Title: "You Can't Resist It" by Lyle Lovett w/Lurker - Live at the Local Pub
Post by: Blooby on June 04, 2017, 06:49:29 PM
I recall Lyle Lovett sitting in with Leo Kottke (or the other way around) on Austin City Limits. They did a duo version of this song. I know it's repetitive, but it was always a tune that stuck in my head. The entire tune is A > D/F# > G > D/F#, but I find it a bit infectious for some reason.

First time we ever played or practiced it, and in somewhat typical fashion, we opened last night's gig with this (Sorry we missed each other, Hook). Guitar and BG vocals from the Digitech are a bit hot, but it is a pretty accurate snapshot.

Peace.

Blooby

You Can't Resist It

She was old enough
To know better
And she was strong enough
To be true
And she was hard enough
To know whether
He was smart enough
To know what to do

And you can't resist it
When it happens to you
No you can't resist it
When it happens to you

And you can tell your story
And you can swear it's true
But you can save your lying
For some other fool

And you can't resist it
When it happens to you
No you can't resist it
When it happens to you

She was old enough
To know better
And she was strong enough
To be true
And she was hard enough
To know whether
He was smart enough
To know what to do

And you can't resist it
When it happens to you
No you can't resist it
When it happens to you
And you can't resist it
When it happens to you
No you can't resist it
When it happens to you

A most underrated singer songwriter over here, you have captured the brilliance of both and made it your own at the same time. Oh I would so love to sit in to one of your sessions.    Willie

Absolutely professional sound.  You guys rock.

Amazing recording for a live setup.  Guitars are balanced and very well played

Lurkers vocal is expert as usual.

I once saw Lovett and Kottke in concert and Kottke opened..At that time, Lovett had his Large Band.

Keep posting Bloopy, I'm making an album.  Thanks.
