| I was in a local cd/dvd "Buy,Sell or Trade"
store when I decided to look in the Lyle Lovett section. I think I
have 4 of his albums, but I hadn't listened to him in a while, so
I picked this up... one that I browsed curiously by several times
in the past. Upon reading the lineup of musicians, I thought to myself...
this has got to be good. The core line-up includes Dean Parks(guitars),
Leland Sklar(bass), Matt Rollings(piano), Paul Franklin(pedal steel),
Luis Conte(percussion) and Russell Kunkel(drums), who happens to be
one of my all-time favorite drummers. This is a really up beat album
for Lyle, with a few of his usual zany, tongue-in-cheek twists and
obscure little ballads, but for the most part, it's a straight-up,
easy listen by one of the best wordsmiths out there. This is a great
one for people wanting to discover what Lyle is about. |
