Lyle Lovett - Long Tall Texan

Lyle Lovett Live performing "Long Tall Texan"

[@SwankyShe1]

I went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments with Lyle. He doesn't know it, but this beautiful man with compassion in his soul has brought me through many a trying time. Thank you Lyle - Heck I even named my dog Lyle and he's a sexy little guy just like the man. Love you Lyle, thank you darlin.

I had only heard the Beach Boy's version years ago when I was a kid. So cool to have discovered Lyle's excellent Blues version. Apparently the interwebs are good for something other than cat videos.

[@daviddavidson8050]

Outstanding video and performance! One of the MORE underrated performers in music. 🙏💖🙏😎👑🤠🐎

[@notbraindead7298]

He's extremely underrated. His vocal talent is immense and his stage presence is too!!

[@daviddavidson8050]

@@notbraindead7298 hi, thank you for your comments! This is one of my favorite Lyle Lovett songs and videos. They did it really soulful and blusey. Big band performance and great humor. Great elements for great music for sure! You take care. 🙏💜🤠🥂

[@msmart2u2]

Lyle Lovett's Large Band is the tightest band I've ever heard. It doesn't get any better than this folks.

[@notbraindead7298]

Agreed!!

[@lazydazs]

What a fantastic upbeat version of this classic song from my youth.

[@fahriugurlu681]

[@AzucaNegra16]

YES!!!

[@daveyewart4289]

[@Gfury2000]

Where is the one with Randy Newman? Can't seem to find it on here.

[@nutmegger1957]

The Beach Boys did this song in 1964. Who wrote it?

[@reneemayo2950]

He Rides for Texas like Captain Skull on his big white/grey draft horse in McMurty's Comanche Moon, the prequel to Lonesome Dove. LMAO

Holy smoke. Is that the PIPS singing with him. Lyle has always been sexy. Think about "Cowboy Man"... one of his first!! Rick Jolley Colorado Springs

[@tommy2chips]

Not bad. Not bad at all.

[@stephanearthaud8308]

Wear your clothes: that's a classical, but only you can be in.

[@gbarthg]

This is great musical satire. Gilbert & Sullivan couldn't have done it better. The choreography and Lovett's timing make this stupid song better than it is.

[@nowonderI4get]

Texas ain't Texas any more.

[@TempoDrift1480]

No. These lyrics dont go with the music.

[@billtruttschel]

Too slow.

[@laroudoune]

Too soporific this version, listen rather that of a real countryman named Sleepy Labeef

[@Mongo1940]

Lyle Lovett fits some music style of his own. He doesn't fit Folk or Country music. I went to a folk concert and he was there with cellos, violins and so forth. I figured either he was in the wrong place or I was. If his jokes and monolouge was funny, I never knew, Couldn't understand his mumbling. After suffering through a couple songs of undescribable origin and dubious clarity, I left. Whoever picked him for this show made a big mistake.
