"Hands of the Wicked" is the debut album by Georgia native, michaelCSmith. Recorded in a small studio in the North Georgia mountains and released in 2009; "Hands of the Wicked" captures a spirit as old as the hills it was written in. Sparse instrumentation stacked like bones inside a rich body of lyrics create this 9 song essay on man's dark search for redemption from the belly of his own hell; deeply personal and hauntingly universal. "michaelCSmith is a country/folk troubadour in the early Dylan, Woody Guthrie tradition..."
