Lyle Lovett lines up more acoustic shows with John Hiatt
Lyle Lovett has rolled out another series of joint acoustic dates with blues-rock veteran John Hiatt , as well as a few of his own headlining shows early next year.
The multiple-Grammy-winning Lovett kicks off his 2009 tour calendar Jan. 14 in Beaver Creek, CO, before heading back on the road with Hiatt beginning Feb. 5 in Pittsburgh, PA. The pair has confirmed an initial slate of 10 cities for their latest installment together, which follows a similar trek last month. Details are included below.
Lovett's 13th album, "It's Not Big It's Large," surfaced last August, reaching No. 18 on The Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Top Country Albums chart. The 12-track set features Lovett's signature Large Band and covers everything from country to blues, to folk, jazz and gospel. A deluxe version of the album including a DVD with studio footage is also available. A few song samples are streaming at the performer's MySpace page.
"Its Not Big It's Large" follows Lovett's Lost Highway Records debut, "My Baby Don't Tolerate," which surfaced in 2003. That set marked his first collection of original material since 1996's "Road to Ensenada."
Lovett is also returning to the big screen this year, starring alongside Harry Dean Stanton, Justin Timberlake and Jeff Bridges in the comedy/drama "The Open Road," which wrapped shooting recently and is currently in post-production.
Hiatt is touring behind his latest studio set, "Same Old Man," which surfaced in May.
