Comments for Lovett, Lyle, Lyle Lovett

This was the first country album I ever bought, and I onlybought it because it was Lyle. Although this is mostly straight-forward country, "An Acceptable Level of Ecstasy" provides apreview of what`s to come for Lovett fans, dark humor andall. Songs like "God Will" and "Cowboy Man" round out a great album. He`s got lights in his fingers. As Guy Clark says on the inside cover, "The first time I met Lyle I thought he was a French blues player. You can`t tell he`s Texas `til you hear the songs. Then he`s so Texas he doesn`t have to say it. These songs are true and timeless. That`s `cause Lyle likes to make every one count."
