Lyle Lovett - The Ballad Of The Snow Leopard....

A 1998 live recording of the wonderful David Rodriguez song, full title "The Ballad Of The Snow Leopard And The Tanqueray Cowboy". A song Lyle Lovett recorded on his terrific 1998 Album "Step Inside This House". I apologize
for trimming the last two seconds off the clip. It was done to remove an annoying voice over.

This is a superb piece of writing from David Rodriquez. Lyle has brought so many underappreciated songs (and songwriters) to life with his vocals and instrumentation.

@mistascott007 I couldn`t agree more. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Thank you for posting these Lyle gems, Mouldytone

You`re welcome. Lyle`s always great I think, but this particular concert was particularly wonderful I think.

I first heard this song in 1982. It was recorded by a good friend of David Rodriguez'...Shake Russell. Shake did a great version too. David lived in and around Austin Tx, for many years and I got to know him when I lived there in the early 90s. He is a remarkable guy who helped me out when I was in a bad spot.....David is also an attorney. I sing this song when I play out.....I am awe inspired to hear Lyle do it. Wow....

Sometimes, a song and its singer are melded together into a combination that can't be beat. Though others sing this song well, no one in my opinion does it quite as well as Lyle.

Sublime. That's all I can say.

@TheCindella2 You said it. I've never listened to this song just once, always at least twice. I like seeing the look on the face of someone who's never heard it when I put the record on. They always lean toward the speakers while I tilt my head back and close my eyes and smile. And when I say "Mind if we hear that again cause its just so damned good?" they just smile and say "Sure". God bless David Rodriguez for writing it and Lyle for doing it.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thank you for this.
