Hayes Carll, Pierce Edens

When: Fri., June 29, 8 p.m. 2018

Austin, Texas, has blessed us with a surplus of great songwriters, and Hayes Carll’s up there with the best, if only for that one song on his brilliant debut Trouble in Mind. We’re referring, of course to “She Left Me For Jesus,” which boasts the best refrain ever: “She left me for Jesus and that just ain’t fair / She says that he’s perfect, how could I compare? / She says I should find him and I’ll know peace at last / If I ever find Jesus, I’m kickin’ his ass.”
