SONG APPEARS ON THE FORTHCOMING ALBUM WE’RE ONLY HUMAN,
HIS MOST PERSONAL AND REFLECTIVE ALBUM TO DATE 
OUT AUGUST 8TH VIA HWY 87 RECORDS/THIRTY TIGERS“Like John Prine, Carll has a clever, concise style of communicating serious concepts, frequently through dark humour, displaying world-weary truths underneath wry lyrics.” – American Songwriter

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Hayes Carll has released the laid-back new song ’High’ off his highly anticipated, forthcoming album, We’re Only Human. The album is set for release on August 8th via Hwy 87 Records/Thirty Tigers.

Opening with flugelhorn, flute and piano, the easygoing track serves a metaphor for that rare feeling of inner peace, recognsing a moment when fear, stress, chaos and confusion subsideCarll sings, I have chased a feeling all these years / Blocked by insecurities and fears / Oh it feels so good as that all disappears / I have chased this feeling all these years.” It is a reminder to stop, breathe and savor that state of mind when it arrives. Watch the new video for ‘High’ HERE.

Hayes Carll has spent his celebrated and critically acclaimed career masterfully crafting songs that allow us to take a good look at ourselves through his character narratives and sage perspectives. On We’re Only Human, he turns the mirror back on himself for the most deeply introspective and reflective work of his career. We’re Only Human is a contemplative and personal albumbut it is a work with Carll’s signature all over it as it overflows with his extraordinary balance of thoughtful lyrics, grit, tenderness and sardonic wit. “The record was inspired by a desire to start listening to my inner voice rather than running from it. The songs are my way of solidifying the lessons I’ve learned, not because I have all the answers, but because I need the reminder that we’re all only human,” says Carll.

We’re Only Human is the long-awaited follow up to 2021’s critically acclaimed You Get It All. The album garnered high praise from the media, including Rolling Stone, The Associated Press, American Songwriter, No Depression, Holler, Glide Magazine and many more (See Highlights).
