Editorial Review:Album Description:On his new album, Trouble In Mind, the 32 year-old Carll navigates his way through both stormy weather and calm, sun-drenched waters with ease, emerging with songs that melt even the hardest heart in town. Their impact is heightened by the fact that they're songs born of both immersion in the works of his songwriting heroes and plenty of real world experience.
Those elements certainly permeate Trouble In Mind, but there's a much sharper focus to the material, thanks in part, to more time in the studio and some great players sure to be familiar to roots-rock aficionados, including, Dan Baird, Darrell Scott, Will Kimbrough and former Flying Burrito Brother Al Perkins.
Carll's personality, emotional but never too sentimental, mischievous, funny, world-weary and sardonic, imbues every track of Trouble in Mind.

Hayes Carll Rocks
Hayes Carll. Not a bag song on his CDs. Some of his older ones are harder to get but I highly recommend tracking down Flowers and Liquor and Little Rock.

Country with a lot of heart
Attended the Stagecoach Festival in California and heard a lot of great old music and some very ordinary new music that was more heavy metal than country. Just when I was about to give up on the young artists, I stumbled upon Mr. Carll at a side stage and I immediately knew I was in the company of something special and unique. His music caught me and his personality drew me in. Best thing I heard in three days and I love the CD. If he ever tours the northeast, I'll be there. If you like Hayes Carll, check out Alive and Wired from another Texas band, Old 97's. Discovered them the previous year at Stagecoach.

Fun new artist
Listening to a cut from this CD on NPR's World Cafe, I fell in love with Hayes Carll. Purchased the CD and am crazy for almost every song. Great talent!

worth a "whole CD" purchase
Like most folks, I've taken to picking up a track or two from each release. After hearing a couple of Carll's tracks I bought the plastic. So great, I picked up the plastic on his previous album "Little Rock" just a week later. This is what country should be. Fans of Bobby Bare Jr will find a lot to like in Carll's songs.

Good new voice
Just picked this up after listening to its recommendation from the music guru on CBS Sunday Morning -- and it delivers!
