Lyle Lovett Plus Two Others and a Musical Interlude
Music CDs
Natural Forces by Lyle Lovett. Texan sings songs by Texan song writers.
Roadsinger by Yusuf. Cat Muslim sings songs about something. Review Link: The songs are low intensity, mostly hummable, and always rooted in the strumming or fingerpicking of an acoustic guitar even as strings, electric guitars, wispy percussion, and sometimes horns wind their way in without digging as deeply into the pop-conscious productions of An Other Cup.
Awake by Skillet. Rock singers sing songs about Christianity.
Musical Interlude
Texas is a common Lovett theme.
If only that line about free beer were true.
