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.
Free Music Review: Lyle leads a great band
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great live album. Lovett has a fantastic band of about 16-18 people, and this album really showcases the talent that he has surrounded himself with.
The recording is top-notch, and the songs are all good. I have seen him live, and this is an excellent representation of what you'll get... You won't be disappointed.

After seeing Lyle in Oshkosh, Wisconsin last month, I find that I have been playing LL's live album in the car over and over remembering what a professional performance I saw at Leach Amphitheatre. It was a warm night,with temps in the high 80's with a half-moon rising over the nearby river, much like a Texas night. Lyle played for two and a-half hours. It was a great and relaxing time for my wife Debbie and I. A perfect evening. WOW!
