stusegalWe caught them last night at Princeton. 2 1/2 hours of thematic improv. Lovett did a song, then they talked a little and Hiatt did a song related to some theme he picked up from Lovett's song, and so on for a couple hours.
While I guess he's really known as more of a songwirter, the power of Hiatt's blues is amazing (and you gotta love anybody who can pull off the "how how how how" without sounding phony).
And Lyle Lovett - well what can I say? Every time I've seen him I've been struck by the uniqueness and clarity of his vocals, and the subtle insight of his songs.
These two guys seem to tour together sort of regularly (we saw them with Joe Ely & Guy Clark in '04 and '05). A really entertaining show if you're interested in songwriters and some insight into the songs and the creative process.
