Title: Another disappointment
Review: Lyle Lovett has always been one of my favorite "singer-songwriters," but I'm starting to wonder whether the label still fits. It's been seven long years since Lyle released an album of original material, and with the exception of 1998's brilliant Step Inside This House, his releases during that time have all been repackaged "filler." Lyle's loyal fans deserve better.This album is a collection of songs previously released on movie soundtracks, and while it's nice to have them all together in one place, most of the performances are forgettable. "Summer Wind" and "I'm a Soldier in the Army of the Lord" are probably the best of the bunch; the remainder are pleasant but uninspired. I'll wait for the comeback album, and sincerely hope Lyle's writer's block will end soon.
