Hayes Carll, "It's a Shame"
July 27, 2008
His song “She Left Me For Jesus” was one of those rare intentionally funny songs, but Hayes Carll is just as capable of turning in a sincere and reflective song of unrequited love. His vocal and delivery is like a wonderful hybrid of Lyle Lovett and Todd Snider. He harmonizes eff
ectively with the female backing vocalist, and there's a wistfulness to his delivery that heightens the underlying longing in the song's lyric.

this is the kind of song that would almost make you buy a car just to listen to it in the proper environment – great stuff.
was on his first record, highway 87, and was well worth re-cutting for trouble in mind.
