"The Road To Ensenada" (1996) - The most satisfying set of Lovett originals on record. From the flying Bob Wills swing of "That's Right (You're Not From Texas)" to the sambaish "Her First Mistake" to the Randy Newman accompanyment on "Long Tall Texan", it all works seamlessly. 2. "Step Inside This House" (1998) - 2 CD set of covers of Texas songwriters like Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, Michael Martin Murphy and Walter Hyatt. Guitarist Jerry Douglas particularly shines on many of the tunes. Frighteningly good songs and performances. You'll end up listening again and again. 3. "Lyle Lovett and His Large Band" (1990) - In which the dizzying blend of country, swing, pop and jazz is born, creating the Lovett sound with the help of miriad musicians. To get an idea of the "Large Band" concert feeling (I've seen him with a blues/country combo as well as the Large Band, and I prefer the latter), check out "Live In Texas" (1999), a nice retrospective of tunes to date by Lovett and an 18 piece band.

Great show. His storytelling between songs really is very captivating. I saw Lyle two years ago at the Overture Center for the first time as well. Great show.
