A year after Step Inside This House, Lyle Lovett continued to frustrate fans by releasing a live album. Don’t get me wrong… this is a fine live album. But three years after The Road to Ensenada, I for one was ready for some new Lyle.
While the performances on Live in Texas are not by the actual Large Band, they have the same sound and general makeup — horns, strings, gospel-style backing vocals, and Lovett as the confident ringleader.
I was lucky enough to see him in concert backed by this lineup and Live in Texas is a fair representation of the wonderful concert I saw.
