Lyle Lovett | Broken Record

Today on the show, we’re welcoming Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter, Lyle Lovett. Lovett follows in the footsteps of Texas troubadours like Guy Clark, Walter Hyatt, and Townes Van Zandt.
In 1986, Lovett helped lay the foundation for the alternative country and Americana movements with his debut, self-titled album. Since then, he has continued to light up country music with a rich blend of country, big band, blues, folk, and jazz. All of those sounds are on display in 12th of June-his first new album in a decade.
On today’s episode Lovett speaks to Bruce Headlam about his new album, a project rooted in home and family, which makes sense considering at 64 years-old, he’s a new dad to twins. Lovett also shares stories of his early days playing gigs around Texas A&M.

Lyle likes to be in a room with smart, capable people. I enjoyed listening to an interview with a smart person conducted by a capable interviewer. Time well spent.

[@artemisXsidecross]

Thank you for the interview which included the mentioning of Matt Rollings as a contributor to Lyle Lovett’s recordings. Matt Rolling recent album is worth a listen. It includes Lyle Lovett, Rambling Jack Elliott, and others too.

Don't know what you mean. Was this live?

[@jasongose2975]

One of my favorite artists, and Joshua Judges Ruth is a masterpiece!! Thank you.

[@jppryer5982]

Anything but what you’re about to say ! Ain’t that the truth ! Every time ! Thank you love you

[@darlulittledeer3738]

loved it

[@davidgarza1301]

I think you are referring to Guy Clark in the troubadour peer intro. Gary Clark Jr. is awesome but he’s a Texas bluesman playing a different genre of music.

[@justinrichmond9652]

I love Guy Clark ... ooops

[@mattdylan664]

Great share, thanks!

[@mjau65]

So disillusioned Keep your head down If you do, they'll never know You'll have no answers to their questions And they will have to let you go

[@douglasmcintyre3297]

F$%king what? I believe you were referring to one of the greatest iconic Texas songwriters emeritus of all time: the great "Guy" Clark. Not "Gary" Clark, whomever the hell he is! Jeez Louise, Man!! Way to mischaracterize one of Lovett's greatest Texas songwiting heros in the first 25 seconds!
