Known for his quirky lyrics and unique voice, four-time Grammy® Award-winner Lyle Lovett is one of the all-time great American singer/songwriters. Inspired by talented Texas songwriters like Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, and Townes Van Zandt, Lovett began writing in the early 80s. In 1986, he signed to MCA Nashville/Curb and soon reached the Top 10 with “Cowboy Man”. Lovett has recorded 13 albums to date, including his new album, IT’S NOT BIG IT’S LARGE.

The New York Times raves, “The modest ache in Lyle Lovett’s voice serves many purposes throughout his sleek new album…On a bluegrass stomper like ‘Up in Indiana’ it lends a note of wistful distraction…On a honeyed waltz like ‘South Texas Girl’ it freshens up some well-worn romanticism.”

Lovett’s other hits include: “If I Had A Boat,” “God Will,” and “If I Were the Man You Wanted,”; humorous tunes, “That’s Right (You’re Not From Texas)” and “Here I am”; and heartbreakers such as “Nobody Knows Me” and “The Road To Ensenada”.
