CD ReviewsWhat john mayer would sound like if he was talented rocky balboa | Philadelphia, Pa USA | 12/15/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Johnathan Rice has the amazing capacity to write a pop (I know, I hate that word too) song that still somehow manages to come across as beautifully written and concise. Like his girlfriend, Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley, he can tell a story using a lyrical formula that makes the listener feel entirely captivated, as if you could be the one singing the songs. His gruff voice, nicotine stained and melodic, accents every song with a tinge of suffering and testoserone, which is highly needed when writing a lyrically driven song. Extended Player is one of the best EP's I've heard from anyone in a long time. He manages to show his full future-superstar self in a matter of a few songs. Ignore the O.C. Soundtrack if you're jaded against pop culture like I am, ignore the constant ElleGirl magazine's features of him as 'hottie of the month' or whatever and just sit back and enjoy a really good album." Solid Ep with some lo fi touches alex bushman | Michigan | 07/29/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This EP establishes him as a true, young, singer-songwriter. His songs has substance and poetic resonance. Teeny-bopper magazines consider him to one of the most handsome new guys on the block, but who really cares unless you are one of them, and I'm not. His music is what I care about, it's strong and whimsical. Mr. Rice's voice is wispy and seasoned, like a hoarse John Mayer, but his music is far more adventurous and sophisticated. On "Stay At Home" he employs a children's choir and toy piano, while the song that kicks off the recording is like a sunny daydream. He makes the biggest artistic risk by recording "Put Me In Your Holy War" in such a lo-fi way that it suggests an ancient King Biscuit Flower Hour recording from the south. It's a risky thing to do because I'm sure it will catch some listeners off guard, but I like it." Nice debut Nathaniel Deas | Gainesville, Fl United States | 06/15/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "The six-song Extended Player 24:26 introduces the world to the brooding rasp of 21-year-old Johnathan Rice, a name that should be household after his future full length release, Trouble is Real.Personal and simple, the EP displays Rice's unpretentious role in today's music scene. With a voice like John Mayer and a soul like Van Morrison, Rice can appeal to teen girls as well as true music fans.Songs like "Break So Easy" and "The Acrobat" display the soft elegance of Rice's voice over acoustic guitar, while "My Mother's Son" and "Stay At Home" feature orchestral explosions that take the EP to the next level.Fans of Ryan Adams and Shawn Mullins should definitely give this youngster a listen, and if things go like they should, Johnathan Rice will be around for a while."
