It's Not Big It's Large

What a hilarious gentleman. Lyle Lovett’s new release It’s Not Big, It’s Large (of course referring to his Large Band) makes me smile just thinking about it.

Guests like Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck and Guy Clark are everywhere, when you’re Lyle, you can get anyone to play on your album.

Of course, not to take away from his band which includes Russ Kunkel, Gene Elders and Mitch Watkins.

These guys have all made huge names for themselves on their own, so seeing any of them is a treat not to be missed. Seeing all four on the same stage in the round is like Christmas, Birthdays and Halloween all rolled into one.
