Review of the Lyle Lovett CD Step Inside This House

One word describes the CD Step Inside This House from Lyle Lovett... AWESOME!

The CD kicks off with a great track, Bears, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

Step Inside This House has a nicely varied, mix of Bears tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Listen and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Lyle Lovett is clearly in top form.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 3 - disc 1 - Step Inside This House, track 5 - disc 2 - Babes In The Woods, and track 10 - disc 2 - Texas River Song

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Disc 1 - Bears. Good stuff!
