Hey Tumblr Country Music People, I’m looking for some feedback here:

Is “Beaumont” by Hayes Carll the sequel to “The Night’s Too Long” by Lucinda Williams/Patty Loveless?  Is the singer in “Beaumont” one of those “small town boys that don’t move fast enough” in Lucinda’s song, only now he’s gathered up some courage, or at least tried to, and so he chases that waitress who fled town years ago all the way to Houston? Is this theory of mine ludicrous? Obvious?  Maybe just unimportant?

First, listen to “The Night’s Too Long,” then give “Beaumont” a spin, then let me know what you think…

I had not made that connection, but it’s sure somethin’ to ponder on…
