Music reviews of The Road to Ensenada
Music Review: Great songs - mellow rock / rock / lite country
Rating: 5 Stars
Lovett is part philosopher, part poet and part comedian, and he performs each role on The Road to Ensenada. There is a hint (if not more) of Texas in most of what Lyle Lovett does, and this album is no exception. But unlike the folk motif of 1994's I Love Everybody, this CD offers a wider array of genres - relaxed mellow rock ("Her First Mistake") next to swing tunes ("That's Right (You're Not From Texas)"), spacious acoustic ballads like "Who Loves You Better" next to straight-ahead rock songs like "Private Conversation." Lyle Lovett does not need promotion - but too many have pigeon-holed Lovett has a country singer - he is so much more, with a significant portion of his song catalog closer to Jazz/Jazz Vocal than to Country. He is perhaps the best songwriter of his generation. GENRES: Rock, Mellow Rock, Country.

Description of The Road to Ensenada
After the more experimental themes and misanthropic bit players populating his prior album, I Love Everybody, the songs on this superb 1996 set return to the more affable, earnest, but still knotty balance established by Lyle Lovett on his first four albums. He spins amiable yarns about his preferred headgear ("Don't Touch My Hat") and larger-than-life love objects (the one-eyed "Fiona"), sways hilariously through the backfired seductions of the samba-paced "Her First Mistake," and swings buoyantly through "That's Right (You're Not from Texas)," then ropes the equally droll Randy Newman into a tongue-in-cheek duet on "Long Tall Texan." In between, he sneaks a fresh string of dark love songs ("Private Conversation," "I Can't Love You Anymore") that sustain his formidable standards. Forget the forced issue of his putative ties to "new country": Lovett is simply one of the best American singer-songwriters extant, whether playing raconteur, philosopher king, or wounded romantic. --Sam SutherlandGeneral CDs
