详细介绍:
You%27ve got to hand it to Lyle Lovett. More than anything else, the dude is smooth. A voracious inheritor and innovator, no one else has ever attempted, let alone mastered, Lovett%27s smart, stylish blend of influences that vary from the fervor of gospel, the insight of Texas troubadours, the energy of big band jazz and an overall dedication to what fellow Texan Doug Sahm revered as, the groove. Bebop jazz pianist Horace Silver%27s Cookin%27 at the Continental is a powerhouse opener with its big horn charts and classy swing band flair. That%27s followed by the playful Lovett original Pants is Overrated, where he works his way into a soul/gospel rhythm aided by a chanted chorus—a frequent Lovett device. What in most hands would sound schizophrenic and a constant overreach, here sounds organic. Predictably, this being Lyle%27s world, Pants is Overrated is also the album%27s first single. Produced by Lovett and Chuck Ainlay (who also produced his 1989 album, And His Large Band), 12th of June was beautifully recorded in Nashville, Austin, and Los Angeles with a 13-member version of his storied Large Band that includes such stellar instrumental talents as Russ Kunkel (drums), Viktor Krauss (bass), Sam Bush (mandolin) and Paul Franklin (steel guitar). Lovett%27s talked, idiosyncratic vocals are often supported in the jazz numbers like Gee, Baby, Ain%27t I Good to You, by deep-voiced singer Francine Reed. He indulges his ear for slinky R&B in David Frishberg%27s Peel Me A Grape, where he and Reed trade verses before trumpeter Steve Herman and tenor saxman Mace Hibbard add compact solos. The album%27s second half leaves the jazz behind for a slug of Lovett the acoustic singer/songwriter. Her Loving Man, where he worships a woman who is the queen of knowing, is the latest in a long line of Lovett love songs that began with She%27s No Lady on Pontiac (1987). The title track is the latest in his elegiac tunes about his family while Pig Meat Man returns to the familiar subject of food: I like bacon and ham/ With toast and jam. It%27s been a decade since Lovett%27s last record, 2012%27s Release Me, and for a time it seemed like that might be his final recorded statement. 12th of June was worth the wait. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
