Hayes Carll - Live in Texas

Well I saw you on the TV
Man is that some kind of joke
You been makin a killin'
off shoes I'm fillin'
While I'm sittin' here gone broke

I said it in the last post, and I'll say it again....Hayes Carll is the best young singer songwriter in Texas. Hell, he may even be the best singer songwriter since Steve Earle......he's that good.

This is a 2 Disc live set that I culled from archive.org. The first disc and part of the second are from a Feb. 3rd, 2007 show at The Continental Club in Austin TX. This is his first ever headlining show there and he makes sure it's a good one. Highlights include, well all of it....it's a good show. Some of my favorites though are the new one "Drunken Poet's Dream", Naked Checker's", "Sit In With The Band", Tom Wait's "I Don't Wanna Grow Up", "Little Rock", "Highway 87" (is a dangerous place to be, when you pissed off all the locals and your backs agains the sea :P ), his version of "I've Been Everywhere" (houston, houston, houston, houston....), "Wish I Hadn't Stayed So Long" which segues into the rousing "Down the Road Tonight", "Rivertown", the prison license plate maker's lament "Live Free or Die", and he finishes the set out with Dylan's "When I Paint My Masterpiece".

The Rest of Disc 2 is culled from some other good shows in Texas. There is some good stuff here too, like the new one "Magnolia Wind", Eliza Gilkyson's "Midnight Runner", "Long Way Home", Bar Room Lament" and "Leave Here Standing" which turns into another rousing version of "Down The Road Tonight" to finish off the disc.

Don't miss this one folks, it is a great introduction to Hayes Carll.....who I can't say enough good things about.
