Saturday Morning Country: Lyle Lovett
The Church of Country is a broad brotherhood (and sisterhood) and it’s fair to say that Lyle Lovett, like many others, has sometimes left it to worship elsewhere. But, again, like others that sometimes stray, he’s always welcome back for the Church of Country is a forgiving house that espouses tolerance, an open mind and equally generous hearts. Anyway, Lovett is always interesting. And often charming too. Consider his Hymn to Having It All If I Had A Boat with its splendid refrain: If I had a boat, I’d go out on the ocean/ And if I had a pony, I’d ride him on my boat/And we could all together
