Artist:Lyle Lovett f/Randy Newman
Song:You've Got A Friend In Me
Album:Smile:Songs From The Movies
Lyle Lovett is a singer songwriter from Texas who started out as a country singer but has been able to cross over into pop, jazz and movies. He was discovered by fellow Texan Guy Clark and signed with Curb Records in 1986. He's still there. His 1987 Pontiac album crossed over into Adult Oriented Radio and Lovett moved to LA and abandoned the country market. He's also acted in several films especially for director Robert Altman. Smile is a collection of songs Lovett has performed in films. They don't appear on his other albums. They're mostly standards but of course You've Got A Friend In Me is from Toy Story and features songwriter Randy Newman. Maybe I can talk about him some other time. There's more to Lyle Lovett than his hair and his marriage to Julia Roberts.
