There’s a level of comfort that adds up after doing a job, doing it well and doing it for a long time.
For Lyle Lovett, the math equation includes writing about 150 songs, recording 14 albums and playing thousands of concerts over the past 27 years.
And, yes, there is a certain amount of “Wow, that long, that many songs, that many shows?” when he stops to think about it, but that doesn’t happen all that often.
“I have a clear memory of all of it,” he says over the phone from a tour bus rolling between concerts in Pittsburgh, Pa., and Cary, N.C. “Every part of it is important, and I just am really grateful that, after all these years, I can still go out and play.”
