Having learned his craft playing the rough bars of Crystal Beach, Texan Hayes Carll has put together three albums of modern country music.

His latest, Trouble In Mind, which was released on the Lost Highway label, covers both his early live experiences, on I Got A Gig, as well as old time romance in Beaumont.

But probably the highlight is the heavily ironic She Left Me For Jesus, where a redneck suspects his girl is being taken away from him by a freak in sandals with "long purty hair" whose name she keeps screaming when they make love.

Support from Travis Linville and Laura Jane Kauffman.
