Album Review: Kmag Yoyo (& Other American Stories) by Hayes Carll

Texas country artist Hayes Carll takes us from bar country-rock songs to slow twangy ballads and does it all with an ease that is quite compelling. 

To me though part of making an album is putting together a group of songs that fit together to create an experience.  With Carll all over the map musically and lyrically it's a bit hard to fall fully into the experience.  The album would make background music and I could see picking songs for mix tapes, but as a full unit that draws you in it falls short. 

A fun album to play while playing pool.

Following the Rhapsody rating method I give it 2 out of 5 stars for Not Bad.
