AllMusic[3]

Little Rock is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Hayes Carll.[1][4][2]

The album topped the Billboard Americana chart, the first self-released album to do so.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

The Austin Chronicle called the album "an Americana gem."[5] Exclaim! wrote that it "shows yet another talented Texas troubadour bound for greatness."[6] The Houston Press called it "wordy and witty enough to impress the Americana snobs, but plenty country enough for the dancehall crowd."[7]
