Texas troubadour Hayes Carll’s has released“Sake Of The Song”, a single from the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter’s anticipated new album, Lovers and Leavers, which will be released April 8th via Thirty Tigers.
Already receiving widespread acclaim, Rolling Stone recently named the album as one of their “35 Most Anticipated Country Albums of 2016.”
Produced by Grammy-award winning producer and musician Joe Henry (Glen Hansard, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt), the 10-track album was recorded live over five days in Los Angeles during the winter of 2015.
Lovers and Leavers is Carll’s first release since 2011’s acclaimed, KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories). Of the album, Carll says, “Lovers and Leavers isn’t funny or raucous. There are very few hoots and almost no hollers. But it is joyous, and it makes me smile.
No, it’s not my ‘Blood on the Tracks,’ nor is it any kind of opus. It’s my fifth record — a reflection of a specific time and place. It is quiet, like I wanted it to be.”
Carll will tour extensively in celebration of the record, including upcoming dates across the U.K. and Ireland. Additional performances in North America, Europe and Australia will be announced shortly.
