Guide Review - My Baby Don't Tolerate - Lyle Lovett
There's just no other word for it. Lyle Lovett is COOL.The four-time Grammy winner is as much known for his craggy face and wild hair as he is for his smooth voice and delivery, and Lovett has managed to defy the world of niche marketing and genre placement by simply making music as he sees fit.
Lyle Lovett doesn't record very often; this is his first album of almost all-new material in several years, and Lovett fans will be delighted. Lost Highway has proven itself as a label that knows and loves actual country music, from alt-country sounds and sheer Americana to Lovett's bluesy deep Texas sound. Lyle Lovett is a lot like champagne -- you have to acquire a taste for him. But he's so worth the sampling! There's nothing to dislike about this disc. Get a taste of Lyle Lovett.
