Lyle Lovett and his Large Band - "It's not big it's large"

Collyn loaned me this one. She's been buying most of her music from Starbucks as of late, which is where she picked this one up. I'm not typically a Lyle Lovett fan, although admittadly, I don't know much about his music, having just heard him here and there during tv appearances. The album runs the gamut from country to jazz. It's one of those albums that is just good music. It's an enjoyable album to just sit and listen to. The first track is Lester Young's "Twinkle Toes", a big band jazz piece. One of my favorite tracks "Up In Indiana" makes two appearances, the first as a more modern sounding country tune, and then as the last track on the album as an acoustic bluegrass styled piece. You can preview it at Starbuck's music site, Hear Music.
