Grammy-nominated musician (and native of The Woodlands) Hayes Carll announces new deluxe edition of album

THE WOODLANDS, TX – Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Hayes Carll will release the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed album We’re Only Human on January 16. 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.”

Hayes was raised in The Woodlands Township and is a graduate of The Woodlands High School. He recently performed a special concert for The Township's 50th anniversary celebrations at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, returning to a venue where he was once an employee.

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.

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.

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.
