oh no not again.......2005-11-07

between ritchie blackmore going mideival and rick derringer going elevator music i am about to rip my hair out! it's not that this isn't well done because it is but what is the point. these are songs that could be done just as well by any studio jazz musician. rick you need to ask your wife for your manhood back and start running your own career again, remember it's rock and blues that made your reputation my friend. quit crapping on your fans!

Guitar Master Goes "SMOOTH".......2004-04-08

I first heard Free Ride on WQCD-FM in NY and instantly loved
"Jazzy Koo". Superb playing from a guitar great. I just bought Free Ride, and it is a fantastic disc. I am a guitar player and
smooth jazz guitar fanatic. Free Ride is a testimony to Rick's
expert playing/arranging. The solo on "Good 2 Go" is outstanding.
This is one disc I just keep playing over and over.
"Free Ride" and "Hot & Cool" are a few of my favorite tracks.

Marginally Good!.......2004-01-12

This is a good CD if you are new to smooth jazz.It really doesn't measure up to "real" smooth jazz works but it gets an A for effort.

Smoooooth.......2003-10-01

This is a mellow, nice collection of songs. We recommend it. Karen and Randy

Super Smooth Jazz CD by a legendary Guitar Player!.......2003-02-17

Just to bring you up to date for those that don't know the whole story behind Rick Derringer - He's been playing music professionally for over 40 years. Remember the song Hang On Sloopy by the McCoys? The song that bumped "Yesterday" by the Beatles of the U.S. charts. That's Rick. Remember Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo in the 70's? Remeber those great rock albums by Edgar Winter (hit songs: Free Ride/Frankenstein), those certified gold albums by Johnny Winter? Thanks Rick. Player and producer. Rick also has played and or produced with the likes of Kiss, Air Supply, Cyndi Lauper, Weird Al, Barbara Striesand, Meat Loaf, Steely Dan, Alice Cooper - the list goes on.

So here we are in the 5th decade of music from this master. Check out Rick's venture into Smooth Jazz. Guitar lovers should really dig this! Hot & Cool is the second single from Free Ride. Original, funky,, great guitar playing.

The fire keeps burning for this guy. Check it out!
