The first real mainstream exposure for Unknown Hinson came with this 6 track EP. It gives a pretty good cross-section of his material (which admittedly, doesn't have a lot of varity to it...it's usually either a country ballad, or a 50's/60's style rock song). However, the content of these songs is what sets UH apart - and often above - other musicians. One of the greatest guitar players in music today (no kidding!), seeing a live performance is quite an experience. There are two live tracks here, although neither one really has him going off on the guitar, you get an idea of the energy that goes into his performances (especially on the opening track, "Silver Platter."). Ironically, the only weak song on the album is the title track. The only issue I've ever really had with "The King of Country Western Troubadours" is that some of this electric guitar based songs are really lacking in the production department, and that is very evident on this track. The distortion and vocal effects used make it sound like this was recorded and produced by a band fresh out of middle school. That one minor setback is not enough for me to deter a recommendation though. UH creates a great cross-section of musicianship and dark humor...early and often. This is a great way to sample Unknown Hinson. However, if you're willing to spend a little more cash for a full album, I'd recommend either picking up his very first independent record "21 Chart Toppers," or his latest album "Target Practice."Read full review
If you like guitar players, like some country flavor to your music, and like politically incorrect humor, this is the CD for you. Hinson has been tearing up ballroms for over a decade, and has never left a crowd (or woman) unsatisfied. In his own words: "I'm Unknown Hinson, I'm the king of country western troubadors. I'm every woman's dream, and every jealous husband's nightmare. I know how to get rid of a jealous husband...and I don't leave any mess."
Gooder n' hail.
