Even all these years after he released maybe the saddest country song of all time, Jason Michael Carroll is still tugging at the heartstrings – and issuing a call to action. You probably recognize Carroll for his many of hits of the early 2000s, songs like “Livin’ Our Love Song,” “Where I’m From” (still a banger if you haven’t listened to it lately), and of course the heartbreaking “Alyssa Lies” from 2006.
