“Strickand resides in that artistic cocoon of “should be famous, but isn’t,” yet his journey as a singer-songwriter is soon due to be rewarded with well-deserved appreciation and discovery.”
“Strickland presents his songs as meaningfully and artfully—perhaps more so—as any of the folks getting massive support and clicks, the Tyler Childerses, Charley Crocketts, and such.”
“Gatherin’ Dust” is remarkable and a real keeper as it shows real lyrical excellence...This song should definitely be on some year-end favorite lists, if the whole EP isn’t.” - Elise Cady
