Hayes Carll is at the fore of a generation of American singer/songwriters. A Texas native, his style of roots-oriented songwriting has been noted for its plain-spoken poetry and sarcastic humor. He is nominated for a 2016 Grammy award for Best Country Song, and American Songwriter awarded him with Song of the Year for "Another like You" in 2011, the same year he was nominated for Artist of the Year at the Americana Awards. Now, 5 years later, Hayes is returning with a powerful and raw set of songs produced by Joe Henry entitled Lovers and Leavers.
