Anthology Volume One: Cowboy Man

Sometime actor and singer songwriter Lyle Lovett is often hailed in the media as the man with a face only a mother could love. Still he managed to marry, if only briefly, one of the world's most desirable women, Julia Roberts. Her story is, she fell in love with the man through his music!

It has been 17 years since Lyle Lovett arrived in Nashville with a demo tape hinting of the brilliantly eccentric career to come - a resume that now includes nine albums, acclaim from the pickiest of critics, a fiercely loyal fanbase, sales in the millions in the US, and even a second calling as a successful Hollywood actor.

Lyle Lovett is one of the few artists who emerged out of Nashville's whirlwind of experimentation in the mid-1980s to have an enduring, significant and boldly original career.

Anthology Volume One Cowboy Man represents the beginning of Lovett's body of work.

Of the 15 tracks, 13 are from his first three albums, plus two new songs "The Truck Song" which includes the self deprecating lyric " I went to high school. I was not popular. Now I'm Older and it don't matter" and a western swing inspired, "San Antonio Girl".

Take the time to listen to Lyle Lovett, you will not be disappointed.
