5th album - #26 US, #54 UK, #40 Can
Singles - Skinny Legs

Lyle comes across with a Randy Newman feel in lyrics and delivery on this for me. A lot more of a string section than the previous Pontiac that
I posted with hardly any country vibes which I guess is why it never touched the country chart, a first for Lyle's albums. Says the songs for
this were written before his debut album so they were digging up bones. We get guest spots from Rickie Lee Jones and Leo Kottke, and Lyle's wife
at the time, Julia Roberts even does some background vocals, doesn't say what tracks of course. This is the end of my Lyle exposure. Six albums
since this one with his highest charting being 2007's It's Not Big It's Large peaking at #18 overall and #2 country. Last one was in 2012,
Release Me which tapped out at #60.
