专辑简介

Strongly lyrically based, with a musical fusion of country/pop-rock/and hiphop... there is a little something for everyone in the music of the South Carolina native, and Nashville-based singer/songwriter, Jesse Rice. "When one grows up in the South, you have a variety of music at the fingertips", says Rice. "To me, there is no region in the country where the music is as formative and diverse. It's the blues of Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson, it's the southern rock of Lynard Skynard and Marshall Tucker, singer/songwriters such as James Taylor, and country like Johnny Cash or bluegrass like Bill Monroe, its hiphop like Outkast and on and on." It is in this setting that Rice's appetite for musical diversity began, and as he grew as a writer and performer, took a bit of all of these as he went. And so today, his music comes at you from all angles and genres- it is his wish that everybody that listens will like a piece of something "I always wanted make an album in which there could be a songs that relate to everybody, something that could be eclectic and diverse stylistically", Rice says. And here it is, in his debut effort, "Words for the Wasted", a spirited album which finds Rice creating his wish song by song. It is a unique album for all listeners, simply for the fact that no song sounds the same. And thus, it is a great album for the modern music fan...for someone who likes a bit of everything- "Words for the Wasted" is for you!
