Hayes Carll We're Only Human

Hayes Carll's New 2025 Studio Album We're Only Human on LP.

Hayes Carll is set to release his deeply personal and reflective album We’re Only Human on August 8th via HWY 87 Records. The album showcases Carll’s signature blend of thoughtful lyrics, grit, and sardonic wit, with standout tracks like "Progress Of Man (Bitcoin & Cattle)," a sharp commentary on greed and narcissism in society.

Carll describes the album as a journey of self-reflection, exploring themes of insecurity, hope, resilience, and the need for grace in our imperfect world. The album’s closing track, "May I Never," features a powerful ensemble of guest artists including Ray Wylie Hubbard, Shovels & Rope, and more.

In a world fueled with instant gratification and distractions pulling our attention in every direction at once, it is easier than ever to silence the voices in our head that beg us to just sit and listen for a second — to face ourselves for who we are and begin the slow, often painful process of accepting our past and moving forward. At its heart, this record delves into what it means to be human—the emotions, struggles, and growth that come with it—while reminding us to extend grace to ourselves and others along the way.
