Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following periods of homelessness and personal turmoil, the young Texan songwriter collaborated with The Earlies to produce this lushly orchestrated debut. Hinson's weathered, weary baritone is framed by grandiose chamber-folk arrangements, providing a stark contrast to his dark, deeply cynical narratives of addiction and heartbreak.
