In episode 230 of The Raised Rowdy Podcast, host Luke Levenson sits down with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Hayes Carll for a thoughtful and humorous conversation about songwriting, storytelling, and the winding road of a career in Americana music. Hayes reflects on early influences, the Texas songwriting tradition, and how his music evolved from bar gigs to critically acclaimed records. They discuss writing with artists like Allison Moorer and Brandy Clark, staying grounded in your creative voice, and embracing imperfections that make a song feel human. Hayes shares stories from the road, thoughts on co-writing vs. solo writing, and the beauty of connecting with fans through honest, character-driven songs. It’s a masterclass in lyrical craftsmanship with plenty of laughs and hard-earned wisdom along the way.
