Besuited and bequiffed Texan singer Lyle Lovett rambled into Brussels and wowed a packed crowd in the Ancienne Belgique.Lyle Lovett
AB Main Hall
22 March 2009
The natives were restless as they waited for his familiar quiff to appear from the shadows of the AB stage. No wonder since this was, surprisingly, Lyle Lovett’s first ever Brussels concert. He was clearly delighted to be here, and the noisy sell-out crowd let him know the feeling was mutual. He did not come with his Large Band of previous tours but an acoustic group, consisting of his long-term collaborator John Hagen on cello and guitarist and talented mandolin player Keith Sewell (who first picked up an instrument at the grand old age of three), plus base player, and drummer. Anyone expecting a pure Texan country fest, would have been taken aback by the line-up but Lovett likes to mix it up.
And in that mix were southern Texan bar music, a bit of blues, a fine gospel song and lashings of jazz. He even had time for a very funny cheeky number, Keep It In The Pantry, about the dangers of leaving our loved ones far behind when we travel (as any troubadour must).
