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

5 out of 5 stars The only thing better is Lyle LIVE.......2007-07-03

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.

4 out of 5 stars A tasty little treat........2007-05-12

I was prompted to buy this CD from seeing Lyle on "Austin City Limits". I have to admit...I love a good song writer!

I really love this cd. Lovett is such a great storyteller. This is great driving music.

5 out of 5 stars My first Lovett CD, and still a favorite.......2007-03-09

I owned none of Lyle Lovett's music until I heard him perform "In My Own Mind" on The Tonight Show several years ago. I bought this CD immediately afterwards and it is still among my favorites. The songs, every one of them, are so interesting, intriquing. There are fun songs, songs of contentment, songs of loss -- all work together so well in this collection.

3 out of 5 stars He phoned it in, but it's still better than most........2006-09-13

It's nowhere near as good as The Road to Encenada. But then, few things are. It's also not as good as Pontiac. But Lyle's average work is better than other people's best work.

So yeah, this isn't a classic, but it still blows the doors off of posers such as Chesney, Keith, McGraw, Brooks, and any other pseudo-country dork you can think of.
