I love how Lyle Lovett doesn’t move much on stage but his blues influence and amazing sense of time has me bobbing my head, tapping my feet and smiling. Love him! I’ve gotten my big break just this year! I’m 58 and play in 2 bands now. A traditional Irish session band and a folk cover band. Tomorrow I will be playing at the local farmers market. It may not be Carnegie hall, but I’m having the best time of my life making music!

[@banjoist123]

Lyle's an old friend and former band mate. The first time I heard him sing was in a Mr. Gatti's Pizza in College Station, Texas in 1978 in front of a bunch of drunk A&M students. My instant reaction was that it was the most naturally beautiful voice I'd ever heard, on a par with Low Rawls. His Large Band performances today are amazing to see. He is a consummate showman as well.

[@mattpujol4787]

He's a consummate showman yet with such kindness and grace and respect for fellow musicians. I've seen him with the Large Band and he had a local church youth choir sing on stage with him. Can you imagine showing up to Wednesday night choir practice and the director says "I've got a special request..."?

[@ArchieGoodwin71]

I love Lyle's voice. Saw him live last year with the large band. Beautiful music of Texas, Country, Western, Jazz, Blues, and Gospel. I love his songs and he goes out of his way to give all the musicians in his band moments to shine. Even if country is not your thing see him live if you can.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

ArchieGoodwin71 Couldn’t agree more. I grew up listening to classic rock, punk & thrash, but I heard Lyle around ‘86/87 (maybe on Letterman) & was immediately captivated by his voice & lyrics. I’ve seen him a couple times & they’re up there with my favorite shows. He truly is a class act.

[@scotth3354]

I first learned of Leo Kottke in the late 70s. On one of his album covers, there was a snippet of someone’s interview with him. When asked why he didn’t sing, “I have a voice like goose farts on a muggy morning “.

I saw Lyle Lovett and his big band in a small venue back in the late 80s and he was great. I’ll never forget it because I brought my 8 year old daughter with me and we sat in the front row. It was a nighttime show and she fell asleep. Lyle stopped the show at one point to acknowledge her with some kind words. Great guy, great music!

Always been a Lyle Lovett fan AND a Leo Kottke fan! “ That’s no lady, she’s my wife “ is a favorite, and “ Vaseline machine gun “ from Kottke. I’ve never really considered Lovett a capital “ C” country guy ( more of a progressive alt country/Texas swing/cow punk sort of a thing ) but, it is closer to what he does than anything else. A. Clever songwriter with a wry sense of humor and a texture in his voice that you can’t get any other way besides mileage! Annnnd Kottke... what the hell can you say about him?!? Plays guitar like he has twenty-seven fingers, unflappable sense of a groove... just amazing! Great video!

Love this duet and love your video Phil. Guitar Tourette's is really funny. I don't know if you have ever been to a Leo Kottke concert but the stories are often as entertaining as the guitar playing. A really good example of the stories and the Tourette's is from a live album he did a while ago. Track is called "Combat". It is on KZbin but just a recording so you can't see him play. But, story is funny and guitar Tourette's at its finest. I could listen to that all day!

Thanks for another great analysis! My parents got to see him and Robert Earl Keen in some of their first performances while they were at Texas A&M (my dad was 2 years ahead of them) as they played at the coffee shop under the Student Union and bars around the university. Humble beginnings for two amazing performers. Edit: BTW - Lyle didn't start playing guitar or performing until he was in High School. Not sure about Robert, but Lyle was a solo act during college and Robert had his "Front Porch Gang". Both were doing covers during that time and didn't start doing original stuff until after they graduated.

[@dennisodell3040]

Chris Trott - what a treat that must have been for your parents. Lyle Lovett and REK collaborated on lots of music, but IMHO the best is “This Old Porch”, which talks about those days. Dub Miller covers This Old Porch in a tribute to REK, and part way through tells a funny story about Lyle and how he got thrown out of the Dixie Chicken. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIvChXqlfL6Wqs0

The first time Mr. Lovett gained my attention was with a vid covering The Grateful Dead's "Friend of the Devil". I played that VHS a lot.

Also, I've noticed that you haven't yet reviewed Kenny Wayne Shepherd - here's a recent example of his playing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmqtlWOOhLmZZ8k.

Great video Fil. It’s hard for me to think of many or any overnight sensations. It may look like it to the general public but there is always some kind of continuous musical activity in the background that people can’t see. A lot of listening to music, busking, playing small venues, etc. being a background vocalist.. And there’s people like Nick Drake, William Blake, Van Gogh who don’t make it until well after they’re gone. It’s still worth even in the last case because the person still makes an impact.

This is such an education, I never really listened to Lyle Lovett much before now.

Great find! I would never have imagined these two guys together. Like Liberace and Eric Clapton. Must have been easy for Leo after playing the 12-string so much.

Good for you for seeing Leo is a constant noodler ! been a huge fan for ages... try his Acoustic album 'Regards from Chuck Pink' or ' One Guitar no vocals '.
