Lyle Lovett

Today we realized we had neglected Lyle Lovett for too long. This article will catch us up fully on Mr. Lovett’s exquisite music. A just outcome for a worthy musician. 

Do you remember the first time you listened to Pontiac Lyle’s first album? I do, as it was the summer of my senior year of high school when I spent just about every weekend at Cascadilla Creek and Flat Rock, reading the latest Thomas McGuane or Don Delillo. Pontiac was one of the first cassettes I listened to on my new Sony Walkman while the creek flowed.

Have you ever been interested in shaking a swarm of honey bees? Lots of folks are doing so these days or are interested in doing so. In this video, I talk about how to go about it & the fact that you don’t really need fancy equipment to temporarily house a swarm of bees. Sure hope you enjoy the video & are having a fantastic day!

Yosemite Valley, United States Published on August 28, 2016 Canon, EOS 60D Free to use under the Unsplash License Two deer in front of Half Dome in Yosemite Valley during sunset. I spent the evening in Yosemite Valley watching the sun go down on Half Dome when a couple of deer walked toward me. I took the opportunity to take this picture of them before moving out of their way so they could walk away undisturbed. It was a very beautiful experience and one of the best sunsets I've ever witnessed.

“Simple Song” is such a well-composed lyric. Something truly profound occurs when you listen to this song. You will notice a stirring that occurs inside the deepest part of your heart as this is one of those richly beautiful textured, nuanced compositions that deserve your full attention. I almost forgot to include this great number. 

Simple Song: Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt and Joe Ely

Lyle Lovett singing Simple Song puts fellow musicians John Hiatt and Joe Ely into a reflective mood. On Songwriters’ Circle October 15th, 2010.

Lyle Lovett and Rickie Lee Jones – North Dakota (Live)

 

And the boys from North Dakota; They drink whiskey for their fun. And the cowboys down in Texas; They polish up their guns. And they look across the border To learn the ways of love… If you love me, say, “I love you”. If you love me say, “I do”. If you love me, say, “I love you”. If you love me, say, “I do”. And you can say, “I love you” And you can say, “I do” So I drank myself some whiskey. And I dreamed I was a cowboy. And I rode across the border. If you love me, say, “I love you”. If you love me take my hand. If you love me, say, “I love you”. If you love me take my hand. And you can say, “I love you”, And you can have my hand. I remember in the morning waking up With your arms around my head. You told me, “You can sleep forever And I’ll still hold you then.” Now the weather’s getting colder, And It’s even cold down here. And the words that you have told me They hang frozen in the air. And sometimes I look right through them As if they were not there…

Lyle Lovett – LA County

Lyrics
She left Dallas for California
With an old friend by her side
Well he did not say much
But one year later
He’d ask her to be his wife
And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side
One year later I left Houston
With an old friend by my side
Well it did not say much
But it was a beauty
Of a coal black .45
And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side
So I drove on all the day long
And I drove on through the night
And I thought of her a’waiting
For to be his blushing bride
And the lights of L.A. County
They looked like diamonds in the sky
As I drove into the valley
With my old friend at my side
And as she stood there at the altar
All dressed in her gown of white
Her face was bright as stars a’shining
Like I’d dreamed of all my life
And they kissed each other
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye
And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you’re kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side
And the lights of L.A. County
Are a mighty pretty sight
When you’re kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side

Lyle Lovett – On Imus in the Morning

I know Don Imus is somewhat controversial, but consider the good works in balance with some unfortunate words and deeds of the past. This is a good interview and Lyle studio live performance. I do miss Don Imus, his humor was sopmorphic at times but he was an avid reader, lover of interesting people, and an accidental/intentional good samaritan with his ranch for kids with cancer and the siblings of children passed early from Sids.

Robert Earl Keen & Lyle Lovett on this old porch

Lyle Lovett – This Old Porch

This Old Porch.

The old porch where Lyle Lovett and Robert Earl Keen first met back in the 1970s as Texas A&M students are gone. Although paved over now, the porch paved the way for an undying friendship between these talented musicians.

“The Front Porch Song,” which Lovett and Keen wrote, was inspired by that meeting, Keen once told a Texas Report writer. “We used to sit on this old porch on Church Street, right across from the Presbyterian church, play bluegrass and folk music, and talk about girls and where we would move to when our parents saw our grades. We’d talk about someday becoming big songwriters.”

Written by Keen with Lovett, the song first appeared on Lovett’s groundbreaking 1986 debut album, which was one of the LPs issued during the time Steve Earle jokingly referred to as Nashville and country music’s “great credibility scare,” predating the arrival of the Americana music movement by nearly a decade.
