"If you love Lyle, you'll love this DVD! The big band is absolutely amazing! His voice compares to no other and his band compliments him perfectly. You must sit down and really watch and listen to every moment."
The Lyle Lovett Primer

"For those of you who always write Lyle off as country and western, check this video out. While he does C&W very well, his large band is a tour de force of swing and jazz. Lyle Lovett really can't be pigeon holed into one class or another, he's too diverse. This video bears that out. To his credit, he always recognizes the talent that he plays with, too. Just listen to Francine Reed on this DVD, and you'll become a fan of hers as well. I've seen Lyle with his large band, during his Texas songwriter tribute, with John Hiatt, Guy Clark and Joe Ely, and most recently with John Hiatt and himself sharing an acoustic evening. ALWAYS a memorable show, and this DVD spotlights just one of Lyle Lovett's many facets. Good straightforward camera work and very good sound make this "concert" one for my library."
