Lovett plays the theater Thursday, Friday and Sunday as part of its 100th anniversary celebration.
Lyle Lovett performs at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas in 2019. Lovett returns to Dallas this week for a run of shows at the Majestic Theatre.Like a lot of musicians, Lyle Lovett spent the last two years live-streaming concerts, sheltering at home with his family , and eagerly waiting for live music to resume.
Lovett wrote eight new tunes for the album, and also included versions of songs by Nat King Cole Dave Frishberg and Horace Silver We talked by phone recently with Lovett, 64, as his kids chattered in the background at his home and ranch in Klein, Texas, a town near Houston named after his great-great-grandfather, Adam Klein.You’ve played the Majestic before, along with countless other venues around Dallas-Fort Worth. What are your memories of playing here in the 1980s?
One of my favorite songs on the new album is “Pants Is Overrated.” You wrote it a few years ago, but it’s the perfect COVID-era song for all of us working at home in our pajamas. For fun, I’ve always shown horses and raced off-road vintage motorcycles. And I haven’t given any of that up, officially. But I just haven’t wanted to do anything that takes me away from my children.
I haven’t. I wrote it in that tradition of murder ballads, right? But in 1988, my friend Pete Wernick from Hot Rize said to me after a show “You need to be careful singing that. You might give people the wrong idea or put ideas in people’s minds.”
