Biography

Edit

Lyle Lovett's career bloomed late but by the time he signed a major recording contract he was nearly 30 years old and had years of experience playing cover songs and folk festivals. Lovett's quirky tunes, each of them a beguiling story in miniature, have helped define a new breed of singer-songwriter who exists outside traditional boundaries like folk and country.

His debut, Lyle Lovett, was released in 1986. It earned warm critical praise and reached No.14 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Subsequent releases have since merited four Grammy awards.

In addition to his music career he has forged a successful career as an actor and has several film and television credits to his name including roles in Dharma and Greg, Mad About You and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
