Label: Capitol
Release Date: 2002
Review Date: 2003

Unknown Hinson is the King of Country & Western troubadours. He’s every worman’s dream, and that’s no typo. Hell, he’s out of prison. He’s Unknown Hinson. Scoot on over to UnknownHinson.com and pickup the Rock ‘N’ Roll is Straight From Hell EP for 8 bucks before his chart-topping sideburns take over the world. Are you getting the picture? Imagine a less lazy Deadbolt that decided to channel Johnny Cash instead of the Ventures. The EP, is half live, half faux live, half studio and it’s funny as hell but it doesn’t capture his live magnetism and power enhanced by his chart-topping eyebrows. Rock ‘N’ Roll is Straight From Hell is supposedly on Capitol’s country branch, but he’s not mentioned anywhere. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was a gag. Poop on Hank the III, Jump on the Hinson train before he gets discovered and you’ll have to listen to your hipster friends talk about how they saw him when he truly was unknown. Don’t forget to “Ask Unknown” if you’ve got the guts to visit his web site.
