Lyle Lovett and His Large Band at Majestic Theatre Dallas

An heir to eccentric Texas legends like Guy Clark, Walter Hyatt, and Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett is a trailblazer who laid the groundwork for the alternative country and Americana era with his self-titled 1986 debut and its 1987 successor, Pontiac. Jam packed with characters, ballads, and dry wit, the two records established Lyle Lovett as a singer/songwriter whose appeal extended far beyond the country genre. Already deep rooted in the dusty eclecticism of Texas country, a subgenre where folk fuses with Western swing, Lyle Lovett expanded his sound with Lyle Lovett & His Large Band. Landed in 1989, this was an album which featured a super talented supporting band that has a knack for swing and jump blues.

By the early 90s, Lyle Lovett was a household name and staple in the country and pop scenes. His stunning albums Joshua Judges Ruth and I Love Everybody crossed over to an adult-oriented pop audience. Meanwhile, 1996's The Road to Ensenada snagged the Grammy for Best Country Album. With Lyle Lovett taking an extended ten-year hiatus between Release Me in 2012 and 12th of June in 2022, he kept the fire alive in the Americana and Texas country industry, thanks to his critically revered performances with his Large Band.

“Amazing show once again! I've seen lyle a half dozen times both with his large band and his acoustic shows with john hiatt and have never been disappointed. Nobody can cover so many different genres of music, and cover them so well, as lyle and his band does,” says a happy concert goer at the Chicago Theatre.
