Roadside authenticity for sale.
Micah P. Hinson - Micah P. Hinson And The Opera CircuitPosted by Tim Karan on 06-Dec-06 @ 12:53 PM
[2/5] At the age of 19, Micah P. Hinson went on a crime spree with a Vogue cover model and ending up going to prison for forging prescriptions. Unfortunately, Hinson's life is much more interesting than his music, a largely uninspired mish-mash of caterwauling vocals and acoustic guitars, occasionally steeped with superfluous instrumentation. While tracks like "Diggin A Grave" and "Letter From Huntsville" aren't necessarily bad, it seems like Hinson puts far more energy here into conveying some sense of backwoods authenticity than writing songs that inspire any type of real emotion. Ultimately, Hinson's work is so middle-of-the-road, one almost wishes an 18-wheeler'd strike him. (JADE TREE) Jonah Bayer
