Wish the world away

"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".

"Ben Rice continues his steady climb to the heights of the blues world with this tasty collection, which includes 12 blues and roots infused originals and one cover ... Ben enjoys a strong roots heritage, combining electric and Delta blues with soul, funk, rockabilly and jazz in the mix here ... Wish The World Away isn't your grandfather's blues. But if you like great guitar work and new tunes that are both fresh and original with a deeply rooted traditional feel, this one's definitely for you".
