<p><strong>Lovers and Leavers</strong>, the highly anticipated new full-length album from Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter <strong>Hayes Carll</strong>, will be released April 8 via Thirty Tigers. In advance of the release, a new song, “The Love That We Need,” recently premiered at NPR Music and can now be heard/shared via <a href="https://soundcloud.com/thirtytigers/hayes-carll-the-love-that-we-need-1">SoundCloud</a>. Of the track, NPR Music praises, “Depicting failure of such a private, ordinary variety, without any colorful exaggeration or comic relief, is an exacting art. Turns out Carll&#8217;s excellent at it.”</p>
<p>Produced by Grammy-award winning producer and musician Joe Henry (Glen Hansard, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt), the 10-track album was recorded live over five days in L.A. during the winter of 2015.</p>
<p>Of the album, Carll comments:</p>
<p>“I didn’t have one song that I knew would be a sing along or would make people dance. I felt vulnerable in a way that I hadn’t in a long time. But I got what I wanted – a record with space, nuance, and room to breathe. It felt right for my art. It felt right for my life.</p>
<p><em>‘Lovers and Leavers’ isn’t funny or raucous. There are very few hoots and almost no hollers.</p>
<p>But it is joyous, and it makes me smile.</p>
<p>No, it’s not my ‘Blood on the Tracks,’ nor is it any kind of opus.</p>
<p>It’s my fifth record — a reflection of a specific time and place.</p>
<p>It is quiet, like I wanted it to be.”</em></p>
<p>Lovers and Leavers is Carll’s first release since 2011’s acclaimed, KMAG YOYO (&; Other American Stories). Widely praised by critics, The New York Times asserted, “…[Carll] extends a worthy Texas tradition: the weathered, hard-drinking, weary but clear-eyed troubadour…,” while SPIN included him in their feature “The Next Big Things: 11 Artists You Must Hear in 2011,” calling him a “silver-tongue-in-cheek country iconoclast.”</p>
<p>Most recently, Carll was nominated for “Best Country Song” at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards for his song, “Chances Are.” Originally featured on KMAG YOYO, the song was recently re-recorded by Lee Ann Womack for her acclaimed 2014 album The Way I’m Livin’.</p>
<p>Carll will tour extensively in celebration of the record, including upcoming dates across the U.K. and Ireland. Additional performances in North America, Europe and Australia will be announced shortly.</p>
