<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">Even though <i>Good Graces</i> is unequivocally his vision, Rice wasn't entirely alone. Over the course of seven days, he tracked the album alongside
<b>Dawes</b> bassist <b>Wiley Gelber</b> and longtime drummer <b>Jason Boesel </b>
at engineer <b>Pierre de Reeder's</b> Kingsize North Studio in North Hollywood. Rice handled most of the production and guitar duties with contributions from frequent collaborator and friend
<b>Farmer Dave Scher</b>. Rice's long-standing obsession with the female voice is further explored throughout
<i>Good Graces</i> - the record features vocal contributions from <b>Z Berg </b>as well as
<b>Jenny Lewis and</b> <b>the Watson Twins. </b></span></p>

album <b><i>Trouble Is Real</i> </b>was released four years later, and he'd formally arrived. He has toured the world as a headlining artist and also supported
