Musician enjoys debut success,^
returns home to ‘this old porch’jiin
By Tony Cornett
Staff Writer
You know that house on
Church Street in College Station
kind of behind the Dixie
Chicken? That run-down, de
serted house with the porch? The
one that’s across the street from
the Presbyterian church?
Come on, you’ve staggered
past it after tipsy evenings in the
Northgate drinking district.
That porch inspired Lyle
Lovett, a Class of ’80 journalism
graduate and Class of ’81 Ger
man graduate, and a friend, Rob
ert Keen, Class of ’78 English
graduate, to write what has been
called a country-music master
piece.
“This Old Porch” is one of the
i songs on Lovett’s debut album,
“Lyle Lovett,” that’s got new and
seasoned country music listeners
alike saying, “Hey man, this guy’s
great!”
While at Texas A&M, Lovett
tempered his academic pursuits
with many hours of singing and
guitar playing on the front porch
of Keen’s house.
College paid off with degrees
while the hours of playing music
are paying off with a Nashville
songwriting contract, an MCA re
cording deal, appearances on na
tional television shows and tour
ing around the country. Not bad
for a guy who was just out to ped
dle a few songs.
“I’ve been really lucky,” Lovett
said. “I originally went to Nash
ville two years ago to try and shop
my songs for other people to do. I
felt like that was the most realistic
thing to do going there. I ended
up getting a record deal, too.”
Even with the future looking so
bright for Lovett, he’s not the
least bit forgetful of his local be
ginnings.
“Texas A&M was a great place
for me to be able to go to school
and get an education and to pur
sue my music at the same time,”
he said. “There were great clubs
