Review

Lone Star Lyle
Besuited and bequiffed Texan singer Lyle Lovett rambled into Brussels and wowed a packed crowd in the Ancienne Belgique.
The natives were restless as they waited for his familiar quiff to appear from the shadows of the AB stage. No wonder since this was, surprisingly, Lyle Lovett’s first ever Brussels concert. He was clearly delighted to be here, and the noisy sell-out crowd let him know the feeling was mutual. He did not come with his Large Band of previous tours but an acoustic group, consisting of his long-term collaborator John Hagen on cello and guitarist and talented mandolin player Keith Sewell (who first picked up an instrument at the grand old age of three), plus base player, and drummer. Anyone expecting a pure Texan country fest, would have been taken aback by the line-up but Lovett likes to mix it up. Read more on Expatica.com.

Finally! One of the greatest American country-icons and singer-songwriter monuments, here with us on a fine stage! We got to know Lyle Lovett here mostly since his 'Pontiac' CD in '87, with that tastily bitter 'She's no lady (she's my wife)'. But you hopefully also know him from his 'Cowboy man' or 'I married her just because she looks like you'. With his striking, stylish appearance he's even at home in the world of film, especially with Robert Altman: Short Cuts, The Player... Meanwhile, he's got about 13 CDs on the market and from them it's apparent how much this craftsman doesn't shy musical risks: thematically he's rather daring, but there are also the significant 'Songs For The Movies', or his ambitious project: Lyle Lovett And His Large Band (now also with the sub-title: It's Not Big It's Large!) Impressive Americana, a successful mix of singer-songwriter, country, blues and jazz-chanson. And, no, not with a 'large band' this time, not solo either, but rather with a fine accompanying band. Ain't It Something!?

En zo schoon dit weekend 22/23 augustus 09 in De Morgen: Marc Didden over 'Wanneer hebt u voor het laast gehuild?': 'Tijdens het concert van Lyle Lovett in de AB, eerder dit jaar. Hij is een fijnzinnige singer-songwriter, vroeger speelde hij mee in films van Robert Altman. Het concert was rustig en de zaal zat vol kenners. Lovett had zelf genoegen in de avond, dat was goed te merken. Tijdens het nummer 'Simple Song' voelde ik een krop in de keel'. Ah, zie, simpel sentiment en nog zo'n melancholieke Marc!?

Mr. Lovett gisteren tijdens een interview: Journalist: "can music save the world?" Mr. Lovett denkt even na en zegt dan: "Well, if it can't save the world, it can certainly make it go down in style." En een stijlvolle avond werd het absoluut. Pure klasse van een grote artiest!
