"It is said that rice and beans can be found on the dinner plates from the President, the rich and famous to everyone else right down to the poorest of the poor. If there’s any justice in the world of music then the first CD by Rice’n’Beans should also be found on every iPod and music system in this land. Thought-provoking lyrics, haunting melodies and a simple but professional production mark an excellent first CD."
