Lyle Lovett and His Large Band remains the big man's most ambitious album in many ways. A smart split is effected, and not only between styles--the horn-driven swing of the first half backs the record's wittiest, slyest songs, while the country-folk numbers are among Lovett's most pensive. He's not so mournful that he can't raise an eyebrow at heartache, though: try "I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You." --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars LOVETT IN TOP FORM WITH GREAT TEXAS SWING BAND.......2006-12-05

Lovett shows the wide scope of his musical talent. Equally at home doing Country Music or Jazz, in the tradition of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.

4 out of 5 stars It's not the words........2006-11-06

This was Lyle Lovett's third album. There were three singles released from the album; "I Married Her Because She Looks Like You", "Stand By Your Man" and "Nobody Knows Me". None of them were hits, even though they are of high quality. The album overall is good. It is, of course, a country album, but some of the songs are closer to jazz than country. Lovett's fans will dig it.

5 out of 5 stars BUY THIS ALBUM!!!.......2006-10-10

This was the first Lovett album I purchased back in the early 90's...I love it....you NEVER tire of this album, and EVERY song is wonderfully done...my favorite is the earthy, soulful: "What do you do/the glory of love"...listen to the dialogue between the singers...so funny, yet so true. If you enjoy the "big band sound" with that horn section...buy this...you will NOT be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Totally refreshing and a true original..........2006-04-20

I worked in country radio for a few years down in northern Florida about the time Lyle's first album was released. We jumped on every single that was released from that debut album because he was just so distinctive and original sounding. A few years later I was at a station in New England and the "Large Band" album came out. So different from the first couple of albums yet still unmistakably Lyle Lovett. This man has the ability to evoke memories from all walks of life as well as make you smile, laugh, think, want to get up and dance and more. After hearing this album, I don't think there's a style of music the man cannot do well. Another reviewer spoke of Mr. Lovett as having no measurable talent or good looks. On the contrary...Mr. Lovett's talents are immeasurable. There's some amazing stuff going on here both musically and lyrically, and if someone's basing their opinion of his talent on just ONE album, that's just not the whole story on him at all. Artists as talented and diverse as Lyle Lovett are criminally few and far between, and he's proven that with each and every release.

5 out of 5 stars Lovett's Best.......2005-07-15

This, in my opinion, is Lyle Lovett's best album. It's the one I lend out when I introduce people to his music, and it's the one I'm the most anxious to get back so I can listen to it again. The album has a perfect mix of his styles. Don't like country? Listen to the first half. Not into blues? Listen to the second. The lyrics on this album are about as clever as they ever get, and the music is even more addictive. Also, this is the first album with Francine Reed as a featured soloist. Buy it and be careful who you let borrow it.
