Lyle Lovett
While typically associated with the country genre, the music of Lyle Lovett tends to be broader in scope. His albums typically incorporate folk, swing, blues, jazz and gospel music as well as more traditional country styling.
Lovett was born in Klein, Texas on November 1, 1957 and after graduating from Texas A&M University in German and Journalism, he released his first album in 1986. A selected discography of his musical work is below.
Away from music, Lovett has been acted in a number of films including three directed by Robert Altman - "The Player" (1992), "Short cuts" (1993) and "Pret-a-porter" (1994) - and "The Opposite of Sex" starring Christina Ricci. More recently, he has acted in "The New Guy" (2002).
Lovett's personal life was brought to the fore during the mid-1990s when he was married to Julia Roberts. The couple divorced in March 1995 after less than two years of marriage.
