Hayes Carll - Alone Together (New Vinyl LP)

“”How often,”” singer-songwriter Hayes Carll asks, speaking of his older material, “”does someone get to go back in, change the rhythms, turn up guitars, shift the perspective of a lyric or the delivery of a vocal?”” If you”re one of contemporary Americana”s most in-demand performers: not often. However, a rare break in touring presented Carll with precisely that-an opportunity to revisit (and reimagine) some of the best and most beloved songs in his catalog. Enter the Alone Together Sessions. With songwriter-producer Darrell Scott behind the boards, Carll cut eleven gorgeous acoustic tracks, including a reworked version of 2008”s “”Drunken Poet”s Dream,”” which, on this release, features the legendary Ray Wylie Hubbard. For first-timers, the Alone Together Sessions work as a point of entry to Carll”s songbook; for old fans, it”s a delightful return to form.
