专辑简介

this is somewhat of a live record. recorded during a Dec 2007 show in Rochester NY. Hinkley then added some overdubs (more guitars, vocals, etc) and mixed and mastered it during the spring/summer of 2008 to arrive at this final product. Elephant Roundup is an incredibly strong representation of the "big band" form of Hinkley, complete with the usual guitars, bass, drums and vocals, but in addition, keyboards, misc percussion, violin, banjo, singing saw and baritone horn. the songs range from (alt) country to downer pop to full-on rock with a very strong emphasis, across the board, on song writing and meaningful (and usually story-telling) lyrics.
