Trouble In Mind: A- Review!
Texas singer-songwriter Carll makes nouveau-outlaw country, poetic diction delivered with a rasp (a lover who "likes to lay naked and be gazed upon," indeed). His best melodies are honky-tonk lamentations, with detours into banjo-plunking balladry ("Girl...

FOUR STARS for Trouble In Mind
The tone is spot-on and the songs have just the right amount of heft, humour and humanity. You can see why Guy Clark championed this 32-year-old Texan and co-wrote with him on his last album. Even then Carll's own songs stood out. There are 14 on his...
