A few weeks back when I featured Lyle Lovett’s music for two weeks, I mentioned in my write-up of The Road to Ensenada that I would feature its two best songs on the blog at a later date. Well, that later date has arrived for one of them.
‘Her First Mistake,’ the epic second song on Lovett’s best album, is the tale of a man who strikes out so winningly in trying to woo a lady that she eventually succumbs to his charms. It’s funny and sweet and it’s got a swinging, almost bossa nova, feel that sets it apart from the rest of Lovett’s work.
