"This collection of love-lost and the the anguished aftermath songs are hauntingly effective in conveying the soul wrenching and soul draining effect of a major relationship meltdown. Hinson's craggy voice is not an angel's but one of a guy who who has to-must let these songs out.The songs are basic but beautifully framed .The last track alone-The Day Texas Sank to the Bottom of the Sea- is worth the purchase. It's one of the most achingly beautiful, SADDEST songs, EVER."

Loved it so much I 'bought' it twice!

"OK, I stole this cd. I was briefly sharing an office with a music magazine and this cd was languishing at the bottom of a huge pile. No one seemed too interested in it. I liked the title, and the cover, so I 'borrowed' it.



First listen I wasn't sure, second I was interested, third I was hooked. Now, a year and a half later it is still a red-hot regular on my stereo. Don't worry Micah, I believe in supporting great artists, so I returned the cd to the music mag and told them to review it, then went out and bought my own copy. From the opening classic, 'Close Your Eyes', to the powerhouse of my favourite, 'Patience', this is one classy and brilliant album.



I have since found his first, and watched some clips of him online (he might sound old and weather-beaten but, surprisingly, he looks like a cross between Harry Potter and Jack Osbourne).



This is a fantastic album. Buy it and give it a few listens. it will stay with you forever.



Please tour Down Under Micah!!"

Beautiful and Honest Music

"I came across this cd while ordering another and decided to buy one based on the samples. I'm truly amazed at Micah P. Hinson's talent - he must be an old soul, as everyone keeps saying. I have since bought the other cd's and love them all. If you don't like music with sincerity, depth or an amazing singer, then you might agree with one reviewer, but otherwise I think you'll love this artist and cd."
