Live and in this recording Lyle talks about a great influence on his music, Eric Taylor, who was part of the early singer-songwriter folk scene along with folks like Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and others. Lyle performs Eric's song "Understand You," in concert and on his new disc, Release Me.
Here is a great video from Portland's KINK FM radio station's "Bing Lounge" of Lyle and his band doing this beaut of a song.
Eric is another personal favorite of mine and actually performs in Omaha every year or two as part of Jerome Brich's FolkHouse series. See folkhouseconcerts.com.
You can find out more about Eric's music at bluerubymusic.com
and check out a video of the recording sessions for Eric's latest CD Live at the Red Shack, with guests including Lyle Lovett and many more greats....

Also Sunday night the folks at Lincoln's Zoo Bar are getting together with those Tijuana Gigolos to celebrate Tony Meza's birthday. (SHOTS!) The Gigolos play 6-8 p.m. or so and have a new CD out, Shotgun.
The vibe really gets cookin' at the Zoo when the Gigolos are in the house, but here's a video from their recent CD release celebration at the Bourbon Theatre.

If you dig country and Americana this is going to be a cool show.
Also I am sending my old friend Larry Boehmer some birthday wishes, as he continues his battle with advancing cancer down in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Larry and say a prayer for him and his family. He taught us all about and gave us all so much great music. Last year we all went, 100 people and more, to celebrate his birthday. This year was a quieter event, but we all wished we'd been able to gather again. Here's the link to the article Catharine Huddle wrote after the trip last year.
