When you hear the name Micah P Hinson, it brings to mind songs of loneliness, darkness, defeat and heartbreak. But somewhere beneath [the rose - see what i did there?], you can find love and hope. It came to my surprise that this Texan born phenom will be releasing an album of covers that showcases his take on some his favorite timeless classics. All Dressed Up And Smelling Of Strangers is out Sept 21st via Full Time Hobby. Check out his intense cover of Leadbelly's "In The Pines" down below.
