Top Ten Albums of 2013 - #5 Chase Rice - Ready, Set, Roll

#5
Chase Rice
Ready, Set, Roll

I hadn’t heard of Chase Rice when I wrote And Then You Fall, if I had, a couple things might have happened. I might not have named the band in the book CB Rice, I might not have named the main character Ben Rice, or maybe instead of using GB Leighton’s lyrics, I would’ve used Chase Rice’s. 

This is another musician I discovered, but don’t remember where or how. I saw him live a couple of weeks ago, at the Grizzly Rose. Sadly they have a strict 18 and over policy, so Frank couldn’t go with me, but happily, I got to hang with my dear friend Sherri for a girls’ night. Seeing Chase Rice is girls’ night worthy, of that I can assure you.

I had a VIP pass for this concert so I got to meet Chase. He was gracious and gentlemanly, like a typical country boy. He isn’t unpleasant to look at either. I gave him a copy of the book, and warned him that it was steamy. 

He asked, "Fifty Shades steamy?"
"No," I answered. "Cowboy steamy."
He nodded his head as though he understood.

This is a fun EP. Ready, Set Roll, Country in Ya (swoon), How She Rolls, Look at My Truck . . . all made my skiing playlist. The requirement to make that playlist is the song makes me happy as I fly down the hill. 

Chase was one of the writers of Florida Georgia Line’s Cruise. He’s another one I expect to see a lot more of in the next few years. He’s also another one I follow on Twitter, and he never fails to make me smile.
