“2023 is still quite active, and while I haven’t heard a lot of new records from the alternative country underground yet, this is easily one of the best LPs I’ve listened to so far of any genre.” - Mindy McCall

“... he was smart to stick with a barebones filtration with every song here. There’s a lot for us to dig into in Late Check-In without having to pick apart clutter in the grander scheme of things, and by avoiding the pitfalls of excess, this artist wound up delivering one of the most poignant albums of its kind to see release in 2023.” - Nicole Killian

““World At War” is a must-listen. It’s a powerful track that delivers an important message without sacrificing the artistry and craftsmanship that makes good music great. With Late Check In set to release this spring, it’s clear that Jimmy Goings is back and better than ever.” - Garth Thomas

“Late Check-In finds ways to be exceptionally provocative, deeply relatable, and starkly vulnerable in moments where we would least expect it to be, and among the independent singer/songwriter LPs that I’ve had the pleasure of looking at this summer, it is far and away the most aesthetically complete and inarguably listenable.” - Anne Hollister

““World at War” is a call to action... it stands up against modern protest rock acts and proves that Goings is still at the top of his game after more than 50 years in the music industry. Fans of classic rock, protest music, and powerful vocals won’t want to miss this one.” - Nicole Killian

“its relevance in today’s world is a testament to Goings’ ability to tap into universal themes that remain as timely and impactful now as they did in 1980.” - Heather Savage

“…but from where I sit, Late Check-In is a watershed moment for his discography; inside of its fourteen songs, it introduces us to an unrestrained Jimmy Goings who isn’t shy about putting everything out on the table both lyrically and instrumentally…” - Chadwick Easton

““World At War.” It’s a song that demands your attention and leaves a lasting impression. While it’s easy to get caught up in the flashy, disposable pop music of today, it’s artists like Goings who remind us that music can still be a force for change. Late Check In is shaping up to be an album worth waiting for, and if “World At War” is any indication, it’s going to be a standout release in 2023.” - Cleopatra Patel
