One Man Mutiny

One Man Mutiny was produced by Phillip Broussard Jr.[7] Stinson recorded the album over the course of a few years, using time between Guns N' Roses tours; members of Guns N' Roses contributed to the album.[8][9] Some of the tracks were recorded at Geo Sound, in Philadelphia.[10] Paul Westerberg cowrote "Match Made in Hell".[11] The title track was recorded in a restaurant in Brussels.[12] The first version of "Destroy Me" was written in the late 1990s.[13] "Meant to Be" is a duet with Stinson's wife.[14]

The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that One Man Mutiny "contains riff-driven rockers, a couple of tunes with a countryish bent, and quieter moments that recall Replacements leader Paul Westerberg at his most reflective and openhearted."[11] The Boston Globe noted the "loose-limbed, Stones-y rave-ups."[17] The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette deemed the album a "gritty set that has some nice slide guitar action."[15]

NPR praised "Stinson's amiable rasp and keen ear for melody."[18] Cincinnati CityBeat called the album "raw and elemental Stonesy rock with twangy overtones, circa Exile on Main Street."[19] The Long Island Press considered "Match Made in Hell" to be "a tongue-in-cheek odd couple ditty with a luau vibe."[16] Spin labeled One Man Mutiny "a homespun collection of crystalline guitar-pop and confessional balladry."[20]
