Press
"This is excellent songwriter material served straight-up. One voice, one guitar, recorded live…Rice has given listeners a predominately up tempo record of honest, raw emotion…The warm timbre of his voice is smoky and rich…this Louisville, KY based writer understands the importance of a simple phrase sung well."

"Rice's honesty and vocal inflections make it clear he feels every single word on his album; consequently, so does the listener. "

"I get dozens of demos and CD's in the mail weekly…This disc grabbed my attention in a big way. The simplicity is what makes it so perfect. I would recommend this disc to anybody."

"…a strong presence on Louisville's original-music scene as a
solo acoustic performer. His angst-prone songs, many of which
center on love that is troubled, lost, or otherwise screwed up, are
naturals for such intimate conditions."

"This album is living proof that some of the best music out there
today is not coming from the big monolithic mega-labels, but instead
from the smaller independent labels like ear X-tacy…Butch Rice is the real thing.
Do yourself some good and buy this CD."
