Lyle LovettThirty years.
That’s how long Lyle Lovett has been kinda sorta flying under the radar of mainstream country stardom.
Releasing his first album in 1986, he was part of the newcomer blast that launched such artists as Steve Earle, Dwight Yoakam, Lucinda Williams, Foster and Lloyd, k.d. lang and Mary Chapin Carpenter into the somewhat-complacent country music industry.
