Country music star Chase Rice has had quite the journey before turning 40, from being a college football athlete with NFL aspirations to a reality TV star and pit crew member for NASCAR. Now, Rice is dropping his seventh album, “Go Down Singin’,” and he believes it is his best work yet.

In a recent interview, Rice shared that this album is his favorite because it’s real, personal, showcases great songwriting, storytelling, and embodies the essence of country music. Despite facing challenges and setbacks in his past, Rice has persevered and developed into a successful singer-songwriter, constantly pushing himself to be the best version of himself.

Beyond his music career, Rice also enjoys the outdoor life, with plans for a tour in the spring of 2025 and time set aside for hunting, snowboarding, and writing songs. Reflecting on a challenging rucking adventure with bow hunter Cameron Hanes, Rice values the lessons learned from overcoming adversity and the importance of being both hardworking and intelligent in all aspects of life.

Maintaining a football mentality, Rice continues to prioritize his physical fitness, optimizing his body for his performances on stage. He acknowledges the differences in mindset between football and music but applies the same intensity and dedication to both crafts.

As a self-taught guitarist turned successful country music star, Rice’s journey is a testament to his unwavering dedication to his passion.
