In the Spotlight: Lyle Lovett

Apr 27, 5:00pm Cover Me
In the Spotlight showcases a cross-section of an artist's cover work. View past installments, then post suggestions for future picks in the comments! When Lyle Lovett first arrived, the country music scene was proud to call the tall Texan one of their own. As his career developed, though, the top-twenty hits dried up, and the establishment took a wary step back. Lovett's songs may have had a southern feel, but they were also infused with folk, jazz, blues, and big band (make that "large band"), and there was nothing formulaic about his lyrics, which never met a cliche they couldn't [...]

A History of Country Vol. 17: 1984-89

Apr 18, 7:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A History of Country Vol. 17: 1984-89 The 1980s were the MTV years; as radio once helped spread country beyond its natural habitat, so did TV channels dedicated to broadcasting country music disseminate the new crop of stars. As importantly, for the first time since Jennings and Nelson attracted the attention of rock fans, some country singers, such as Earle and Yoakam, were acknowledged by the rock press. County, or at least some strands of it, was hip again. The rock press also rediscovered legends such as George Jones and Dolly Parton. So Parton's collaboration with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt was celebrated as a music event [...]

Saved! Vol. 3

Apr 4, 7:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Saved! Vol. 3 With Easter approaching, here's a third mix of songs that relate in some way or another to the Christian faith, following the Saved! 1 and Saved! 2 mixes. The first drew from verious ages and genres of music, the second comprised soul musicians doing God music. This lot comes from rock, folk, country and indie backgrounds. Some artists featured here are devout believers, some are sceptics, some are people one wouldn't necessarily have down as being even remotely religious (Cave, Waits). Most are original songs, a few are covers (for example, Wilco covers Woody [...]

Album Review: Lyle Lovett – Release Me

Mar 6, 7:56am Consequence Of Sound
Lyle Lovett has worn many hats since emerging on the country scene in the mid-8os, many of which have not been of the 10-gallon variety. The proud Texan singer-songwriter, with the aid of his large (not big) band, has negotiated an eclectic career that has deftly combined elements of country, folk, jazz, and the blues, all tied neatly together by a transcendent voice that can capture the cool grit of an outlaw on one song and reflect the frailty of a wounded lover the next. On Release Me , Lovett plies this musical dexterity to offer lovely renderings of [...]

Lyle Lovett: Release Me

Feb 29, 2:00am PopMatters
It's easy to discuss the subtleties of Lyle Lovett, because subtleties are all he has. I admit, part of me wants to tie up Lyle Lovett and leave him in the desert, just to get him to scream or cuss or react in an appropriately unsubtle fashion. But since I, like Lovett, grew up Lutheran, I have learned to suppress such urges. And anyway, no matter what you might think of Lovett, he's beaten you to it. There he is on the cover of his eleventh album Release Me, tied...

Single Song Sunday: If I Needed You (17 solo, duo, & full band transformations of a Townes Van Zandt classic)

Jan 28, 5:19pm Cover Lay Down
Single Song Sunday: If I Needed You (17 solo, duo, & full band transformations of a Townes Van Zandt classic) Apocryphally, If I Needed You came to Townes Van Zandt wholesale, in a dream, wherein he envisioned himself a famous folksinger, and the song as his biggest hit. When he awoke, he wrote the song down, changing but one line in transcription, and the rest, as they say, is history. Of course, Townes did indeed become famous, though partially posthumously, and surely not on the same scale as he envisioned in his nocturnal emissions. But as I've noted several times in these virtual pages, I discovered the work of [...]

Lyle Lovett - Release Me

Lyle Lovett - White Freight Liner
Lyle Lovett - After 25 years of major label releases, it's only fitting that the legendary Texas songwriter's final project carry the title Release Me . But true to form, Lovett makes what is admittedly a mixed bag -- a couple of holiday favorites and some interesting covers that he's been playing live over the years -- into something worthwhile...k.d. lang duets on the showstopping title track // Release : Release Me (February 28, Lost Highway) // Sounds like : what could have been simply a somewhat disjointed (but 14-track generous) collection [...]

Lyle Lovett: Songs for the Season

Lyle Lovett: Songs for the Season A three-song holiday treat from Lyle Lovett This three-song EP from Lyle Lovett includes jazzy covers of Vince Guaraldi's "Christmastime is Here" and Frank Loesser's "Baby, It's Cold Outside," with vocalist Kat Edmonson serving as harmonist and foil. There's also a sly new original, "The Girl with the Holiday Smile." The latter is slated to reappear on Lovett's next album, but the cool yuletide covers are only available here.

Lyle Lovett

Nov 22, 2011, 4:51am Christmas A Go Go!
Lyle Lovett Lyle Lovett is one of the few alt.country-stars who succesfully blends irony, melancholy and uncut anger in his songs. Thanks to the mighty Stubby (the best Christmasblog out there), I know now that Lyle recorded a few seasonal songs. Two covers with the lovely Kat Edmondson, one original. In which he sings about an encounter with 'a hooker at the grocery store', the 'girl with the holiday smile.' Stubby also mentioned another Christmas(-y) song Lovett recorded way back in the 90s, the absolutely beautiful Christmas Morning. Lyle Lovett - The girl with the [...]
