Hayes Carll's sense of humor in his lyrics came through in spades during this awesome show. Backed up by The Warren Hood Band, the show was pure fun. Carll has a great stand-up comic patter between songs which gave us background on how/why he wrote them.

A real find, though, was Emily Gimble, who plays keyboard for the back-up band. Her pipes and keyboard work are outstanding. It's understandable since her grandfather is Johnny Gimble, Texas fiddle player extraordinaire, while her father, DIck GImble, is also a well-know Texas musician. But it was her singing that really stood out. Truly on the order ot a Janis Joplin-a real belter. Turns out she was just voted Keyboardist of the Year in Austin.

Fun show with a tight back-up/opening act band. See it.

Hayes Carll is a somewhat unknown gem. He did many of his many great songs (He would have had to done a 3 hour set to do them all). good backing band Warren Hood and the Goods, with Warren on fiddle and Emily as the Female accompanist on several songs.
He is not on the East Coast often, so if you get a chance, make sure you go.

I've seen Hayes a couple times now and will go to see him again. I will probably try to avoid the Aladdin theater in Portland Oregon though. The audience has clearly spent too much time trying to emulate the show Portlandia. Hayes was spot-on though and powered through the poorly timed catterwaller of the crowd. I highly recommend Hayes' music and have shared it with many.

The Hayes Carll show on 12/29/11 was a fantastic show. This was the 3rd time I have seen him play this year. It was definately worth the extra bucks to get the reserved seats for the show. The sound was good and he played a great set list. We took our daughter and son in law that were in town for the holidays to the show. They had never seen him play before and they had a great time too. Our son in law will soon be deployed. Hayes took the time to do a meet and greet with us before the show and gave Edgar a shout out before he played the title song from his most recent release, KMAG YOYO! It was a night that we will never forget.

I just really love Hayes' music. Everything about it but especially his lyrics. He put on an amazing show at House of Blues in Houston. This was the second chance I've had the pleasure of seeing him onstage and he just owns it. Love him!

Caitlan Rose -- the opening act -- sang well, but hasn't quite figured out what to do with herself when she's not singing. Hayes did a great job. His lyrics are creative and funny and the band was powerful and rockin'. Hayes did a good job of connecting to the audience and keeping the set lively.

Hayes Carll was awesome at the Birchmere. Of course, I expected no less from him, although it was my first time seeing him play. An unexpected highlight of the evening, however, was the awesomeness of his opening act. Caitlin Rose and her band are extremely talented young artists, and I've been listening to her music ever since the show.

Opening act(s): The opening act, Caitlyn Rose (sp?) was average. Great voice, but sophomoric stage presence. Drowned out by her band, not much variation in her music. But I guess that's why she's the opening act. Hope she grows up a bit. @

Thoroughly enjoyable performance by Hayes Carll and the Gulf Coast Orchestra at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA on Monday night. The band was the high point - great backup for Hayes and some stellar solos. This was my first time seeing Carll live, and I was a little disappointed. His voice seemed a little worn (maybe he was sick) and did not pack anywhere near the punch nor have the range that he displays on his albums. Was simply off key a couple of times. But his songs are great and he clearly is enjoying himself. Good two hours of his song book, including a few I had not heard before from his first CD. Perfect amount of stage banter and song introductions. Told a few stories, but never drifted far from the music. Will definitely see him again when he is in the area and hope his voice is in better shape.

This was a lot of fun ... Hayes seemed a little off when he started but definitely warmed up a couple of songs in ... The venue was not sold out but Hayes said he thought it was their best Brooklyn showing yet -- in the end he did 6 encores which was fantastic... The last couple was to half the house since the rest had already left, thinking the show was over.

Hayes made the audience feel appreciated and the venue is small and intimate with great sound. The only negative was the morons who feel the need to hold conversations during slower songs. They shout to be heard over the music. Go outside and talk!

This show was great. Hayes is a genuinely nice person and just puts on a fantastic show. He was hanging outside the venue before the show and I got to shake his hand and talked to him for a bit. It was awesome. He was taking requests on stage plus played an amazing set. He really set the standard of what a musician should act like towards their fans and that is being grateful.

Hayes Carll rocked the house in Boston & is probably the best & most prolific song writer of his generation. Very Clever is what "Wrecks Bell" calls him, I say say a genius who loves what he does & sings about drinking & women with poetic humor.

A Bar Room Masterpiece!

I really like Hayes Carll, especially his album Trouble in Mind. This was the first time I've seen him perform and I was excited to see him in a fairly small venue like Paradise. I'd been to Paradise only once before (I live in Brooklyn) to see the Antlers.
In both concerts (Antlers and Hayes) my criticism is the same: the vocals aren't miked well enough. I find this extremely annoying, and I don't know if this is always a problem at Paradise, or if I just happen to be 0 for 2. I will add that while Hayes and his band began their set with great energy and charisma, it seemed to fade somewhat as the evening wore on. Good, but not quite as inspired or inspiring as I hope for in live performances. Saving their strength for Williamsburg, Brooklyn the following night?
The opener btw, Caitlin Rose, was terrific. I didn't know her music and I have since downloaded her most recent cd. I have to say she was better in person.
