Steven Lyle- Spirit & Image
by John Feuling
Henderson singer-songwriter, Steven Lyle, teamed up with Tom Capek, who plays keys for the Colorado jazz band Dotsero; the result was an album that was 20 years in the making. Capek played a Dave Grohl-like role in the studio with Lyle, manning drums and bass as well as keyboards. He’s also heavily credited with helping Lyle bring his vision to life. After setting his guitar aside for several decades, he went back to his musical roots to pour his heart and soul out into ten tracks, recorded at Colorado Sound Studios.
Dynamics on the record span from the uber-mellow opener, “Riverdale” to the rockabilly second track, “The Ski” which features a handful of guest musicians. “Sherri’s Song” is a smooth jazz tribute that Kenny G would dig. Listeners also get both an electric and acoustic take on “Lies,” a soul-searching story. Lyle wears his heart on his pick guard throughout this sincere album.
