He looks reluctantly from the cover and uncertainly plucks his shirt sleeve, but things are going quite well with the American country artist Hayes Carll. After his dark divorce from 2016, he found female colleague ( 's ex) his new love. Moorer has a dominant presence on What It Is as a co-producer, co-songwriter and singer. And as a muse, of course, in Carll's solid roots and country rock songs
… in which he never turns his heart into a murder pit. As with his casual rival Earle, Carll's songs always sound to the point. Also careful strings here and there (Moorer's idea?) Do not get in the way of an elementary and dry sound, where rough guitars dominate. Just like in the cover photo, Carll doesn't do finery or theater. What it is, and nothing else. (MR)more
