Hayes Delivers! and brings some great surprises!
by TxLaLa on 3/13/23Tannahill's Tavern and Music Hall - Fort WorthRating: 5 out of 5So, I don't know if Tannahills is just a much better venue than I've been to in the last 3 years; but I do think that has A LOT to do with it; lets start there! sound was great; unlike; not naming any names; but there's a place up the street that's ICONIC but the sound is just horrific... So start with actually being able to hear what the singers are singing and pickers are playing; heck we could even hear those awesome harmonies! and NOT an over trebled; over re-verbed; Karaoke sound with obvious sweeteners (backing track) blaring so loud that it sounds like a muddle mess... NOT HERE! GREAT SOUND balance; fun and not over bearing lights; really just perfect. So GREAT JOB Tannahills! which leads me to; Hayes sounded better than I've heard in a minute; not that he's sounded bad ever!, that's not why I'm saying, at all; I just didn't realize HOW good it could be! He had a new picker (I think he's new to the band; don't remember him) he played lead guitar; dobro, mandolin and could probably play just about anything he wanted; His name is Travis Linville; and he's a star in his own right... wow just wow.. the extra that he brought can't be bottled...it's best taken live and with a cold beer... he literally lift Hayes music to another level! LOVED LOVED the bassist who picked note for note with Travis; and oh those harmonies; not to be outdone by his percussionist who played everything from a can of beans to a straw broom! he's not to be left out at all!!! he just rounded it all out!
It really was the best show I've seen Hayes Carll put on; (we missed Allison fyi) BUT he put it all out there! I loved it so so much!!!
