Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris and Gregg Allman can eat (the noble working man's) dirt — Texan troubadour Hayes Carll topped all of them with 'KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories)', the USA's most played Americana album of 2011 (and his second release from iconic Americana label Lost Highway, after 2008's widely acclaimed 'Trouble In Mind').
If you like folk country served up with a side of sawdust and whiskey (is there any other kind?), you won't want to miss Carll's Australian tour, including dates at Lizottes (Newcastle) on Wednesday August 22 and Factory Theatre on Sunday August 26.
