Information About

I Love Everybody




The songs collected on this album were mostly written by Lovett before recording his first album. We find evidence of this on the 8th track, "Record Lady," where Lyle refers to college friend and fellow musician, Robert Earl Keen .

...Robert Earl, he's a friend of mine

You know he's always looking out for my best interest...


Several songs prominently feature one or more of Lovett's trademark penchants: wry humor (''They Don't Like Me''), playful surrealism (''Penguins'') and disturbing frankness (''Creeps Like Me''). As a result, established fans of the singer's work may find the album more accessible than new listeners.
