From Amazon.co.uk
Built around 13 songs from his first three albums, this Anthology resoundingly affirms Lyle Lovett's gifts. When he emerged in the mid-1980s at the dawn of new traditionalism, he had more than a craggy visage to set him apart. His subtle wit, sly humour and Texas-sized musical eclecticism made him a force. One hears his musical metamorphosis from the beginning, through the stomping blues of "Why I Don't Know", the honky-tonk talking blues "Give Back My Heart" and the folkier "LA County" and "If I Had a Boat". Nine numbers, including "Cowboy Man," appeared on singles (most as A-sides). The biggest oddities here are two newly recorded tracks, "The Truck Song" and "San Antonio Girl". They are Lovett's first new recordings in five years, and they share a nearly identical melody. Moreover, they really don't fit this context, though they may prompt hardcore fans to buy 13 songs they probably already own. Let's hope Lovett's working on an entire album where these two numbers will make more sense. --Rich Kienzle

カスタマーレビュー

粋なカントリーで週末を
このアルバムに星は難しいけど、もっと知って欲しい人です。元ジュリア・ロバーツの旦那のイメージばかり先攻してて音楽は語られる事が少なく残念だがポーカーフェイスで地味ながら格好良いカントリーがここにあり、私のようなカントリーが苦手だった人の突破口になった人でトムウエイツにも共通しアーシーなヴォーカルもとて魅力的でブルースが似合う。アンソロジー１はカントリーサイドとなってるから２でのジャズ・ブルースサイドも期待しつつお奨め致したい。
