Lyle Lovett @ Bass Concert Hall, Austin
Show Dates: 11/23/09 at 8:00 PM
Four-time Grammy Award winner Lyle Lovett is equally comfortable in pop, rock, blues and country. Born just outside Houston, Lovett is one of America’s great songwriters and has a gift for big band arrangements that has no precedent among his contemporaries. He also displays a literary talent that has made him part of the tradition of American ironists.
While music should be and is open for interpretation by the listener, Lovett’s new album, IT’S NOT BIG IT’S LARGE, suggests notions of mortality, loss and the fluidity of time. That sounds like heavy-going, but its Lovett’s gift to make the deep thoughts slide down like honey.
