Vanskelig å komme ut av køntri/americana-kjøret når det finnes så mye fint der:
Step Inside This House is the seventh album by
Lyle Lovett, released in 1998. In contrast with his earlier albums, populated mostly by songs penned by Lovett,
House is a double-length album of
cover songs written by fellow
Texans.
In choosing songs to record, Lovett favored songwriters whose works influenced his own style instead of immensely popular artists whose name recognition might boost sales. The writers selected include
Robert Earl Keen,
Michael Martin Murphey,
Willis Alan Ramsey, and
Guy Clark. The second disc is largely dedicated to songs written by
Steven Fromholz,
Townes Van Zandt and
Walter Hyatt, with the final track being a traditional piece.
The title track was written by Guy Clark but does not appear on any of his albums. After learning the song from Clark, Lovett fell in love with it, and Clark gave him permission to include it on this album.
