Title: Familiar stuff
Review: I'd actually give this one 3 1/2 stars if they'd let me. Lyle is one of my favorite artists, but to me it feels like he might be coasting a bit. The songs here are pleasant enough, with great foot-tapping music in the western swing tradition and Lyle's usual compliment of unusual characters. But, very few songs here sparkle with the humor, depth, and compassion I've come to expect from him.If you are a Lyle fan, why haven't you bought it already? If you thinking about making this your first Lyle purchase, I'd advise starting out with Step Inside This House or The Road to Ensenada.
