Hayes Carll, "It's a Shame"

His song “She Left Me For Jesus” was one of those rare intentionally funny songs, but Hayes Carll is just as capable of turning in a sincere and reflective song of unrequited love.   His vocal and delivery is like a wonderful hybrid of Lyle Lovett and Todd Snider. He harmonizes eff

ectively with the female backing vocalist, and there's a wistfulness to his delivery that heightens the underlying longing in the song's lyric.
