Free Music Review: Something for Everyone
Hit: 5 Stars
I have only recently discovered Lyle Lovett, having ignored him for far too long, thinking I wouldn't like his country music. But I just saw him in person and was blown away by the beauty of his voice and the poignancy of his songs. More than a "country" singer, Lovett crosses a line that makes him far more versatile than that. The strong, strange features of his face stand in sharp contrast to his soft, lovely, sorrowful voice. This album, his debut, has several songs that touch me: "God Will" (funny, ironic, and sad at the same time), "Further Down the Line" (mournful song of a rodeo cowboy), " This Old Porch" (poignant), and the rousing "Cowboy Man." Every song tells an interesting story. Lovett's sweet sorrow reminds me of Hank Williams. He seems to have been hurt before and wants to express that. He does it well.
Lyle Lovett Poster
Lyle Lovett sprang up fully-formed in 1986, the bastard child of Randy Newman and Townes Van Zandt. His eponymous debut set the pace for future releases, balancing near-perfect ballads ("If I Were the Man You Wanted," "Closing Time") with wry, black humor romps ("God Will," "An Acceptable Level of Ecstasy"). His singing is also in place here, his voice a subtle expressive tool as dry as the West Texas plains. There are flashes of overproduction, as on the over-amped "You Can't Resist It" (which later found its home on stage in a spare cello arrangement), but overall things are pretty tasteful, like Lovett himself. Also check out Lovett's stunning sophomore effort, Pontiac. --Michael RubyCountry Music CDs
