Korby talks with Texas singer-songwriter Hayes Carll about his 10th record We're Only Human, writing intentionally for an album as a piece for the first time, the two-phase creative process of free creation and editing, catching lightning bolts vs. honing craft, the monkey mind, journaling, The Artist's Way morning pages, growing up a latchkey kid in The Woodlands, the Kenny Rogers greatest hits tape, hearing Dylan at the Unitarian Church at 15, Crystal Beach dive bars, Bob's Sports Bar, the Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe, Townes Van Zandt, the fear of being defined by a funny song, Todd Snider and Ray Wiley Hubbard's advice, humor and vulnerability in songwriting, midlife reassessment, scaling down ambitions, sobriety and stillness, Milan Kundera, Captain James Cook, social media anxiety, the handprint man story, and co-writing with MC Taylor. Hayes performs "I Think I'll Stay Here a While" live.
