Hayes Carll hasn’t been resting on his laurels since topping critics’ polls and winning awards for his 2008 album, ‘Trouble in Mind’. Instead, he’s been on the road nearly nonstop with his band, blasting through honky tonks and rock clubs across the U.S. and beyond. Along the way he’s been inspired to write a crop of new tunes that the acclaimed songwriter says are “a layman’s take on our country – a snapshot of America in some small way.” The result is the sharply drawn collection ‘KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories)’, comprising fiery rock, twangy country, pensive folk and even a touch of gospel. A military acronym standing for “Kiss My Ass Guys, You’re on Your Own”, the title track is one of a dozen songs that brings to life such rich characters as its protagonist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=susjcXPF2e4 Ticket: $28.00 ($3.00 bf) $32 at the door if still available
