The 32-year-old Texan delivers songs born of baptism-by-fire experience, world weary observations and sharp wit. While his songs draw a direct line from some of his legendary Texas heroes such as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, Carll has managed to put a stamp on his music that is truly his own.

Carll's personality permeates all of the songs on Trouble In Mind. He makes this quite clear in the infectious melody of "It's A Shame", the ragged throw down "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart", the satirical "She Left Me For Jesus", and even in his rendition of Tom Waits' "I Don't Wanna Grow Up". - Check out this animated short film.
