hayes carll's 2002 debut, 'flowers and liquor', suggested the young texan might be the next great songwriter from a state full of maestros. this album establishes it as fact. a disciple of the guy clark and ray wylie hubbard school of songwriting, carll makes the considerable leap from mere follower to intellectual peer on 'little rock'. co-writes with clark and hubbard - 'rivertown' and 'chickens', respectively - certainly are highlights, but the true measure of carll's talent is that they're far from the best cuts. that distinction would go to 'take me away', a heartbreaker that weighs sadness against the unforgiving glow of a midnight mississippi moon, and the triumphant 'hey baby where you been'. in close competition is the title track, which rocks like the stones at their most debauched. this album should put carll on the map, and with any luck, it's just an early peek into the depths of his significant gifts.
