User Album Review
Songwriter Hayes Carll has always placed his craft first. His best work has been defined by its rich irony, a keen eye for quirky images, and quick, catchy melodies that were equally at home in a honky tonk, a car, or on a festival stage. Lovers and Leavers, his Joe Henry-produced fifth album is a departure. It's sparser, airier, more directly confessional. In the past, Carll's story-songs more often than not reflected a likable wandering rogue, a gypsy songman whose authority problem and self-deprecating attitude made quick friends of listeners. But a poet was always there too, just under the surface. These songs reflect wisdom gained from hard living, embracing gratitude, loss, and love. The only electric guitar on Lovers and Leavers is Eric Heywood's pedal steel; Henry placed Carll's acoustic guitar front and center framed by David Pilch's basses, Jay Bellerose's drums and percussion, and Tyler Chester's keyboards (no synths).
Carll presents these songs with open hands and heart; he made Lovers and Leavers to prove something to himself. With the canny assistance of Henry's sensitive production, the songwriter's vulnerability rises into open view and elevates his craft along with it. In Carll's world -- and hopefully ours -- love wins, no matter what.
