Chase Rice surprises release of “Fireside Sessions”

The new release features live single-take recordings of songs from two albums

With both, Chase Rice returned to his original roots as a songwriter I hate cowboys and all dogs go to hell And Go down and sing. Now he supports this idea with his surprise Fireside sessions Album containing all 25 songs from both records as live single-take versions with co-writers such as Lori McKenna, Jackson Dean, Hunter Phelps, Randy Montana and others as featured artists.

“The cool thing about tonight and why we put this together is that I hate cowboys record and the Go down and sing Record was the beginning of a completely new part of my life and career. It was no longer about chasing what was popular; Ultimately it was just about writing songs that were close to my heart, writing them on guitar – and that’s how I started writing songs – and then Oscar Charles co-produced the last two albums. “We wanted to wrap this all up by getting together tonight,” Rice shared as he introduced the surprise project during its debut at Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café with a special author panel featuring Charles and his colleagues Blake Pendergrass, John Byron and Jonathan Sherwood. “We’re going to release the Fireside Sessions album tonight, which features all of these songwriters and the songwriters from both albums, and we’re all just going to play guitar like you see tonight, and that will be the conclusion of this chapter.” .”

The cover images of all previous albums are compiled Fireside sessions The album cover reunites Rice and his late father as grown men for the first time and brings to life the lyrics of album closer “You In ’85,” which Rice describes as the overarching theme of this multi-album musical chapter: “So if I could have one us: man against man / a few Coors banquets in hand”

In paying homage to his father, Rice’s vulnerable approach directly impacted his musical shift toward stripped-back authenticity, while lyrically he grappled with that loss and how it affected him as a man and artist. Recorded around the fire on his farm outside of Nashville in the style of Music City’s famous writers’ rounds. Fireside sessions is the culmination of this multi-album tribute while looking at new music that covers other themes already in the works.
