4 out of 5 stars Welcome To The St. James Club=The Rippingtons.......2007-01-20

A good CD,, but not one of his better ones in my opinion. The music is relaxing and enjoyable to listen to, but nothing really sticks out! I have many of their CDs in my collection and this one will also certainly go into that collection. It a good one to mix it up if you have a carousel CD player!

5 out of 5 stars Your typical but above average Rippingtons release!.......2006-03-25

The Rippingtons 1990 outing entitled "Welcome To Saint James Club" is not much different from previous Rippingtons albums but it is still a very enjoyable CD with standout tracks like the opening title track, and "I Watched Her Walk Away" but the real gem for me is the second song entitled "Wednesday's Child" which begins with an optimistic opener before becoming a very sophisticated pop-jazz classic with amazing keyboard sounds. Most of the rest of this album is also very good but doesn't stand out the way "Wednesday's Child" does. Definately a recommended album and certainly a worthy introduction to these guys but "Moonlighting" remains my favorite Rippingtons album as of writing this review.

5 out of 5 stars Smooth Fused Jazz.......2005-04-15

I am definitely hooked on this CD. The keyboard sounds maybe a little outdated but sweet to the ears. "Welcome to the Saint James Club" (I first heard this song on the weather channel, no lie), "Affair in San Miguel" (hit rewind every time), and "Victoria's Secret" are my favorites. Check it out and you might want to rock the mullet (see inside cover and you will find out what I am talking about).

5 out of 5 stars (I Watch Her) Walk Away.......2003-04-24

This is my first Jazz CD. This is my favorite song. Whenever I want to relax I play this song. I have been a fan of The Rippingtons for 10 years now. I have a total of 6 CDs and want to collect all of them. I like all most all of their selections because it is not noise to the ear. Another favorite of mine is Who's Holding Her Now and Victoria's Secret. Very soothing and relaxing. I just love The Rippingtons!

5 out of 5 stars Get your reservation to St.JC now!.......2001-10-20

I've been a fan of the Rippingtons since their original release and they remain my favorite group. This, I believe, was and still is their best. Every song is great, especially the opening cut. Other than perhaps, Moonlighting, which has become a Jazz 'museum' classic not only for the music, but for the virtual 'who's who' list of musicians who went on to their own recording fame, Welcome to the St.JC is one that I recommend for anyone starting their Rippington's CD collection.
