Texas has been blessed with more than it's share of great singer-songwriters. Although not exactly new, Hays Carll continues in this tradition of making magic with words and a guitar.

Man, that sounds lame...like i work for him or something. I don't. I'll just post some videos and shut up. BTW I think he's a good songwriter.

Yep, very good songwriter. I like "She Left Me For Jesus." Funny stuff.

I am not that familiar with his work but my big sister loves his songs and she has excellent taste.

Saw him a couple three times. He hung around and spoke with folks on every occasion. Very cool dude. Excellent sound and heartfelt lyric.

Love this song as well :)

He is amazing. We saw him in Santa Fe a few weeks ago.

He'll also be at the Americana Music Conference in Nashville. Let me put in a plug for this convention. It's absolutely some of the best music you will ever hear. Four nights spread out over five or six clubs. Truly amazing.

Gonna see him on Saturday. So excited!

I remember hearing "I Got a Gig" for the first time on the radio and laughing out loud...almost had to pull over.

The older I get the more importance I ascribe to the song. With a good song everything else comes easier. And I'm in awe of the people who conjure them up. Words and music son, just words and music.

I just got back from the Hayes show. Still drunk. Whooooo!
Seriously, he's awesome. And his guitarist, Scott Davis, is all *over* that $#!^.

I saw him several years back in Lexington Ky. He had a really funny song about making license plates with the slogan live free or die.
