    Hinson is blessed with a rich, warm voice that lifts him above most of his faux-redneck competitors, and he can arrange a song gloriously.

    [The songs] sound like woozy shanties for seasick barflies. [Nov 2006, p.100]

    A record enveloping enough to be therapeutic but vital enough to be inspiring. [Dec 2006, p.89]

    It’s not that The Opera Circuit doesn’t sound pleasant, or that his lyrics aren’t solid; they just don’t hit me as being all that moving or even mildly engaging.

    It seems like Hinson puts far more energy into conveying some sense of backwoods authenticity than writing songs that inspire any type of real emotion. [Oct 2006, p.200]
