Hell and Half Of Georgia

Mike Stinson, originally from Virginia, toiled mostly behind a drum kit for 18 years in Los Angeles before inexplicably moving to Houston in the summer of 2009. (Yes, in the summer.) But first, he sold his drums, intent on holding court front of stage from then on. By 2011, Mike was well-entrenched in the middle of Houston's music scene and in the studio. This recording is the result; Mike's opus for now. Produced by the esteemed R.S. Field (Billy Joe Shaver, Sonny Landreth, Hayes Carll, Allison Moorer, and dozens more artists of the highest caliber), "Hell and Half of Georgia" defies categories and delivers a torrential aural assault to the mind and senses like a great record should.
