Title: Wonderful collection,only missing female artists.
Review: In this newest offering from Lyle Lovett, he gives us his tribute to his favorite Texas songwriters. It was nice to see songs from Townes Van Zant and Robert Earl Keen, though the strongest songs on the album are the two traditional ones. While I think this is a wonderful album and a nice departure for Lovett, I was disappointed not to see any female artists. What about Nanci Griffith? It is a little disappointing that out of a two-disc set, there is not one female songwriter that had any influence at all on Lyle Lovett. This album lacks the hooks that earned Pontiac, I Love Everybody, and Road to Ensenada the coveted 5 star rating, but it is still an important piece of Lovett's work and definitely worth while.
