about

"For all its tales of despair and despondency, its sundry social paupers and beleaguered barflies, Working My Way Down is empowered by a defiantly sanguine spirit, a hope-filled resolution that no problem is insurmountable, and a common conviction in Mary Pettibone Poole’s aphorism that “He who laughs, lasts.” It’s also a worthy tribute to friendships that have endured across the toughest of times and demonstrates the musical bonds that drew these guys together in the first place." - No Depression

“Amid their individual musical pursuits, the two never lost touch and recently made “Working My Way Down,” the rootsy, rocking album they intended to make all those years ago, but with a little more seasoning between them as singers, songwriters, and
players.” – Houston Chronicle

“It’s clear that Working My Way Down is best an example of how one might consider taking an opportunity to work their way up.”
– American Songwriter

"The album opens on the raucous 'The Bottle And Me,' before sliding into the bluesy title track. What follows is a set that vacillates between driving, full-throttle rock, and catchy Americana, recalling bands like Drivin’ n’ Cryin’ and Jason & The Scorchers." - ∫
americanahighways.org/2023/03/24/review-mike-stinson-johnny-irion-working-my-way-down/

"It’s packed with ear-worm melodies and hooks and sounds clearly like the guys werehaving a good time in the studio, and if you close your eyes and transform your room into
some truckstop bar joint with this blasting from the stage, then so will you." - Folk &
Tumble

“Working My Way Down” is a courageous rocker that fills our ears with a sly and soulful delivery reminiscent of early Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and the rockin' abandon of Drivin N Cryin. From the bleeding guitar tones to the rich production, Stinson and
Irion exemplifies heartfelt rockin’ Americana, one that has fallen the wayside in recent
times." - Glide Magazine

"Starting with distorted harmonica and sweeping guitar arpeggios, the track mixes elements of Americana, blues, and jangle pop. Stinson and Irion’s tight vocal harmonies soar during the song’s catchy chorus. Everything builds to a beautiful guitar solo outro. Truly a work of excellent songwriting craftsmanship." - Surviving the Golden Age

"Set apart by the perfectly flawed authenticity of the voices of Mike Stinson and Johnny Irion, Working My Way Down is first-rate." - V13
"This passionate alt-country jam is vintage indie country. It recalls the legacies of Whiskeytown and Uncle Tupelo. Stinson and Irion display an appreciation for classic country with the alternative punk vigor of The Replacements." - The Wild is Calling
