Lyle Lovett contributed to two tribute albums last year, both are artists that he credits as influences and inspirations.

He recorded the Buddy Holly song “Well All Right” for the album “Listen to Me: Buddy Holly” to celebrate what would have been the influential rock ‘n’ roll pioneer’s 75th birthday.

“Peter Asher produced the Buddy Holly album and actually sang on the track with me, so that was really quite fun. Peter’s one of the original British Invaders from the days of the Beatles with Peter and Gordon and he’s produced so many albums,” he said.

“Buddy Holly, he helped shape popular music and you can’t overstate his impact on popular music. He was part of the history of rock ‘n’ roll.”
He also recorded “Anyhow I Love You” for the Guy Clark tribute album, “This One’s for Him.”

“I know Guy personally and have gotten to watch him work up close. His writing is just stellar. Anybody that ever sits down to write a song aspires to the level of Guy Clark’s writing. He’s just a wonderful example of poetry and musicianship.”

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.
