I really dig Lyle Lovetts non-country stuff for listening. He puts on a good concert, too.

For dancing, I've played "She's Makes Me Feel So good" (124 BPM) for Lindy and I've played some other songs for blues dancing occasionally, such as "Wild Women Don't Get the Blues" with Francine Reed at 67 BPM or "Cryin Shame" (95 BPM). Oh, and I tried "What'd I say" (174 BPM) once and it caused a bunch of women to do an interesting solo dance. And his "Straighten Up and Fly Right" (152 BPM) and "Gee Baby Ain't I Good To You" (78 BPM) are all right too.

I haven't tried "Church" yet, though because it has all those breaks, but thanks for the tip, maybe I'll try it tomorrow.

Lucy played "Radio Lady" when we Dj'ed together in Vancouver - I liked it for dancing.

Are you sure about the name/artist? It doesn't seem to be listed on any of Lyle's albums according to allmusic.

She probably meant "Record Lady".

Lyle Lovett is awesome in concert. i was never into his music until I saw him live. What an amazing lyricist and musician. With that being said, I don't think I would ever play lyle lovett for lindy hop music, unless of course I was at a westie event :lol:

Yes, thanks Ron - it was Record Lady.

Has anyone seen Lyle Lovett and his large band? They were in Seattle this week I think - I heard one track on the radio -- bluesy number with a fairly std big band arrangement.

Lou Rawls has covered that, BTW.

I play several Lyle Lovett songs for dancing. A couple from Francine Reed, too. "Record Lady" and the live version of "She's No Lady" are a couple of my favorites. "Church" is fun, but I've elicted reactions ranging from delight to completely clearing the floor--definitely one you have to know your audience for...
