about

“A Wondrous Life” is Mickelson's follow up to the Grammy balloted record “Flickering” (2015). On this new record Mickelson performed nearly all the tracks as well as engineered and produced it.

These magazines had this to say about “A Wondrous Life”.

“I call it anthemic when a band or chorus hits all the notes just right and the sound becomes bigger than it should be and Mickelson hits it often enough on this album to make it worthy of the highest of recommendations.”
- NO DEPRESSION

“the balance between strong, subtle, unexpected, and sophisticated.”
- PASTE

“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

Strong influences of Gregg Allman, Sturgill Simpson and Nathaniel Rateliff can be heard throughout the track, powerfully blending Mickelson’s vocals with his rough, hard rock instrumentals. - TREBLE

He operates from within the traditional landscapes of the singer-songwriter aesthetic but manages to find new ways to inject a refreshing vitality and electrifying energy into its familiar movements. - SOUTHERN SOUNDINGS
