Lovett circles the wagons here in Knoxville for the first time in 3 years with his whole band--um, his large band-- to dazzle us with his distinctive blend of Texas swing, country, honky tonk, folk splashed with a touch of gospel. His "solo" appearance in Knoxville last year featured several musician-friends including John Hiatt and Guy Clark. This time, though, the show will be just Lovett and his band of merry, music-making cowboys.

Still touring to promote his most recent release on Lost Highway Records, My Baby Don't Tolerate,

Lovett is sure to make the most of his band's talents by featuring some of the songs on his 1989 classic,Lyle Lovett and his Large Band. Although, with more than 12 record full of music to choose from, you never know quite what you'll get at one of Lovett's shows! If you need to flesh out your Lyle Lovett collection, I checked with the good folks at the Disc Exchange and they've got his latest record as well as these titles available for your listening pleasure: Joshua Judges Ruth, Live in Texas, Lyle Lovett & his Large Band and his self-titled album.

There are $54 and $44 and are still available online or by calling Tickets Unlimited at 865-656-4444.
