A lot of fun with Lyle...,
By
This review is from: Road To Ensenada (Audio CD)
This is my 2nd favorite Lyle Lovett album, after Pontiac, because it shows his self-reflective humor in songs like, "Her First Mistake." It also has music that draws you in effortlessly, such as "Fiona" and "Private Conversation." This album made me truly happy he and Julia Roberts split up so he could get back to making good music. My only criticism is that "That's Right (you're not from Texas)" is over-produced and, when he performed it on "Austin City Limits" it was acoustic with crowd participation (and Willie Nelson participation) that made it sublime.

It is his best, bar none!,

If you don't own a Lyle cd, this is the one to buy. Lyle's music has many influences. His earlier cd's have fused pop, jazz and country in a delightful blend of acoustic treats. His Large Band is tight, as tight as they come. The Road to Ensenda is toe tapping good from beginning to end. This particular recording is less jazz influenced than say, Pontiac but the jazz influences are not ignored. This is simply a great cd.

So much more than a songwriter,

This review is from: Road To Ensenada (Audio CD)
It's one of those things that has become immutable over time. This album captures so many moods - while Lyle and the band certainly know how to have a good time, the pauses for reflection are what tips the scales for me. It is certainly among my Top 10 favorite albums of all time as it has a melancholy quality that transcends just about anything I've ever heard. The uptempo numbers sure do swing and I can't help but smile when I hear them, but everything leads up to the last two tracks - The Road to Ensenada and the gorgeous "Girl in the Corner". With the exception of Bruce Cockburn, no other songwriter captures the longing one can experience in the smallest encounters. This is soul music and music for the soul and I would be less for its absence. Thank you Lyle.
