Lyle Lovett thinks The Milk Carton Kids are a modern day Smothers Brothers, his first musical memory is seeing Nat King Cole on TV, his first album was 'The Monkees' and he found his first backing band in Luxembourg!

Lyle Lovett began performing by playing acoustic sets at bars just off of the Texas A&M University campus, while studying for bachelor degrees in German and Journalism. His career has been typically associated with country music and he’s won four Grammys, including awards for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Album. He’s also incorporated gospel, blues, jazz and swing into his body of work and acted in television and film; most notably in four movies for the late director, Robert Altman.
