Hayes Carll is a hellacious songwriter from Houston, Texas. There's a little bit of Dylan, a little John Prine, and a touch of Steve Earle in his new Trouble In Mind, which I would have to say is my favorite record at this moment in time. Check out "She Left Me For Jesus," on his MySpace page. He's playing free at noon at the World Cafe Live on Friday, as part of the Non-Comm convention. Here's an animated clip of his "Crystal Beach Memories," in which "Margaritaville" refers not to the Jimmy Buffet themed Atlantic City casino, but the song upon which it is based.
