After a spot of hammock-swinging, my musical day on Friday started with M. Craft in the Big Top, where I remained for the rest of the evening. One of the great things about End of the Road was that there was a deliberate intention to give bands longer slots than they nornally would have for festival gigs. So more music then. This was the second time I've seen M. Craft at a festival this year, and thankfully I get to see more of him and his brilliant band than I did at Summer [...]

Micah P. Hanson and the Opera Circuit release their new album on October 10th and it's a sprawling, superb collection of 11 songs recorded in Micah's hometown of Abilene, TX. Being somewhat unfamiliar with his previous work I was anticipating this new album for a number of reasons, mostly for the fact that Micah's praises have been sung by folks like yourselves whose opinions I respect. I don't know if folks have ever compared him to a young Tom Waits (that cracked straining voice and the stories of sadness and heartbreak). He also reminds [...]

Today I’m celebrating two welcome comebacks. One is a Brit who’s had a sojourn in the American south and is now returning home. The other is a guy from the American south who’s been the in the UK for a while and has now headed back to Texas. These people are of course Cerys Matthews and Micah P Hinson . No prizes for guessing. First up, is the former singer of Welsh band Catatonia , whose tales of drink, drugs and generally falling off the wagon were legendary among the fading embers [...]

I'm going to break the routine for this post. I'll warn you that it's quite personal and only a select group of you will know who and what I'm talking about, the other 30,000 or so visitors aren't going to know or really care. I guess I'm making this public because it's the hardest thing I could do... and maybe that's a good thing. I've recently realized how sad of a situation we've gotten ourselves into when it comes to dating and relationships. I can't really speak for anyone else, but I know [...]
Here's a little mellowness to take you into the week. Micah P. Hinson, courtesy of Abilene, Texas, sings with a depth and conviction which sounds like it could only have been gleaned from years of serenading bars and whisky joints. Only thing is that Mr. Hinson had barely reached the ripe old age of 18 when most of these demos were made. Micah, whom has started to build up a pretty impressive following across the pond in the U.K., leads each song with a dark, gravely voice singing simple melodies against an unobtrusive guitar. [...]
