Notes / Reviews

Personnel: Lyle Lovett (vocals, acoustic guitar); Dean Parks (acoustic & electric guitars); Paul Franklin (steel guitar); Sam Bush (mandolin); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Matt Rollings (piano); Viktor Krauss (bass); Russ Kunkel (drums); Jon Randall, Shannon Sanders (background vocals).
Recorded at O'Henry Studios, Burbank, California.
MY BABY DON'T TOLERATE was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "My Baby Don't Tolerate" was nominated for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
For someone who made his name on his unique songwriting acumen, Lyle Lovett didn't exactly inundate his fans with new material in the 1990s. He offered only two albums of newly written material, not counting I LOVE EVERYBODY's selection of old, previously unrecorded compositions. After a seven-year wait, Lovett defied expectations with MY BABY DON'T TOLERATE.
His new songs proved not to be wry, ever-so-clever set pieces like some of his most popular '80s tunes, but more economical creatures full of small observations and very little of Lovett's trademark stylistic quirks. Aside from the occasional oddball touch, like name-checking German director Wim Wenders in a song about trucks, this is a pretty straightforward affair. The Western Swing-tinged arrangements are too tasteful (and tasty) for mainstream Nashville, but otherwise this is the most accessible Lyle Lovett album to date.

Entertainment Weekly (10/24/03, p.107) - "...Witty Everyman vignettes and irrestible melodies in diverse tempos and styles....It all adds up to a Texas-size sonic feast..." - Rating: A
