Rice rides "Haw River"
Inspired by a chance encounter during a writing retreat in Wilmington, N.C. with Blake Pendergrass – who also served as Rice's writing partner on the recently released autobiographical title track – the song showcases his ability to weave narratives with an emotional core.
"We met a girl who said, 'I'm Kayla from Haw River,' and my ears just went up. Blake said, 'We should make that a murder ballad,' and we were off. Between the series 1923 about those priests beating up and raping Native American girls and our imaginations, it got pretty dark."
"Haw River" tells the story of a preacher who exploits his power, only to face retribution at the hands of one of his victims.
"Go Down Singin' is about where I am right now," Rice said of the Oscar Charles-produced project. "It's about taking everything I've been through, all the mistakes and the lessons learned, and turning them into something meaningful. This album is the most honest I've ever been, and I can't wait for people to hear it."

If you think you Chase Rice's "The Album" sounds familiar, that's because it was released earlier as two EPs. Aptly titled "The Album Part 1 and Part 2," he marries those 11 songs with three new songs and a collaboration with Florida Georgia Line. He showcases his songwriting skills with credits on nine tracks. The sum total feels like it was borne from the contemporary country playbook. Young love is in the air on unsubtly titled numbers like" Bedroom" ...
Chase Rice has embraced Nashville's new business model of releasing music more frequently. Rice's EP "The Album Part II" will combine with the surprise seven-song January release of "Part I." Rice said, "The Album Part II only has four songs, so it's really easy for people to go check out all four songs. They're all very different."
The issue with incrementally releasing music, especially in the EP format, is a lack of cohesion. ...
