In good company
Shaggy singer-songwriter Hayes Carll is being compared to Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, and Bob Dylan (good for him, right?), and tonight’s your chance to see the man following in these legendary footsteps. Notable songs on the Texan’s new disc, “Trouble in Mind,” include the cowboy-rock track “She Left Me for Jesus” and the heartbreaker “Willing to Love Again,” which starts, “I drink too much, and I smoke too much. I laugh at all my own jokes too
much.” We applaud such self-awareness. 8 p.m. $10. Lizard Lounge, 1667 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge. 617-547-0759. lizardloungeclub.com
