Lyle Lovett
Artist Review
I took my husband and 8 year old daughter to see Lyle at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis, MA last night-We have seen many great concerts including McCartney, Tina, Tull, & Cher and loved them all, but I have never before witnessed a performer so unselfishly share the stage with with his fellow musicians. It's all about the music with Lyle Lovett and I enjoyed every minute of his show. My daughter's favorite was "Church"! Thank you for a most enjoyable evening!

Album Review
This album is one of my all-time favorites and is the first Lyle Lovett CD I ever bought. After I heard this, I was hooked. I went to his concert, and saw him and his Large Band, and I was really really hooked. There are two outstanding songs on this CD, "She's Hot To Go", and "She No Lady". Both fantastic! I just bought Songs from the Movies, and once again, it's fantastic. I love this man!

Lyle's music has gotten me through some pretty rough times in my life. I've worn out his CD's. I love all his music, but I particularly love Road to Ensenada. His lyrics stop me in my tracks. I work in a hotdog stand. So, please, if its not too late, make it a CHEESEburger! That one I love too. To get me through chemotherapy, a friend took me to see Lyle in concert. I was bald, but I didn't care, I was gonna see Lyle!

Artist Review
I had heard of Lyle Lovett. My mom is a huge fan, so that in itself was a turn-off. But it wasn't until the Grammy nominations that I actually LISTENED to his music. This guy, his music and his delivery is awesome. Check out "God Will" or "If I Had a Boat" or even one of his latests "San Antonio Girl" where he falls for a girl that "ain't exactly white, and she's a little bit crazy . . " This dude exemplifies ART.

My Baby Don't Tolerate
The album is genius. "In My Own Mind" is the best cut, but they are all good.

I have been a Lyle Lovett fan ever since "Joshua Judges Ruth". I have since purchased every disc he's recorded. "My Baby Don't Tolerate" is one of the best! Great music Lyle! Thanks!

Artist Review
Lyle's first release of original new material in years was a hit with me. I was expecting the Large Band but only bass player Viktor Krauss joined Lyle on the CD. However, having said that, Lyle chose a venerable who's who of fantastic long time studio musicians like Russ Kunkel (drums) and Dean Parks (electric guitar). And especially nice is the reappearance of Kentucky mandolin player Sam Bush, who has been absent from Lovett's last couple of Large Band tours. All in all, the musicians are excellent and the tunes are tight. I do miss the distinctive vocal harmonies of the Large Band back up singers, particularly Francine Reed and Sweet Pea Atkinson. Also notable by his absence is cello player John Hagan, who adds such a distinctive quality to the Large Band. But still, this cd is a celebration of new Lyle Lovett music, and the cd does not disappoint. His first effort on the Lone Star Music label, Lovett begins the cd with a poppy "Cute as a Bug" which will have you tapping your feet and singing along a minute into it. Lyle also presents two new versions of his latest recordings, "Truck Song" and "San Antonio Girl" and they sound great - not neccessarily better or worse than the original, but different. The middle tracks of the cd are all solid from the title track "My Baby Don't Tolerate" to "Working Too Hard." Lovett closes the cd with two vocally powerful Christian tunes, "I'm Gonna Wait" and "I'm Going to the Place," both of which features a sweet choir in the background. Lyle wrote all the material with the exception of one song, "Election Day," so if you are a big fan of Lyle's sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always clever lyrical style, you will enjoy this cd. Lyle's styles have varied from country to jazz to the blues, and this cd is certainly of the country persuasion. All in all a solid, solid effort that I would recommend to the first time Lyle listener and definitely a must to any Lyle fan.
