Lyle Lovett goes 'Large' on new album
Lyle Lovett , who is currently on the road with K.D. Lang, is set to release his 13th album next month.
The four-time Grammy winner covers everything from country to blues, to folk, jazz and gospel on "It's Not Big It's Large," which is scheduled to hit shelves Aug. 28. The album, produced by Lovett and longtime collaborator Billy Williams, features the singer's Large Band on 12 new tracks.
A deluxe version of the CD will be released simultaneously and include a DVD with studio footage, according to a press release.
Lovett, who likes to take his time between albums, released his latest, "My Baby Don't Tolerate," in 2003. That set, his first collection of original material since 1996's "Road to Ensenada," reached No. 7 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart..
Lovett and his Large Band have been touring with Lang for the last couple of weeks and continue tonight (7/26) in Los Angeles. Next week, Lovett and band will break off for a headlining stint in California, Montana and Idaho. Then in October, the Texas native will return to his home state for a half-dozen shows, including the Big State Music Festival in College Station, which is home to Lovett's alma mater, Texas A&M University.
The singer also recently announced that he will join Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller in headlining "Cayamo: A Journey Through Song," a six-day Carribean cruise scheduled to launch from Miami next February. Lovett's tour itinerary is listed below.
