I though Lyle Lovett was dead, use to like him I think, but it was ages ago since I heard his name

I went to one of his concerts about a year ago. He's still great and I have been going to his concerts for over years.

I though Lyle Lovett was dead

If I really want to date myself, I not only own his first album on LP (released in March 1988), but know him originally from the cover of Nanci Griffith's 1986 Last of the True Believers album on Philo Records.

Lyle's one of the bystanders on the street in front of the Woolworth's store (and a close friend of Nanci).

He used to play at the Kerrville Folk Festival starting around 1986. He and musician Robert Earl Keen, Jr. shared a house when they attended Texas A&M. They co-wrote This Old Porch, a song that's quintessentially Texan.

I'm trying to remember the names of some of the other Austin-area musicians standing on the sidewalk on the Believers album cover. Seems there was a group called Hudson & Frankie who used to hang around with Nanci during her days playing at the Cactus Cafe, and then opened for her when she was still playing small places but merited opening acts.

Thats a surprise, I haven’t heard anything about him in years. Nice to hear he still is walking the face of the earth...:O)
