Hayes Carll - "Beaumont"

[RDPicker]

God I miss Texas.

[lyons2008]

Great song. Had some some good times in Beaumont. In person he sounds just like he sings.

[PieterVanCanneyt]

It's way better with only the guitar

[chillhill3]

Pasadena gets a mention. Fuck yeah.

[Riskman77]

@chillhill3 Pasa-get-down-dena!



[UPALLNITE4U]

W T F ? Jesus H. Christ !!! This might be the worst shit I've heard since .......well fuck! This IS the worst shit I've EVER heard. Who is this crazy son of a bitch. He has to be fucked up to do this shit in public. No need for anyone to reply. I already know.

[HugeDeal]

4 People like dick.

[HollyLovesAsians]

Beaumont is boring. :/ But this song is not.

[MonasouSCTV]

...Is it me, or is this song about a guy telling someone that he can't do a relationship? What a fuckhead...

[aritherock]

@MonasouSCTV I hear it as him traveling to try to win over someone who is not yet ready for a relationship, perhaps because she is still recovering from a previous love. And he realizes that to dwell on her when she is not receptive would be too painful, since he is in love with her.

[dves517]

if u dislike this u must be a muslim...

[UPALLNITE4U]

@dves517 I dislike the fucking song and the "singer" and I hate muslims and islam, so suck on this......

[mikehonchoization]

Beaumont is a Great place to be from, and a good place to be.

[powerwagon8]

he sounds kinda like todd snider

[rise54321]

i've moved alot since I was 10 but whenever someone asks where I'm from, where's my hometown... It's always BEAUMONT, TX.

[laurenknudson]

Just saw this on Fox News! Putting Beaumont on the radar :)

[jasonjmc27]

Thumbs up if you're from Beaumont!

[CourtyardPigeon]

does he sing so badly on purpose?

[Mistysin3]

I just love the way he says "Murphy"

[Zsolto66]

OMG how I love this... Thank you for sharing.

[aagil23]

One of my favorite songs. "I saw you leaning on a memory with your back turned to the crowd".....

[jadewal]

[Hossfly308]

Good music. I could not wait forever babe I hope you understand.......

[texascowboy72]

Any song about Beaumont is a good one

[bshdad]

The second coming of John Prine.

Great songwriter.

[steeeltoejoe]

I really couldn't wait forever, I'm sorry.

[BrotherBadSeed]

Hayes Carll, Ryan Bingham, Justin Townes Earle, the best of the new generation.

[Warbrain88]

@BrotherBadSeed Hear hear brother!!

[tejasbullet]

who is the cat playing mandolin (and guitar) with Hayes in this Paste series?

[canyondogh]

Try and put a price tag on that . . Another Townes Van Zandt . . .

[NEILCCROSS1978]

heard this on the michael berry show

[TheLincolnLankford]

man this is good stuff this should be all over the

[MrRiblet]

at Hayes' simplest...beautiful

[rachaeldaniels]

I love this song about my hometown.

[eddieboable]

Damn fabulous song!!!!

[jipes]

Just a wonderful song played straight from the heart !

[hornsby05]

texas country is the shit ...........nashville sucks as cory morrow says

[lousinup]

i saw HAYES CARLL @ the National in Richmond, VA earlier this month --- he was amazing!!! SO SEXY!!

[cravey44]

i like that v-neck undershirt.

[PeacePrincess13]

dude who keeps commenting CHILL OUT!!!!! IT'S A SONG!!!!!!

[probinson1337]

@PeacePrincess13 darlin' I would never make a negative comment about Hayes, I said that his Lyrics reminded me of Townes and his musicianship reminded me of either Guy or Verlon, Hell That's as high as I am capable of praising anyone, look at the company I put him in with dead seriousness. Matter of fact I compared his voice to a cross between Rodney Crowell and Jimmy Dale Gilmore. I couldn't love him more, but my favorite Hayes song at the moment is bad liver and a broken heart.

[probinson1337]

I can hear Townes in his words but not his voice, his voice is HIS, like Rodney or Jimmie Dale's

[probinson1337]

He goes straight to my heart lyrically, like Townes (and I don't take that name in vain), Musically he reminds me more of Guy and/or Verlon, especially his little flamenco/mariachi flourishes. His voice is totally unique, to me it's as ethereal as Jimmy Dale in a whole different way, SE Texas with a little Arkansas drawl he went to school at Hendrix. He truly represents the next generation . 1100 Springs are great and have their place, but I'll take Hayes and the old guys given a choice.

[TJMayes24]

I stumbled upon Hayes Carll flippin through some videos and was blown away by his songwriting. Hope he comes to Chicago at some point. I covered this song. Check it out.

[jon998811]

Great!

[mandyroxurworld]

i love this song so much, he has such a nice voice.

[spiderdumbcat]

Hayes and Steve Earle coming to Calgary this week. Can hardly wait!!!

[Tharix88]

Wonderful song one of the best songwriters. definatly these days since townes is gone and steve and guy clark are old. but he sounds nothing like steve earler

[SarahHughey]

Good Music has no borders

[MrAdkins1]

no. 999 he sounds like Hayes Carll

[lacienega999]

such a good song. He sounds like steve earle !

[canyondogh]

If it's good . . we'll listen to it . . no matter where it comes from.

And this song, and Hayes Carll . . are right up there . .

[fsundstromofficial]

saw him recentley on jools holland. Got stuck imediatley! He reminds me of someone but cant figure out who...:S

[cookbill2000]

In this song Hayes reminds me of Chuck Brodsky.

[GeorgiaBoii32]

forgot to say, this guy is a badassss though :)

[GeorgiaBoii32]

texas country is okay....georgia and tenn is better.

[A444038]

are you serious i get it your from georgia, and all your music and tenn. sounds like the crap we get from nashville, hell the nashville stations here cant even survive anymore without a large portion of their music being TEXAS music, the only people here that like nashville happen to be fat chicks, must be a Georgia thing, just bustin your balls though man, but manadolins and fiddles steel guitars are the center piece of our music scene, not whatever that crap you guys export from that part of

[25soapsuds]

i like how texas music has the pat green cory morrow, roger creager randy rogers style and then u have the ragweed,jack ingram and wade bowen sound and then u have the poet types like hayes and ryan bingham POINT-texas has it all!!

[KingScuzzo]

I'm from Athens, GA. I love Texas music, but the south east has some great players as well. Old crow medicine show just to name one. I understand your from Texas and take everything as a personal attack, but there's a lot of good stuff outside of Texas you should try leaving sometime. Don't mess with Texas!! Just bustin' your balls man.

[williamstlj530]

I agree! I'm also from Texas! Just don't go all "Nashville" on me and we will be cool! They have pretty much caused this Texas Music Genre to explode with their bad taste in country music.

[ctrich3]

I'll tell you what boy, I usually don't defend Texas singers but I am this time. We love Hayes Carll in Lousiana. Texas Country is in a tremendous resurgence and Hayes Carll has something to do with that. Georgia and Tennessee have absolutely nothing on Texas or Louisiana.

[williamstlj530]

I agree with ya!

[probinson1337]

@GeorgiaBoii32 Don't start with me, you know how I get! Viva Mi Tejas, Texas Uber Alles. You're too close to Nashhell, you're brainwashed.  Get Down here muy pronto and we'll cure you.

[SportsGuy2307]

nashville sucks!

[dolairent]

This is what Texas country is all about. Love Love Love it!

[redcav04]

i'm from beaumont, my ex was from houston, i feel like this song was written for me. you da man, Hayes!

[dy8333]

this guy is great

[werttrew99]

I really love this song. Fantastic.

[RickHempy]

Great song. I'm rapidly becoming a big Hayes fan.

[RossWildish]

[earlefan]
