November 12, 2007 - Grammy-award winning singer and songwriter Lyle Lovett has defied categorization for nearly two decades, bridging the sounds of folk, jazz, gospel, blues and R&B.
In It's Not Big It's Large, Lovett's first album release in four years, 19 musicians play together — but without the big-band sound. The new album features wide-ranging instrumentation and a diverse collection of songs.
Born and raised on a ranch in Texas, country music has provided a foundation for Lovett's sound as a musician. He has won four Grammy Awards — including Best Country Album — and has branched out into film and television acting as well.
Lovett's previous albums include Live in Texas, Step Inside this House and The Road to Ensenada.
