“With a howling voice that echoes heartland heroes like Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp, Mickelson keeps it exciting on his latest “Hail Marys,” showing off power pop tendencies similar to Big Star while staying true to folk music spirit”. – SF Weekly

“It’s American folk-Rock with a post punk edge, rustic but scarred.” – Alternative Press Magazine
