Chase Rice’s Newest Album – Go Down Singin’ – Out Now!
Go Down Singin' Has Arrived
Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice is proud to announce his latest independent release, Go Down Singin’.
What's interesting about this album is that it mirrors the cover art of his I Hate Cowboys album, which features an image of his late father holding two Coors Banquets. Rice recreated that photo himself for Go Down Singin’ to honor the man he dubded his childhood hero. Going deeper, the album could certainly be declared as a tribute to Chase's father. In regards to what his old man told him many years ago, “Boy, anyone can play guitar, but no one is gonna really listen to you until you start singing.”
Chase Goes Deeper
Audiences are definitely listening now. In Go Down Singin’, Rice's songs are more introspective, and philosophical even, but still retain a wild Americana passion. 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,” he continues. “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.”
“I’m a f-k up, and I know it,” he admits. “But I’m trying. I mean, my favorite story in the Bible is David, who sends his best friend off to war, so he can be with his friend’s wife… I was a lost kid who lost his Dad. I’m not alone. I know lots of people struggle, too. The last record dealt with that loss, and this one is about taking all that and becoming who you’re meant to be.”
A Fresh Collaboration
Rice collaborated for a second time with producer Oscar Charles and three-time Grammy winner Lori McKenna, who is also featured on the album. With Oscar, Chase created an honest sound that embodied a man's reckoning with growing up.
In regards to Lori's true-blue Americana sound, Chase commented “I wanted to bring her a song I had started that was the story of moving to Nashville, getting anything you wanted and losing it all,” regarding “Oh Tennessee,” one of their four cowrites on the album. “I knew she would understand, and from there, well, we had so much to say.”
