Sweet sounds from Lyle. He's got a way with his voice and his lyrics. Great.

I've been on that road.
Very nice drive once you get out of Tijuana.

I can understand how Mr. Lovett ain't everyone's cuppa tea, but it's hard to find fault with this song. Everything about it just falls into place. Great writing, his voice is spot-on, the production is understated but not too spare. An outstanding bit of craft.

  Not sure about the album vis-a-vis Ms. Roberts, but the album has a Twilight Zone-ish twist. Lyle Lovett came up in the music scene in Austin, he was old buddies with Walter Hyatt, Champ Hood, Stephen Bruton, Nanci Griffith, Toni Price, the whole gang.

The Valujet crash happened just a month after 'Road to Ensenada' was released: it was already completed when the accident happened.

On the song 'You're Not From Texas' Lyle mentions his friend and mentor: "Uncle Walt is home with Heidi / Lyin' in her lovin' arms"

Walter (Uncle Walt) Hyatt was killed in the crash.

think it's mainly a toll road... that's why it's fast.  But traveling this way only spells Baja surf trip to me.
