A best kept Texas secret and cult favorite for decades, Adam Carroll is a masterful storyteller, deep thinking songsmith, and recipient of high praise from his musical peers. Carrying the tradition of greats like Guy Clark, his discography began with a debut in 1998 and his most recent albums in 2019, but during his discussion with Notably Texan he did make clear that a new record is in the works and perhaps coming soon. Carroll spoke with KETR leading up to a performance at the East Texas A&M University September 10th Lion's Reserve fundraising event, and spoke about some of his favorite musicians, insights to some of his fan-favorite songs like Rice Birds and Red Bandanna Blues, the importance of public radio, and his opinions about AI's involvement in music.
