Micah P. Hinson is based in Abilene, Texas. I actually have a friend from there. She shucks corn for a job during the summer whilst talking on her cell phone. It's really not the most desirable place to live in my opinion (nothing much to do there).
Anyhow, Micah has had an extremely tough life. He's battled drug addiction, went to county jail, and lost almost everything and became homeless because of it. The outcome of all of this is beautiful music.
I have the EP "Baby & The Satellite" which is excellent and I reccomend to all of you. It was recorded in Dallas. I have been listening to it in constant rotation, along with a few others, the past couple of weeks and it sounds new every time.
I guess if you must categorize him he is a singer/Songwriter with an edge. He has loads of European dates lined up coming up soon mainly France and the UK. His new record, "The Opera Circuit", is out on Aug, 28 in the UK and Oct. 10 in the US. The new single is "Jackeyed." Watch out for it or do yourself a favor and look for it.

He's cuuute. Does he have that southern accent thing going? I guess I'll have to invest in the album to really find out.

Sorry, alas there is no Southern drawl. Very intense, haunting, and interesting voice nonetheless.
