Review for Extended Discs
"Perhaps only a few regular folks know that Lovett is a country music artist, a member of an elite group of Texas songwriters who has combined Tin Pan Alley sophistication, folk directness, and country-and-western storytelling to create a dazzling hybrid form of American music. " Will Layman
Lyle Lovett has a new CD with his glorious "Large Band", and double entendre titled, 'It's Not Big, It's Large.' My best friend and I listened to this CD together. It is dark, funny and oh so sweet. It took only two listens to realize that this CD may be his best. The 12 songs are finely tuned, and the band is more restrained to allow Lyle Lovett's voice and guitar playing to shine through.
'I Will Rise Up' is about death. "And I will rise up / Though I be a dead man / And I will stand tall / Until I meet my end". A bluesy gospel tune.
His next tune,'All Downhill' "A ride a good horse / I like him, of course / I've got a beautiful girlfriend / Sometimes we stay in". "I've had an excellent time so far / There's only one thing I fear / I've been up so long on this lucky star / It could be all downhill from here". Oh, yes, we hear the fun and the warning.
'Don't Cry a Tear', "Go if you must go / Turn if you must turn away / Don't cry a tear for me / Laugh if you can smile / Run if you're walking away / Don't cry a tear for me / Shout if can speak / Sing if you mention my name / Don't cry a tear for me". This is a classic of Lyle Lovett's, a sadness with beautiful guitar playing.
"This Traveling Around" is a simple tune. "And this travelin' around / It's gonna be the death of me" we understand from the lyrics why he can't go home.
'South Texas Girl', is a tune about childhood and parents. "And I didn't know what the words meant or anything / I was just singing."
'Up in Indiana',is a song about a girl named 'Rose', and is a tune with country rockin' and bluegrass band.
'The Alley Song' is the inimitable Lyle Lovett song. "I don't have to see your eyes / To know what you're not thinkin'".
'No Big Deal about a lover who cheats.
'Make It Happy' is joyful. "I am a happy sun of a gun"
'Ain't No More Cane'sounds like a church hymn. Slow and resounding.
"Across this great expanse of transcendent American music, Lyle Lovett emerges as a humble hero. He writes the stories of people struggling with the most important questions of identity, mortality, sex, and justice; he gives his brilliant band and singers a platform for individual expression; and he places the tradition of "country music" within the context of all of America's best music, regardless of style." Jim Newell
This is a CD for the ages. Lyle Lovett has used his resources to match his mood of sadness, fun, death and love. This is the perfect antidote to an everyday humdrum life. Put on the CD, clap your hands, stamp your feet and dance on the ceiling. Country, rock and old time church goin' songs are the forte. Wonderfully written tunes with a message and story. Sure to become a staple for the Lyle Lovett fans.
Highly, Highly recommended. prisrob 09-09-07
