lyle lovette
There are country musicians, jazz musicians and folk musicians, but rarely has there been one musician who incorporates all three styles into one inimitable cohesive whole. Lyle Lovett is one of the few who have taken these styles and infused them with swing, gospel and Americana blues to create a musical landscape that is as spacious and wide-open as his Texas homeland. His latest album, Release Me, spent several weeks at the top of the Americana charts after its February release, mixing a smart collection of originals and songs written by some of his favorite songwriters that show not only the breadth of this legend’s deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences.
