Product description

Lovett,Lyle ~ Step Inside This House

Amazon.com

The most mercurial of Texas singer/songwriters, Lyle Lovett has assembled a two-disc homage to mentors and fellow travelers--a homecoming of mixed emotions and uneven meditations on Texas land and soul. The first disc is the most spacious--including songs by Vince Bell, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, and Michael Martin Murphy--while the second concentrates on Walter Hyatt and Townes Van Zandt (who died in 1996 and 1997 respectively). The meticulous and mostly acoustic layering of dobro, steel guitar, and piano sonically celebrates Lovett's Lone Star roots; his band even jaunts into western swing on Walter Hyatt's "Teach Me About Love." And Lovett's voice sounds warmly weathered with the respect and affection he has for the material. But the material is perplexing. Eric Taylor's "Memphis Midnight/Memphis Morning" never drives home its lonely impressions; selections from David Rodriguez and Willis Allen Ramsey never draw from the depth of those writers' imaginations (at least "Sleepwalking" is a rarity in Ramsey's small but legendary catalogue); and Steve Fromholz's "Texas Trilogy" never transcends aimless local color. But the two traditional pieces, "More Pretty Girls Than One" and "Texas River Song," number among the album's finest surprises. A similar grace and clarity animates both the title track--one of Guy Clark's most lambent but unrecorded compositions--and two of Van Zandt's greatest mysteries: "Highway Kind" and "Flying Shoes." --Roy Francis Kasten

I had heard Lyle Lovett sing a few times while watching one of them late night talk shows and knew he had once been married to some famous actress but when my old lady said that she had "scored" I started to grab my hookah. Much to my surprise she had scored some tickets to an upcoming Lyle Lovett and his Large Band concert. So I found myself in a predicament. I had to find out what this cat, Lyle, was so good at that my beautiful (but twice locked up) girlfriend found interesting. So I thought "Well now. Just go on YouTube and watch some videos" but than I looked here on the Amazon and their lo and behold was a deal. 21 songs for 5.99! Hot dog! So I hit the buy it now button and downloaded the 21 songs. I gave it a listen and weeedoggie did I have a surprise. His voice is smooth. His style is laid back. His lyrics are modern day poetry. His hair is...well much to my chagrin better than mine. So Mr. Lovett I tip back my Bud Light and say "You're pretty good at this here music thing". So if you are a Lyle fan or just new to his music than buy this little gem. It's best music I've heard since Willie's last album.

The irony is that I bought this, and later saw Lovett in concert, when I was in Iowa, which is genuinely pathetic since I live two blocks from Klein, Texas.

I bought this when I was in college and, if it had been an LP, I would have played it smooth in about a semester. I admit I chose it for "More Pretty Girls than One" and "the Texas River Song", which are the only two PD songs on it, and secondarily for the Townes Van Zandt material. The other songs on it are excellent, as well (I just wasn't familiar with them when I bought it).

And, for the record, whatever you think of his music stylistically, just because he doesn't pander to the Nashville sound or the lower denominators of the genre doesn't mean he's pseudo-country. This sounds like rural Southeast Texas looks. It makes perfect sense in context.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tasty homage to a legendary group of songwriters.
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2000

I lived in Austin in the early 80's, when the sun had mostly set on the era of "redneck rock." I remember watching Steve Fromholz and Townes Van Zandt perform solo in small clubs, as I wondered "why aren't these guys famous?" Well, Lyle Lovett apparently felt much the same way. On this album, he pays homage to a legendary group of Texas songwriters in his unique and pleasing style, honoring the writers and their work while putting his own unique stamp on the songs. Thanks, I suspect, to the renewed exposure given Willis Alan Ramsey on this recording, as well as the earlier "The Road to Ensenada," Mr. Ramsey's self-titled debut album has been re-issued on CD after over two decades out of print. Hopefully in turn we'll see re-releases of some works of other songwriters covered in "Step Inside This House," such as Steve Fromholz.

5.0 out of 5 stars An anthology of awesome song writing - Wonderfully Sung!
Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 1999
Verified Purchase
This is my first Lyle Lovett album, but I was familiar with many of the songwriters he covers on this album. I always enjoy hearing great singer/songwriters (like Lovett) pay tribute to the folks they admire. It opens up new (to me) artists, and gives me a deeper understanding of the singer themselves.
"Step Inside This House" is one of the greatest incarnations of a cover/tribute album I've heard. Lovett is, of course, a great singer. The songs here are so masterfully written, however, that even if you didn't like Lyle before you will admire him now.
Lovett finds the heart inside each song, and makes it his own. If you like good music, regardless of genre, YOU MUST BUY THIS CD!

The lyrics of this CD alone are worth buying. I have every Lyle Lovett CD, and this one is still my favorite.
My criteria for a good CD is whether or not I can listen to it from start to finish, without having to skip tracks. I listen to this one over & over. Incredible lyrics, and it just makes me feel relaxed, as if I were on a porch in South Carolina watching the waves on the ocean.
"Step Inside This House" is by far my favorite. It exemplifies the simple life that many people strive for.

Questo doppio CD è una raccolta di brani non suoi, un omaggio agli amici che lo hanno ispirato, da Fromholz a Van Zandt, Hyatt, Ramsey, Rodriguez, che Lovett interpreta splendidamente, in maniera del tutto personale, creando un capolavoro di generi (dal country-folk-rock allo swing al blues) e di intense coinvolgenti melodie. Un ringraziamento all'amico Maurizio che me lo ha fatto conoscere.

5.0 out of 5 stars 現代最高の男性シンガーの一人
Reviewed in Japan on March 4, 2008
Verified Purchase
　基本はカントリー、という事で良いのだと思うけれど、ジャズやブルース、シンガー・ソングライターとしての要素も強く感じられる。某雑誌の９９年３月号に掲載された、このアルバムのレビューを見て以来、何となく興味を持っていたのが、最近になってやっと購入。期待を裏切らない秀逸な作品でありました。

　本作はラヴェットが他人の曲ばかりを取り上げた、言ってみれば「ニルソン・シングス・ニューマン」的なアルバム。ジャケットもなかなか雰囲気があるけれど、シンプルなバックに、淡々と歌うラヴェットの声が、何より沁みる。表題曲やＤＩＳＣ１の５，８。ＤＩＳＣ２の１，２，３，１０あたりが特に良いですね。ちなみにＤＩＳＣ２の１，２，３は、「テキサス・トリロジー」と題された組曲になっております。一枚当たりの収録時間も丁度良く、手を伸ばしやすいアルバム。

　こういう性質のアルバム（２枚組だし）を最初の一枚に薦めるのも、どうかと思うけれど、優れたボーカル・アルバムとして是非。
