"The album kicks off strongly with a fine, roaring bit of resonator guitar matched by Rice's fine vocal depth before ripping through a range of emotions, slide-work and straight-on, full-tilt acoustic-driven blues music, with twists and turns featuring similarly impressive electric guitar. For those yet to discover this guy, Rice may well prove to be something of genuine surprise, and for lovers of steel and slide fretwork a positive pleasure ... Overall, this is an album well worth tracking down, guaranteed to be something of a pleasure for most blues lovers"
