Album

Not a voicebox in sight as Comes Alive man makes low-key comeback

With a penchant for Julia Roberts, Savile Row suits and quarter horse studs, it's easy to see how Lyle Lovett won his reputation as a suave country stylist. You might not picture Lyle at the Battle of the Alamo but he's definitely officer material. My Baby Don't Tolerate is a great set of songs that may prove as resilient as his superb mid-'90s album Joshua Judges Ruth.
