Biography
"...The combination of Stocksdale and Strand with careful instrumental framing works on ‘Chase You’ as if you are digging for gold. You can simply never get enough of the sounds coming towards you. With ‘Chase You’, Mike Stocksdale has delivered the ultimate record, like the one all artists are waiting for. All that remains now is to convince the interested listener to actually get his CD into their home."
-Johan Schoenmakers, www.altcountryforum.nl

"It's not often that an artist can tell a story so intricately that listeners feel as if they've taken a ride through the songwriter's mind. Mike Stocksdale does just that. His songs, although similar in style, have such wonderful composition and tone that each one can stand alone to showcase his talent. Similar to the cool country stylings of John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" and folky carefree feel of Paul Simon's "Slip Slidin' Away," Stocksdale is a modern reminder of what good music sounds like in its simplest form."
