Album Notes & Community Reviews

Penned during a period of intense personal turmoil and physical recovery, 'Micah P. Hinson and the Opera Circuit' matches the troubadour's world-weary baritone with lush string and brass arrangements. The ambitious orchestration frames his Americana-tinged folk songs with a sense of tragic grandeur. It established him as a profoundly emotive voice within the modern folk revival.
