Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely and Guy Clark co-headline songwriters tour
Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt have wrapped up their respective summer tours and will join fellow singer-songwriters Joe Ely and Guy Clark for a joint run through October.
The co-headline outing is a reprise of dates that the quartet played earlier in the year. Lovett continues to support his debut effort for Lost Highway records, "My Baby Don't Tolerate," released in the fall of 2003. Likewise, Ely and Hiatt are touring behind their mid-2003 releases "Streets of Sin" and "Beneath This Gruff Exterior," respectively.
In May, Hiatt's 1987 album "Bring The Family" was re-released in DVD-Audio format, featuring a new surround-sound mix in 96khz/24-bit audio. The DVD layer of the release includes videos for two of the songs on the album, along with lyrics and original album art. The DVD-Audio format plays on all standard DVD players.
Lovett's "Joshua Judges Ruth" was released in DTS-surround sound in 2002, a format that is best-known for movie surround-sound effects, and requires compatible hardware.
Hiatt has spent part of 2004 on the road as a solo-acoustic act, without his usual band, The Goners. In a conversation with the Rocky Mountain News' Mark Brown in June, Hiatt said he's been using the intimate staging to work out and record songs for a planned January album release.
