Lyle Lovett and his Large Band - Church

Very attractive, mixed up R&B Gospel styled, have a visit at this church and enjoy!

[@dianedodge1129]

I love that Lyle always wears a suit. He's as respectful of his audience as he is of his band. He just impresses me as a beautiful person.

[@barblewis1096]

And we are always look good if we can when we go before the Lord. " Come as you are." doesn't really mean clothes unless you just don't have nice clothes. Come as you are - a sinner who is wants to be saved!

[@bluestarheaven6012]

I Wearing a suit is alwais impress neat ,tidy atmosphere. I think lyle lovett is the first person who fuse big band jazz into country music. He is so cool ! I think that he is too underrated. Evryone shoud notice his music's real worth.

[@timtwotone3561]

I have pretty much all of Lyle Lovett’s recordings. I had heard of him and seen him him in a movie, so when he toured Australia I went to see him in Perth. We had a huge storm that night and there was quite a bit of hail damage and flooding. We had to walk from our hotel to the venue as taxis were not available. Kasey Chambers was the support act, and was on time, but Lyle and his small band were delayed and only just got to the venue in time to play. I have never been so mesmerised by a band as I was that night, and I have seen Zeppelin, the Stones et al. Incomparable musicianship, songs and an absolute mastery of their craft, in-dispersed with the most dry humour. I went home the next day and ordered the complete back catalogue. Come back to OZ Lyle!

Love this song. It['s fantastic. Daddy was a preacher and known for going long. Mom packed saltines in her bag for us. (I'm now 58) We didn't have Townhouse yet and Ritz were for rich people. We never saw him eat a raw dove but he did have a fly go into his mouth once. The choir saw it and it was hard for him to eat raisin pudding for some time. Thanks for posting! I'm grinning right now. :)

[@davidscott7626]

Lyle Lovett is a true treasure in the music business. Sad that most people don't get it. Mostly because they just don't listen. He's not everybody's cup of tea, but there is no denying his talent.

[@kernelcorny7658]

This is true and I am guilty. And I was in the front row dozens of time when he opened for a main act at Andersons Fair in the early 1980s. But I finally got it. Listen to the lyrics. His vocabulary is complicated. And a singing voice does not make it easier..

[@tonyraven540]

we need a genre of music called "Lyle"

[@Katy51844]

Love this song and love the man. I was just driving through town today listening to this CD. And when we were kids (now 68) my grandma kept "be quiet cookies" in her purse. We now eat them and they are known as windmill cookies. But they'll always be be quiet cookies to us.

[@Katy51844]

LOVE THIS SONG! Really all the songs on this CD. I love the way he lets his voice and music be the show instead of being a "showman". That voice is way good enough!

[@Walnut28Comms]

Awesome! Makes me feel not quite so white and soul-less! Love Lyle...but also love his very large band!

[@franciscolima7117]

my girlfriend Patty is so in love with Lyle Lovett she listens to his music over and over, her favorite song is this old porch and just loves the way he looks in it ,,, it don't bother me none she's happy I'm happy

[@sallynelson741]

That's my favourite track to. How I found my big ol' Jamaican self loving Lyle is a mystery, well not, good music, good lyrics and a great story will grab anyone.

[@tomandsusie]

Joshua Judges Ruth.......by far the best recording ever made. I have been listening to it since the early 90's. I still have it in my changer in my car.

[@Yapostadodat]

Great song with a GREAT soulful sound! Thanks for this post.

[@Theredneckpicker]

Man I love this song!! FAVORITE!!

[@buzzzurk]

I'm an atheist. Never was a believer. But honestly,... I love this!! :)

[@gonfishn1970]

Jesus died for atheists also Gotta love him

[@buzzzurk]

A chicken died for my lunch today. :)

[@USNAVDC]

Lyle Lovett is a music machine!!!

[@Yapostadodat]

Lyle's look is VERY endearing, Earthy and American! He's got a very graceful mix of homely and handsome qualities that only ADD to his performance. You know this guy is for real and knows about which he sings.

[@Braktooth]

This was the song that turned me onto Lyle. Great, great tune.

[@gonfishn1970]

i love that man and his music I still have cassette tapes

[@bc647]

[@uyd]

[@buckyrush123]

Uber talented.... Lyle has now been around 25-30 years and has influenced countless young artists... LL Rocks!!!!

[@dianedodge1129]

Lyle is a righteous Dude.

[@Broblem12]

Awesome song. Glad that I first got to know this when I was sharing time with my ma, and my dad. Miss you Ma. Miss you Dad.

[@buyandsellphilly]

Hands down..best LL song ever!

[@AvgDude]

LL is a fantastic musician, as good as they come.

[@havenmorrison9145]

I have been in love with Lyle and his interpretation of life and music for 25 years....grew up.in Dallas but a North Carolina girl!

[@davidfelton2012]

Long is the struggle, hard the fight!

[@georgiapeach7666]

Yes Lawd and preach it!

[@1971alicat]

thanks for sharing! Love me some Lyle and his large band!

[@isobelmckellar3777]

Gotta love Lyle's unique style of singing. A bit bluesy and a great beat!!!

[@44thuserid]

both incredible artists .. twin sons of different mothers...

[@verderhapsody]

Man, I remember an old pastor from a church I use to attend as a kid gave an ending prayer well over 10 minutes. And this was after a sermon that was well over an hour. I dont mind spending some extra time in church. But that pastor was giving an Summary of his sermon in that sending out prayer.(In case we or God forgot what he just talked about 😂) It was a habbit that he had. Even my very conservative parents thought that he was weird for doing that. If your sermon(s) are constantly that long that you have a habbit of giving summaries in an ending prayer as if to remind God what you talked about, you need to trim the time just a bit. 😂

[@ajfoxw]

Oh my goodness! I was listening and then suddenly I noticed Lyle's haircut. He should always wear it like that. He looks like the leader of a Large Band!

[@To3by]

I dare you to sit still when he performs this! Fabulous LYLE!

[@kristinedrinkwater8617]

Turn it up ! thank you Mr Lovett Iloved your concert in ct! you are fantastic

[@bender138]

I am a huge Lyle Lovett fan,but how about a shout out for Maxine Reed while we are at it? The woman is freaking amazing!

[@jennymcmillin5668]

bender138 Francine Reed. Amazing! Was Atlanta’s own until about two years ago when she moved to be with a sick son in Texas, I believe. She’s a phenom!

[@stecklein7]

Amazing...

[@danceYOURheartOUT430]

lovelovelove this song.

[@lab21125]

one of a kind, smooth as butter!

[@Multimeli123]

I love you Lyle Lovett...and you are sooooo HANDSOME~~~

[@rabid17]

This is an excellent song to blaze to.

[@queenie7310]

Lyle Lovett. A Wizard. A True Star. I could get a root canal to his music and feel good about my gawd damn chin hairs.

[@kathythrasher542]

i wanna go to church

[@barblewis1096]

Praise the Lord. GO!!!!

[@Katy51844]

THAT'S who I was seeing when watching him. Thanks

[@WeaslyIsOurKing]

Favorite Lyle Lovett song :)

[@mrnobody9104]

love this dude and his band! apparently not as much as my baby sister whose son is aptly named Lyle! Happy 50th yesterday Bon.........

[@jodicox5661]

Fantastic

[@Mark8395217]

Tell it all Lyle... Tell it all !!!!

[@1montkosh]

Lord have mercy.

[@youcanbesmartaskhow3857]

I was going thru a breakup- you know when you split up your cds it's really over- she saw my Lyle cds she didn't know about and I swear she thought about working things out for about 2 seconds- I told her there's a lot she dont know about me and I left....love me some Lyle Lovett!!

[@tommyandtammy1]

great video thanks for sharing.God bless.

[@Katy51844]

My mom always kept Windmill Cookies for us in church. They are now known in our family as "be quiet cookies".

[@Fabulousdisaster]

this is my favorite song, and i'm an atheist. but i'm also a foodie.

[@martinlynn3699]

Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.

[@tmf945]

Goddam Sunday Go To Meetin' Music, good for the soul and what ails you....

[@mrzeegrr]

Ahhh....that hit the spot.

[@David_Richard_241]

I would go to this church.

[@Geepereet]

I will get that recording for sure being a bit hooked on his style being busy with this video, thanks for the info.

[@dodootjes]

GOTTA LOVETT!

[@Katy51844]

I didn't hear Behar's remark. But I agree with you. I think his inside shows out, and both are beautiful.

[@loudenm]

Love him

[@MaryGerdt]

Excellent!

[@tms6279]

This has to be the best dressed band in America.

[@TheRealForrestGeorge]

GREAT QUALITY

[@halomiz]

The studio version is on Joshua Judges Ruth.... definitely a favorite.... You should check out the vid version on Lyle's site... I'm getting hungry for cornbread!

[@marygombos8740]

Lyle lovette hits

[@marthacoombs4050]

yes I totally agree!!!

[@thepad4197]

at the age of 8 yrs old, I stood up in churchbas theyvsang "JYST AS I AM"and said take me to thev"texise"(baptismal) after the letter of faith was signed we had a community gathering with everyone brining a covered dinner, sld c

[@Mrjoeypizzi]

good stuff!!!!

[@MyMoppet52]

@GenghisWanghis usually it;s us people who have high blood pressure. Salt is always needed if you can't have it! :)

[@Katy51844]

You bet! Never thought of it that way. I'm guessing you've heard Lyle and Elvis Costello doing Long Tall Texan. Lyle can sing with anybody and sound great.

[@softxe_x.x6273]

o yes

[@rogeralsop3479]

A fine band.

[@MrJojogun]

@tms6279 Always found it funny that most of us get giddied up,as we embark on that journey...as if to put our best foot forward.

[@yuv5]

so how DOES Lyle manage to stand nearly perfectly still through this whole song?

[@tipsana]

This swings from Robert Johnson to MLK; Love this story.

[@Drumndabluz]

@tomandsusie Very few Sunday mornings go by that I don`t play this disc!!!

[@lizziecaldwell6513]

smart and shines owner realy good :)

[@wyzz69]

The dove is a reference to Jesus; the 'no salt or pepper' means that there is nothing to make it/Him more palatable.

[@Katy51844]

My favorites by Lyle - Church and That's Right You're Not From Texas. No, wait, There's Long Tall Texas and Road to Ensanada and . . . . .

[@rogeralsop3479]

This is in motion!

[@Bluelew777]

yep

[@Geepereet]

Its all the same with myself Paula!

[@mshka01]

chose the lord

[@saleens7austin]

5:18 is priceless.

[@ttmilbr]

Good lookin' 'do. Way better than the wacky thing he sported in the 80's. Whatever, his music's always been great.

[@mikec.9130]

Great fucking song ---

[@WildmanfxSTC]

L o v e I t !!!!!

[@preachersdtr1]

Beautiful picture quality. Unfortunately, portions of Lyle's lyrics are drowned out when the back-up singers step up to their mikes. On the plus side, the back-up singers are electrifying when featured.

[@avapepper]

Excellent live performance, thanks very much for posting it. But...What ever happened to the video (in black and white, of course, lol) to this song? It was good and fine and to be made much over. Is it not "officially" good anymore?

[@maxangst6833]

It's Francine Reed! Not Maxine

[@locolarry8982]

Joe Bonamossa on guitar? Diggin some LL and see a young Joe.

[@Pantokraterix]

@pharmfarm59538 Not sure there's such a thing as dove sushi! :-)

[@lsigler]

Francine!!!

[@BC25citizen]

@spoonman2010 Live in Texas

[@stevejulian]

You want to know what cool is? Just listen to Lyle Lovett and his Large Band.

[@Geepereet]

What's the point about 'no salt or pepper' ?

[@theoriginalstarwarsdan]

now there's some soul food

[@sharonthomas2341]

yep...most churches don't have time for much...they are in a hurry to go eat and fellowship

[@marthacoombs4050]

Lol, that's hilarious!

[@Skyhawkct]

Hah...Katy when I posted that...there were 4 dislikes. Now 7 people have to watch out! ;-)

[@Skyhawkct]

4 people better watch out for the judgement day! ;-)
