Feb 18, 2011With alt-country lyrics that are more Tom Waits than Guy Clark, Hayes Carll continues to impress, giving us more to think about than just honky tonks and heartaches.
-
Feb 18, 2011Carll is every bit as expressive a singer as he is a writer, drawling his trenchant observations with deceptive ease.
-
Feb 23, 2011Carll is locked in a not-so-fierce battle with Ryan Bingham for the title of new king of alt-country. Here he splits the difference between Bingham's tender musings and a more raucous brand of humor.
-
UncutFeb 18, 2011While he's got enough pure country in him to for convincing Merle Haggard-style balladry, he's best on rabble-rousers like the rightly pissed populism of "Stomp And Holler" and the de facto title song, a doomed soldier's outrageous, funny surreal travelogue grafted onto a grungy mutation of Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues." [Mar 2011, p.85]

Feb 17, 2011Hayes Carll may be playing American schlub on the LP cover, but he's razor-sharp and ready.
-
Under The RadarMar 23, 2011What makes Carll worthy of such an esteemed class is his storytelling and witty commentary. [Feb. 2011, p. 72]
-
Feb 17, 2011He lets his imagination paint the details. That's the role of an artist. And while he may be singing lies, that's okay, because one can find the truth in the fiction.
