LIVE IN CONCERT

 FEATURING RANDY NEWMAN & MARK ISHAM

SOUND STAGE

  What the press have said:

‘Lyle Lovett has always been eclectic to say the least, so it is no surprise that this DVD refuses to sit neatly into any one genre.’, ‘Excellent camera work, superb sound quality and all kinds of Lyle.’ Bob Howe – Country Music Capital News

‘silky smooth vocals and rockabilly-meets-pop hits,’, ‘on full display here in this tightly shot show, as Isaak delivers note perfect renditions of hits like ….all punctuated with great gags and genuinely funny between-song banter.’ Erin Free - Filmink

‘This episode in the Soundstgae series is another must-have if you’re a fan of the Californian guitar-twanging crooner. Onstage, Chris Isaak successfully integrates modern touches into timeless songs with his suave singing, devilish lyrics and excellent stage presence.’, ‘showcasing Isaak’s Roy Orbison-meets-Elvis voice marvelously.’ **** Ben Preece – Time Off


The genre-hopping work of Lyle Lovett has seen him blossom from a country-based singer/songwriter, to an assured artist unafraid to take on numerous different styles. His country roots are partly explained by this Texas upbringing, but he soon branched out and enjoyed huge crossover success with his subtle blending of ideas from folk, jazz and rock backgrounds.

This spectacular live show sees him performing with the backing of a 26 piece orchestra, and a 16 piece band. The material mainly focuses on his album from 2003, "Smile," which was a collection of cover versions of music from American films. Legendary singer/songwriter Randy Newman joins Lovett to duet on several songs, and he also sticks around to perform a couple of solo turns in Lyle's absence. Trumpeter Mark Ishman is the other notable guest, ably helping to bring the show to a beautiful close as Lovett shows off his eclectic tastes by working his way through a number of gospel classics.
