Lyle Lovett Road to Ensenada Rock Music CD Review

Very talented Rock artist Lyle Lovett has released him latest album titled Road To Ensenada and Wow! It’s really a good one.

Lyle Lovett has been a heavy hitter in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Road To Ensenada is an excellent illustration as to why.

Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Paul Franklin and Russ Kunkel plus a few other notables as well.

Road To Ensenada is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy if you’re even mildly into Rock music.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 – Her First Mistake, track 9 – I Can’t Love You Anymore, and track 12 – The Road To Ensenada

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Don’t Touch My Hat. Wow!
