The Unlikely Lad is the debut album from English singer Tyler James. It was released on 29 August 2005 as a digital download and was ineligible to chart on the UK Albums Chart (as chart rules at the time did not encompass download sales). Following James' participation in the first series of The Voice UK in 2012, the album reached a peak of 34 on the UK Album Downloads Chart, and was released on CD for the first time.

The album spawned three singles: "Why Do I Do?", "Foolish" and "Your Woman".

• "Why Do I Do?" was released as the lead single on November 1, 2004. The single peaked at number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.
• "Foolish" was released as the second single on March 7, 2005. It peaked at number 16 on the same chart.
• "Your Woman" was released as the third single on August 22, 2005. It peaked at number 60.
