Description
With Go Down Singin' Rice emerges as a spirit settling into a more
philosophical place
Still wildly committed to living wide open in pursuit of his dream and being the
best man possible, there was only one title for this 11-song cycle.
Whether measuring the pitfalls and triumphs on the lean fddle 'n' harmony
assessment of "Oh Tennessee," the cascading acoustic guitar passage of simple
wisdom from father to son in "Numbers," or the smoky looking back at frst loves
in "Little Red Race Car," there's a knowing appreciation for how he got here.
In a voice sturdy as a retaining wall, Rice confesses, "I'm 38 now, and that's part
of it. I've journaled since I was 15 years old, but there's something about being
able to tell other people. I'm a deep person, but I don't know to show it in real life,
so I'm trying to do it in my music. For me, 'Go Down Singin''is everything about
where I am and what I want. I'm starting to see myself as who I want to be, not
who I thought I should be. That's a good start. And I think a lot of men struggle
with this stuff, too."
Getting honest, digging down, Rice shifted his approach. Working with Oscar
Charles (Boy Named Banjo, Madeline Edwards, E lvie Shane), the pair worked to
create a sound that was as honest, as real instrument grounded as the songs that
were emerging. Written largely on guitars and piano, Go Down Singin' showed a
man reckoning with growing up.
