Synopsis

Amazon.com

Maverick director Robert Altman handpicked country star Lyle Lovett to score his latest film, and with the help of pianist Matt Rollings and bassist Victor Krauss, Lovett has accomplished the feat with his usual level of professionalism and personal touch. Lovett has always been one of Nashville's outsiders, soulful and smooth yet intelligent and menacing, just as likely to emote from a gospel shout or blues holler as from the expected Nashville twang. "You've Been So Good Up to Now" and "She's Already Made Up Her Mind" are reprised from Lovett's acclaimed Joshua Judges Ruth album, and the tracks are indicative of Lovett's subtle touch, as both unpeel their emotional turmoil slowly. The new instrumental numbers range from the haunting theme and the New Orleans goodtime of "Opening Credits," to the old-time honky-tonk of "Golf Cart Love" (which begs for a Lovett vocal) and somber piano ballad "Lady of the Lake." Mostly, though, it's lots of barrelhouse piano and fiddle-fussing around from a simpler time. The one new vocal number, "Ain't It Somethin'," is a dirge about how we silly humans can make the most mundane things seem so significant. --Rob O'Connor

CD Reviews

This one should earn a permanent spot in the CD Player

"For any of you that are Lyle Lovett fans for his style and the talent he brings to the stage with him, this CD is for you. If you're a fan of the Large Band, if you dig the Texas sound - this CD should earn a permanent spot in the CD player next to Live in Texas and Road to Ensanada among others. I haven't seen the movie, but from the names of the title tracks, I bet you could pretend you had. The first track, "Dr. T's Theme" gives you a taste of a sultry cello-laden beat soon to be accompanied by inspiring piano melody later intertwined with spectacular acoustic guitar. I just hope Lyle can play this one on his next tour. You'll get a fill of sexy lounge piano and cello in "Mall Women".If it's Texas Music you're looking for, the "Bree Shuffle," "Golf Cart Love," and "Bridal Shower" will transport you to the nearest honkey tonk in Dallas - ok maybe an up-scale-ish honkey tonk you might find Lyle playing at, but never the less, a honkey tonk in Dallas, or Austin perhaps. For the famous Lovett Lyrics, while this album is mostly instrumental, there are a few songs that will satisfy the craving. The songs with vocals are also on his album "Joshua Judges Ruth" (except for the last song, "Ain't It Something") so if that's all you're looking for, there are more vocals on "Joshua Judges Ruth". "You've Been So Good for So Long" covers the rock/electric guitar slides in there. And "She Already Made Up Her Mind" is more ballad-y like Road to Ensanada or something similar. And I can't finish writing about this album until I comment on Lyle's response to hollywood. "The Crash" is a score that doesn't match the "Texas" style theme music he's got going on in the rest of this album. You could put this one on for Halloween, it's fantastic...."

Grrrreat!

"I love this cd! The music is just the kind I like. Not like these action packed film soundtrack's with the with the blast through the wall rock music. This was nice. I liked almost all the songs on this cd. It will definetely be a favorite!"
