Lyle Lovett [ tickets ] & His Large Band are gearing up for two months of road work that will begin in early July. The tour marks Lovett’s first full-scale outing since wrapping up a similar July-through-September jaunt last year.

Lovett’s most recent release is last October’s soundtrack to the Robert Altman-directed film “Dr. T & the Women.” Primarily a 13-track instrumental score composed and produced by Lovett, it also features previously released versions of Lovett’s "You've Been So Good Up to Now" and "She's Already Made Up Her Mind”--from his 1992 album “Joshua Judges Ruth”--and a remake of “Ain’t It Something” from 1994's “I Love Everybody.”
