WINTER TOUR 2026 COMMENCES LATE JANUARY
“It is both vintage Carll and something brand new and unexplored…That Carll charisma is on greater display on ‘We’re Only Human’ than on any other album in his catalog.” – Rolling Stone
“In short, his new LP is the kind of thing the world needs right now.” – American Songwriter
“…one of modern Americana’s genuine masterpieces…” – Holler
Nashville, TN – Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Hayes Carll will release the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed album We’re Only Human on January 16th. We’re Only Human (Deluxe Edition) expands on one of the most celebrated Americana releases of the past year. The deluxe edition features three brand-new tracks, including “If We Don’t Try,” a collaboration with Ashley McBryde, alongside previously unreleased songs “Not There Yet” and “Blues Be Gone.”
Originally released in August, We’re Only Human spent 14 weeks in the Top 5 of the Americana Album Chart, earning unanimous praise from critics and fans alike. The album marks Carll’s most introspective and emotionally transparent work to date, showcasing his trademark wit and keen observational songwriting. View Press Highlights HERE.
“As the title implies, album number ten is Carll’s most vulnerable and transparent to date—and that’s saying a lot for a storyteller with his track record for honesty…his best work.” – Magnet Magazine
The deluxe release caps off a standout year for Carll. In 2025, he toured extensively on the Bible on the Dash Tour with Corb Lund, celebrated the 20th anniversary of his breakthrough album Little Rock, and made his CBS Saturday Morning debut. Carll also presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Darrell Scott at the Americana Music Awards and welcomed Lyle Lovett as a special guest during his Grateful for Christmas show in Austin this past December.
“He’s been cranking out smart, funny, witty records that invite, the kind of ballpark comparisons to all-time greats like Lyle Lovett and Randy Newman. Hayes Carll’s new record is full of rollicking and commentary-packed songs about the state of humanity in the modern world.” – NPR Music
“It’s one of the year’s best albums.” – Folk Alley
“On ‘We’re Only Human,’ Hayes Carll offers an honest and authentic reflection of himself and the world….[he] digs deep into his soul to create the most personal music of his career.” – No Depression
In support of the deluxe edition, Carll will launch the We’re Only Human Winter Tour 2026 in late January, bringing the songs to audiences across nineteen markets nationwide. See a full list of dates below.
