Lyle Lovett er en av mine favoritter og en allsidig herremann. Han har vært dårlig representert både på WiMP og Spotify, men man finner mangt på YouTube.

Tråden er etter et knapt døgn flyttet fra "YouTube hjørnet" til "Musikk-avdelingen":
[...] Korfor er en tråd om Lyle Lovett plassert under Off topic?
Jeg plasserte den i "YouTube hjørnet", men overså helt at det [av en eller annen grunn] er et underbruk av "Off-topic". Kanskje den og flere andre [musikk]tråder i "YouTube hjørnet" bør flyttes til "Musikk-avdelingen"?

Red Rocks Amphitheater morgenen 20.06.1991


Chuck Richardson

We used 2 cameras and an empty Red Rocks Amphitheater for the background on the morning of June 20, 1991. Lyle Lovette recorded this song live for ABC's In Concert series honoring the Grateful Dead. I was setting up for a wide shot when Lyle asked me politely on the side if I could get his girlfriend into the picture. I thought this was very sweet and did the best I could to discreetly include her in the background. Within a few months of this video Lyle was dating Julia Roberts. I've wondered if these shots with his young girlfriend in them affected the situation.

L.A. County


Noen har hevdet at "L.A. County" fra albumet "Pontiac" kanskje er den beste sangen som er skrevet om sjalusi.

http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/lovett-lyle/la-county-868.html

She left Dallas for California
With an old friend by her side
Well he did not say much
But one year later
He'd ask her to be his wife

And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side

One year later I left Houston
With an old friend by my side
Well it did not say much
But it was a beauty
Of a coal black .45

And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side

So I drove on all the day long
And I drove on through the night
And I thought of her a'waiting
For to be his blushing bride

And the lights of L.A. County
They looked like diamonds in the sky
As I drove into the valley
With my old friend at my side

And as she stood there at the altar
All dressed in her gown of white
Her face was bright as stars a'shining
Like I'd dreamed of all my life

And they kissed each other
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye

And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side

And the lights of L.A. County
Are a mighty pretty sight
When you're kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side

She's No Lady


Igjen en strålende tekst, også fra albumet "Pontiac".

http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/lovett-lyle/shes-no-lady-887.html

She hates my mama
She hates my daddy too
She loves to tell me
She hates the things I do
She loves to lie beside me
Almost every night
She's no lady she's my wife

The preacher asked her
And she said I do
The preacher asked me
And she said yes he does too
And the preacher said
I pronounce you 99 to life
Son she's no lady she's your wife

And I can't remember
How I met her
Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm
And I can't remember
How I ever
Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm

And even though
She loves the smell of French perfume
And even though
She walks around in high-heel shoes
All I know
Is I'm the one who pays her price
Man she's no lady she's my wife

And I can't remember
How I met her
Seems like she's always just been hanging here off my right arm
And I can't remember
How I ever
Thought that I just couldn't live without a woman's charm

Yea she hates my mama
She hates my daddy too
She loves to tell me
She hates the things I do
She loves to lie beside me
Almost every night
She's no lady she's my wife

Lyle Lovett er suveren han! Han er muligens like suveren som tolker av andres låter som han er som låtskriver. Step inside this house har eg anbefalt flere steder her inne tidligere, og dette er vel en gyllen anledning til å gjøre det igjen. Dobbeltalbum, utelukkende bestående av coverlåter, og utelukkende bestående av låtskrivere fra Texas, deriblant far sjøl; Townes. Aller best er muligens en helt hinsides versjon av Ballad of the Snow Leopard and the Tanqueray Cowboy (David Rodriguez). Finner ikkje studioversjonen på tuben, men her er en live tapning


Og her tittelkuttet signert plateaktuelle Guy Clark. Tekst og melodi som går utenpå nokså mye


Men ps!

Korfor er en tråd om Lyle Lovett plassert under Off topic?

NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert med Luke Bulla


NPR Music

For all of Lyle Lovett's considerable artistic gifts — a distinctive voice, easygoing charisma, rare talent for wordplay — his greatest attribute may be the way he radiates infectious calm. He's a one-time tabloid fixture who writes wry, bittersweet songs of longing, but Lovett in person is like a vortex into which stress and drama disappear. That's especially true now that he's fulfilled his obligations to his longtime record label: Lovett not only showed up at NPR Music's offices without an entourage, but also booked his Tiny Desk Concert himself, emailing us out of the blue to express his interest. (Our reply: "We would only agree to have you perform a Tiny Desk Concert if it's under any conceivable circumstance.")

So it's appropriate that Lovett would open this performance at the NPR Music offices by performing "Cowboy Man," the first track on his 1986 debut: He may be a music-industry veteran, but in many ways, he's starting over. With a fresh-faced accompanist in fiddler and backup singer Luke Bulla, Lovett gives a loose, engaging performance that feels like both an introduction and a victory lap.

He follows "Cowboy Man" with two songs from 1989's Lyle Lovett and His Large Band, so this is no mere promotional appearance. With nothing in particular to promote — though he did put out an album of covers, Release Me, earlier in the year — Lovett seems motivated primarily by the sheer joy of playing his songs. His pleasure is infectious. --STEPHEN THOMPSON

Helt enig, dette er ikke off topic i noen grad i det hele tatt. On topic, musikk, i aller høyste grad

Noen har hevdet at "L.A. County" fra albumet "Pontiac" kanskje er den beste sangen som er skrevet om sjalusi.

L.A. County Lyrics - Lyle Lovett. Album: Anthology, Vol. 1: Cowboy Man

She left Dallas for California
With an old friend by her side
Well he did not say much
But one year later
He'd ask her to be his wife

And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side

One year later I left Houston
With an old friend by my side
Well it did not say much
But it was a beauty
Of a coal black .45

And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side

So I drove on all the day long
And I drove on through the night
And I thought of her a'waiting
For to be his blushing bride

And the lights of L.A. County
They looked like diamonds in the sky
As I drove into the valley
With my old friend at my side

And as she stood there at the altar
All dressed in her gown of white
Her face was bright as stars a'shining
Like I'd dreamed of all my life

And they kissed each other
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye

And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side

And the lights of L.A. County
Are a mighty pretty sight
When you're kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side

Ikke bare er teksten helt fantastisk, men hvordan denne sangen bygger seg opp til et klimaks på siste verset er en genistrek og godt musikalsk håndtverk.

Jeg liker de tidlige albumene til Lyle, spesielt Pontiac. Etter hvert så gikk han litt vel mye over styr med å jazze opp countrymusikken sin synes jeg.

Fikk tak i en såkalt presentasjons boks med noen Lyle Lovett plater.
Her er mine favoritter representert.
Lyle Lovett 1986.
Pontiac 1987. Kanon skiver begge to.
Lyle Lovett and his large band 1989. Bra den og.

Snurrer også" Release Me" 2012 med jevne mellomrom og synes den er ei bra skive.
