 Perfection Oct 18, 2009
This is the best Lyle has ever done. The gift of the dvd was precious. What a wonderful treat to see, in South Texas Girl, clips from his home movies - isn't that James Gilmer walking across the screen in one of the earlier clips of Lyle, when his hair was really big? I begin each day at work with Ain't No More Cane and S Texas Girl has become my favorite of all his songs. This album, even after 2? years, has not gotten boring or tiresome. I think it's his finest to date.
The minor problem I have with the album is the curious duplication of Up In Indiana - but he's done the same thing on Natural Forces with Pantry. Wonder why? Would have liked one more new song.
Fantastic Lyle. Nov 11, 2008
Unique music, unclassifiable, country but gospel and soulful as well. The musicians in his band are all so good that they could tour as headliners themselves.
 Eh. Aug 12, 2008
I think I need to listen to this a little more, but I found myself getting bored with, and skipping, tracks a little too often. Too many of them are repetitive, a al "Private Conversation", except they don't have that energy and aren't as catchy. They're also slow. Slow + repetitive = not all that interesting (unless maybe you want to meditate to it).
"Up in Indiana" at least has some energy. "South Texas Girl" is really good once you really hear it, and it's still a pretty good album, but musically it feels a little muzak-ish.

Addendum: Okay, it gets better the more you listen to it. Both variants of "I Will Rise Up" are pretty effective.
It's still 3 on a good day, though. I miss the less-produced, less-pop Lyle.
More good stuff from Lyle! Aug 01, 2008
Great CD, enjoyed the Big Band cut and all the tunes from Lyle. One of my favorites.

Mr. Lovett's done it again! May 14, 2008
I have been a fan of Mr. Lovetts for at least 10 years and am never disappointed in any of his CD's and this one is no exception. Some of the songs are repeated in this selection and at first I questioned this, however after listening to this CD a few times you realize that the arrangements are slightly different and in some cases the lyrics are sung to different melodies entirely, which gives the whole song a completely different feel to it. I would recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of country or even blues music.
