Maybe it was that thigh-splitting encounter with a belligerent bull, but whatever put him there, Lyle Lovett is in a nostalgic mood on My Baby Don't Tolerate, his first studio album of all new and original songs since the country-minded The Road to Ensenada in 1996. This is a mixed blessing--several songs sound like retreads from Lovett's earlier efforts, even as a listener welcomes the reprised syncopated, hep cat, Louis Jordan-meets-Sister Rosetta Tharpe signatures that help define his quirky style. While a key tune, "In My Own Mind," turns around a family man who seeks solace from a busy household, drawing restorative power from nature ("no rain, just the sunshine"), the album finds itself when Lovett begins revisiting dark places in his mind. Forget "Cute as a Bug," a by-now formulaic song of hottie lust, and get right to the bleak antagonist who narrates the confused loss of the elegantly jazzy "You Were Always There," the snaky blues of the title song, the pointy-toed send-up of bygone Music City hillbillies ("Nashville"), and the sly portrayal of the bribes of luckless blacks ("Election Day") in the old-time South. As the infectious, if repetitious gospel numbers prove, the man with "Eraserhead" hair isn't breaking any new ground. But he still fuses country, blues, jazz, folk, big band, and pop like no one else on the planet. --Alanna Nash

 Lyle May 5, 2008
mouse (Brandon, FL USA)
I don't think he's ever produced any bad albums. This one isn't my very favorite, but it's very good.
Great Mix March 28, 2008
onevoicecoints (USA)
Another gem of a mix from one of the best singer/songwriters of our time... teaming with the best of talented musicians. A must have!
Super CD December 18, 2007
M. Adams (Toledo, OH USA)
I became a Lyle Lovett fan when I saw him perform these tracks on PBS' "Austin City Limits." It was a great concert and I just love these particular songs! Super CD!!

and sounding better than ever. Fantastic CD, true Lyle Lovett to the very core. The lyrics are pure Lyle, the music is varied and always keeps you wanting more! Well done!!!!!!
The only thing better is Lyle LIVE July 3, 2007

Okay, there is no truly bad Lyle. I don't think he could do a bad CD if he tried. The only thing better is to hear Lyle in person in concert. My spouse, who didn't care that much for live acts, still plays "Live In Texas" because of that experience. So yeah, my baby loves Lyle, too.
