Chris Rice Moves Mainstream


Chris Rice moves mainstream. Opens this fall for Sara Groves and Jars of Clay

Chris Rice is perhaps best known for vivid Christian hits like "I'm Smellin' Coffee", "Untitled Hymn", and "Deep Enough to Dream" (my favorites). Gotta love this--you'll only find it here...a Chris Rice computerized jigsaw puzzle? Yup. You said it. For those competitive souls. Post your times here.


Anyway...Chris's new CD "AMUSING", aimed at targeting a more mainstream audience, will be released on August 23.

Apparently, for you guitar enthusiastics, there are special guest appearances on the CD by Duane Eddy...

Perhaps the most successful instrumental rocker of his time, he may have also been the man most responsible (along with Chuck Berry) for popularizing the electric rock guitar. His distinctively low, twangy riffs could be heard on no less than 15 Top Forty hits between 1958 and 1963. He was also one of the first rock stars to successfully crack the LP market. (More)

4:26 on the Chris Rice puzzle. Whoo-hoo!

The first single off of Chris' new CD is pretty good. First new song he has had in quite a while. Never knew there were so many slang sayings for 'crazy.'

As for me "that brain I ordered hasn't come in yet."
