     ThereÆs an almost overwhelming urge to resort to the usual country
     stereotypes before a note has been played on this, the fourth album from
     Texan Micah P. Hinson. Taking into account his history of drug addiction,
     homelessness and jail and factoring in a cursory glance at song titles that
     include DyinÆ Alone and Tell Me It AinÆt So, itÆs hard not to imagine
     getting your job back, your woman coming home and your dog coming back to
     life if this record was played backwards.
     Yet, be that as it may, HinsonÆs fourth album finds itself occupying that
     overcast hinterland so favoured by those who live their lives in black
     while simultaneously delivering country music that remains heartfelt and
     well out of the reach of parody. ThatÆs partly down to HinsonÆs baritone
     voice; rich and sonorous, it carries a gravitas beyond parody. It isnÆt
     just lived-in, the squatters have been there while the scavengers have
     helped themselves to the fixtures and fittings.

     The shimmering guitars of You Will Find Me evoke deserts and wide open
     spaces as elsewhere When We EmbracedÆs pithy vernacular sees Hinson
     painting from a palette that harks to a bygone age and herein lies HinsonÆs
     true skill û his ability to remain convincing throughout and keeping the
     clichés well at bay.

     Most importantly, the thing that also counts heavily in HinsonÆs favour is
     the manner in which this release will appeal to both AmericanaÆs long-time
     observers and the casual listener. This is the real deal but one thatÆs
     unashamedly inclusive.
