Hayes Carll's Major Label Debut

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Lost Highway Records) - After a debut indie release and an acclaimed self-released sophomore album, singer/songwriter Hayes Carll has found a home at Lost Highway. Trouble In Mind, Carll's Lost Highway debut will be released on April 8, featuring a collection of songs that blend some of the finest elements of folk, country and rock with brainy, quirky lyrics.

The 32-year-old Texan delivers songs born of baptism-by-fire experience, world weary observations and sharp wit. While his songs draw a direct line from some of his legendary Texas heroes such as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Carll has managed to put a stamp on his music that is truly his own.

As a performer, Carll's clever anecdotes, genuine sincerity and self-deprecating humor invites listeners in. His confidence and charisma are second only to the quality of his songwriting. Audiences relate to his songs because he sings to them as friends, immediately breaking down any barrier that might normally exist between the stage and audience.

Carll's personality permeates all of the songs on Trouble In Mind. He makes this quite clear in the infectious melody of 'It's A Shame', the ragged throw down 'Bad Liver and a Broken Heart', the satirical 'She Left Me For Jesus', and even in his rendition of Tom Waits' 'I Don't Wanna Grow Up'.

Carll has already begun making fans in the US and overseas through his first releases and his relentless touring. Take a step into the world of Hayes Carll through Trouble In Mind and find out what many already know and many others are about to discover.
