"From the first note, the self-titled release from Dickie is a pleasure to listen to. The ten tracks on the release work well as a whole as each song on the release seems to beg the listener to continue listening." —Matheson Kamin, THE ROCK AND ROLL REPORT READ FULL REVIEW

BUDDY HOLLYWOOD spreads the good word about Dickie.

Dickie makes PLAY B SIDE’S “Top 20 Albums of 2015.” MORE INFO

"Overall, Dickie is full of supremely crafted and masterfully executed tunes. Prall and Priceman exhibit a constant fluidity, and the listener able to capture the cohesiveness of a collaboration done right. They have the strength to contend with popular alternative acts of the day, and may stand out for having one of the finest debut albums of this year. Although nothing is for certain yet, the band has my vote, and will most likely find a wider audience who are willing to experience music straight from the heart." —Jake Kussmaul, MUSIC EXISTENCE READ FULL REVIEW

"Prall is a songwriter of the caliber of my very favorite members of the Bruised Hearts Club — the late Elliot Smith, the aforementioned Glen Phillips, Ben Folds, Cat Power, and Sufjan Stevens. With Priceman as partner in composition and foil to his moodiness Dickie is a team that has produced one of my favorite albums both in Prall's catalog as well as this year." —Michael Roeder, LITTLE VILLAGE MAGAZINE READ FULL REVIEW
