song and turned it into a jazz-number? A blues-number?"

If we're completely honest, Lovett's incorporation of jazz, blues, and big-band has helped attract people to country-music who might not pay heed to it in the first place.

I know I'm rambling, but, if you take a listen to this live album, everything I've written here will make sense.

Peace and God bless.

Lyle Lovett Live In Texas Poster

One decade's oddity is the next decade's institution. Or at least that's been the case with Lyle Lovett. The Lone Star eccentric emerged in the 1980s ostensibly as a country artist, but it became clear pretty quickly that a Southern accent and a pair of cowboy boots does not a Nashville favorite make. In time, however, Lovett's free-range brand of swing, blues, gospel, folk, and whatever has been embraced by a coterie of fans who have as little interest in genres as their hero. Live in Texas is something of a valentine to them--as well as an in-concert 13-year career summary for the uninitiated. Rife with live staples ("That's Right," "If I Had a Boat," "She's No Lady," and "North Dakota," which features an appearance by Rickie Lee Jones), the 14-track showcase certifies what loyalists have known for years: Lovett is one of the best bandleaders around. He and his crack crew get big and get small as needed, punching up uptempo numbers with brass or stripping down to the bare essentials for ballads. Taking it all in, one can't help concluding there's absolutely nothing odd about that. --Steven Stolder
