Riley Downing
“…like Johnny Cash with a hangover… His brain is abuzz with sounds and ideas, which makes his solo debut a thrill.” – Uncut Magazine
“The debut solo album from the lynchpin of New Orleans’ The Deslondes is a down-home, dusty triumph…” – Uncut Magazine
“…the music has that magical dusky glow, as if the recording sessions were being illuminated by candles and Christmas tree lights and fueled by rye whiskey and weed.” – Paste Magazine
“No matter how well Start It Over fits into the current realities of the world — and it does — Downing’s voice and lyrics will continue speaking for generations to come, and in one way or another, will keep conjuring memories of bygone eras.” – No Depression
