Last time we ran into singer Hayes Carll, he put on a special little two-stepping show at the Double Wide in the midst of a small-club tour throughout Texas.

As Chris Gray pointed out in this week's paper issue, Carll puts out more than just rowdy country: his is "thinking man's music". More photos from Carll's House of Blues jaunt after the jump.
