I went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments with Lyle. He doesn't know it, but this beautiful man with compassion in his soul has brought me through many a trying time. Thank you Lyle - Heck I even named my dog Lyle and he's a sexy little guy just like the man. Love you Lyle, thank you darlin.
One of the best versions of this song since Jerry Woodards origjnal. I like the slow, blusey tempo. I was present in the Studio when Jerry W. recorded this for the very firs time.

Lyle Lovett fits some music style of his own. He doesn't fit Folk or Country music. I went to a folk concert and he was there with cellos, violins and so forth. I figured either he was in the wrong place or I was. If his jokes and monolouge was funny, I never knew, Couldn't understand his mumbling. After suffering through a couple songs of undescribable origin and dubious clarity, I left. Whoever picked him for this show made a big mistake.
@Mongo1940 Mongo, mongo, mongo... I feel sorry for you. What ever personal crisis you were suffering from at the time to make such an outlandish comment, must have impaired your judgement to the point of being unable to make good choices. Maybe, Lyle and the band did intentionally upset you enough so you would leave early, so the rest of us could enjoy the show without having to be around such an unhappy person... May god help you remove your head from your ass.....
What a great song and arrangement too and Lyle sings the shit outta it too! Most dont know he was nearly killed saving a relative from one of his bulls,,, he's the real deal! Another great song he sings is "Summer Wind" which was in the movie "For Love of the Game."
Holy smoke. Is that the PIPS singing with him.
Lyle has always been sexy. Think about "Cowboy Man"... one of his first!!

He is the coolest. Nobody can touch Lyle and his back up singers on this song.
I Iove the way he trashes Julia Roberts in his concerts. Beautiful!
She is a piece of crap.

I think it's great that another parrothead likes Lyle as much as I. I don't think Jimmy would mind. I'll bet he likes Lyle, too.

@Mongo1940 Just wondering ... had you been at Newport Folk Festival in 1965, would you have booed Bob Dylan for using electric guitars and the like?

Geez, what a surprise version. If you can't get with it, then you have no musical appreciation.
Never thought I'd ever say "Just plain damn good, Lyle Lovitt" Er aw, Er aw
