Lyle Lovett is definitely one of our hometown musical heroes. The multi-Grammy winner still calls Klein his home and can be spotted around town sometimes with his fiancé (no, not Julia). We, of course, admire him for his music and songwriting. When he first arrived onto the music scene in 1986, country radio embraced him and he had some hits on the country charts. Then, Nashville realized that not only did he write his own songs, but also, he was from Texas – so they kicked him off country radio (yes, we're exaggerating, but it could happen).
"Here I Am" comes from his 1989 CD Lyle Lovett and His Large Band. That album leaned more towards blues and jazz than the majority of his catalogue, but garnered him a Grammy for country album of the year. The spoken-word verses are typical Lyle -- witty and clever.
It's been three years since his last album was released. We're patiently waiting.
