More LYLE

we always love some Lyle Lovett boots and this is no exception from Big O again this morning

Lyle Lovett - Des Moines 1999

Now I LIKE the Big Band stuff he does and I like the Small Band stuff he does but here with the wondrous John Hagan on cello (a true favourite) and on bass with Viktor Krauss this is simply lovely.

This being '99 it is a set supporting the release of that year's album 'Step Inside This House' Lyle's double album of Texan cover songs and none the worse for that.


and the other day (did I mention?) Midnight Cafe posted the most staggering quality set from earlier in the nineties so for this too so we have been spoiled somewhat these past weeks

Lyle Lovett - Minneapolis 1992

review of Midnight Cafe's here Blog critics Bootleg Country - LL

and covers here geetarz - LL covers

either way if you are a Lovett fan you need both these awesome boots

UPDATE: and still more Lyle - astounding quality from draftervoi over at the Voodoo Wagon

26. Westwood One Presents #89-26 Outro - Jim Duncan

This was likely recorded in March of 1989.

"And this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas

With lots of cheese and onions

And a guacamole salad

And you can get'em down at the LaSalle Hotel

In old downtown

With iced tea and a waitress

And she will smile every time..."

and I always wondered . . . . . . from one of my favourite LL songs where the LaSalle Hotel was . . . . . This Old Porch
