A singer, composer and actor,
Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Among his many accolades, besides four Grammy® Awards, he was given the Americana
Music Association's inaugural Trailblazer Award, and was recently named the
Texas State Musician.
Lovett's most recent album Release Me was released in February, 2012. The album was #1 for several weeks on the Americana charts. Produced by
Nathaniel Kunkel and Lovett, Release Me represents the end of an era as it was his last record for Curb/Universal
Music Group, having been on the label for his entire career. Release Me is quintessential Lyle, mixing a smart collection of originals and songs written by some of his favorite songwriters that show not only the breadth of this
Texas legend's deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most infectious and fascinating musicians in popular music.
Lovett has appeared in 13 feature films, and on stage and television.
