I've been on an alt-country kick lately, thanks mostly to my roommate and his amazing music collection. There's been a lot of Uncle Tupelo, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, and this guy, Hayes Carll.
"It's A Shame"
This song kills me. It's so beautiful and heartbroken and resigned. I have listened too it way too much. An unhealthy amount.
It's music that makes me think of summer, bittersweet feelings, and wide-open cornfields. It makes me think of driving at night, of being sun-sick from hiking all day. I've got all these feelings, see.
I get to see Hayes Carll in a couple of weeks, too. So excited. I am a sucker for flannel, broke-down songs, and anyone who sings about Arkansas (he does, a lot).
