Video: Hayes Carll - Crystal Beach Memories

For those who believe Steve Earle lost his way after 2000's Transcendental Blues , you need to check out Hayes Carll's Trouble in Mind . His world-weary drawl and slyly dry sense of humor give just the right amount of punch to beat-up narratives like "Drunken Poet's Dream", "Bad Liver And A Broken Heart" and the how-could-he-compare lament of "She Left Me For Jesus". Trouble In Mind - Hayes Carll

It's amazing how much music/videos/live shows/b-sides/remixes etc., etc., you can miss out on. I just found this little animated Hayes Carll video with him talking about his past, dealing with Freebird requests, and what's it like playing your music in a honky-tonk. Also features songs from Hayes' new record Trouble In Mind out now on Lost Highway. Pretty cool. Freebird!!
