SICbass Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 How's about a little love for Lyle Lovett and his upright player Viktor Krauss. A great sound, he just does "the job" all night and then, given the chance, rips off some killer short fills/solos. see/hear 4-bar (cut-time) fill at around 3:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLU_IYflUkQ and just oh so funky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGHmamjoieg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm a huge fan of Lyle Lovett, have been since his first album. Seen him live a few times & he's always excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Lyle Lovett and his Large Band features the ubiquitous Lee Sklar on Bass, he's a favourite of mine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bornagainbass65 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I like a bit of Lyle Lovett too. I find 'If I had a boat' very moving, though I'm not sure why, and there's that fantastic song with that includes the lyric 'the whole thing was paid for by the funeral director, who poisoned the saxophone section...'

[/quote] 'If I had a boat' gets me emotional too. The intro to 'North Dakota' is just sublime. He can span the range between deeply touching and pant-wettingly funny. Come to think of it, maybe that isn't such a wide stretch... Edited April 27, 2016 by SICbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
