Lyle Lovett’s 12th of June —The Album Review

People tell me, “You know, Lyle Lovett is my favorite.” It’s something I can certainly understand. He’s been a source of fascination for me since seeing him on the television as a kid. As Esquire magazine put it Lyle Lovett is a man whose enduring veneration comes down to “the three C’s: class, charisma, and consistency.” Anyone who has seen him and his world-class band of musicians live in concert can attest to these truths.

Last year I was able to fulfill a longtime wish to interview him on my show. He came on to promote a livestream concert he was doing with Willis Alan Ramsey. It was quite a week for me, welcoming Willis Alan Ramsey and Lyle Lovett back-to-back.
