Loving Lovett

Recently got back from a Lyle Lovett concert- first time I've heard his music, and it was awesome.  He's kinda blue-grassy and folksy, two descriptors I normally avoid like the plague, but he totally pulled it off.  The theatre was a bit down at the heels, but the sound quality was good, the staff were friendly, the place wasn't packed, and the audience was totally unpretentious.  Lovett has great stage presence, and the collection of musicians demonstrated technical skills often lacking in younger, more popular bands.  Overall, it was a great end to a hard week, and a good start for the next.
