Biography

In the 1980s Texan singer/songwriter Lyle Lovett was part of the progressive "New Traditionalist" country scene that breathed new life into Nashville. His is a unique mix of country, folk, gospel, and western swing, with lyrics heavily inspired by such venerated Texas songwriters as Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. His wry attitude and quirky image also earned Lovett a career in films, and he had roles in the Robert Altman films SHORT CUTS and THE PLAYER, among others.
