In 2018, with four albums under his belt and thousands of shows behind him, Texas singer-songwriter-guitarist Cas Haley was dividing his time between touring and spending time with his wife and kids on his Texas farm. He'd grown up immersed in ska/punk/skateboard culture and the classic reggae-pop of bands like UB40 and Sublime. He'd long since absorbed the hard-knock lessons of his runner-up finish on an early season of America's Got Talent. He'd worked with indie reggae label Easy Star Records, made other fruitful collaborations, and shared stages with the likes of UB40, Nahko and Medicine for the People, and Trevor Hall. All along, he'd gone his own independent way, building an enviable career on the road and in the studio.
Then came the jolt. His wife, Cassy, had a dangerous form of breast cancer. Surgery and chemo were in the cards. Suddenly life seemed a much darker place.
But writing together with Cassy, who was discovering a new strain of creativity as a songwriter, proved to be a big part of the family's journey back to health. The lyrics to "Open Eyes," which became the new album's lead single, popped into Cas's head while they were driving to a follow-up appointment after Cassy's surgery: "Confusion laid its claim on me/Open eyes but still can't see." The aptly named new album Lessons and Blessings comes out June 21, 2019 on Jimmy Buffett's label Mailboat Records.
Lessons and Blessings features collaborations with Mihali Savoulidis (Twiddle), bluesman Seth Walker, and Josh Heinrichs. Cas and his band are slated to perform at major festivals this summer and fall, including the Electric Forest Festival in Michigan, the Shakori Hills GrassRoots Festival, Shangri-La, Galactic Get Down, Project Earth, VIBE HIGH, and the MO ROOTS Music and Arts Festival.
Open Eyes Lyrics
The more i learn the less i know
We all heard that line before
Confusion laid its claim on me
Open eyes but still can't see
Breathing in and freaking out
Is my cycle theres no doubt
Confusion laid its claim on me
Open eyes but still can't see
Ooo man i gotta get out of my head friend
I gotta get out of my way
Ooo man i gotta get out of my head friend
I gotta get out of my way
Organize my thoughts aloud
Packed and wrapped for any crowd
This gift to gab might take my breath
Can't count the words that i have left
Ooo man i gotta get out of my head friend
I gotta get out of my way
Ooo man i gotta get out of my head friend
I gotta get out of my way
The more i learn the less i know
We all heard that line before
Confusion laid its claim on me
Open eyes but still can't see - Hudba
Heard this song on a radio station in Raleigh NC 3 days ago. Has been stuck in my head. Searched the lyrics I could remember for 3 days straight and finally found it. Love the song and discovery of a new amazing artist.
There's nothing you do I don't love. Thank you and your wife for pouring your hearts into this, it's beautiful!

Saw you perform this last Friday (July 30) at Mulcahey's in Wantagh, NY. Loved your touching story of how you wrote this on a difficult road trip with your wife of (now) 22 years. I thanked you later as I left and spotted you near the back bar. Lovely, lovely song and lovely video. Stay well, sir. My two friends and I were the oldest person in the room (by far). We really enjoyed the show. Glad your age group embraces you. It was a very nice surprise to learn about you. See you next time.
