Guitar Master Goes "SMOOTH"
Howard Riesel | Long Island, NY | 04/08/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"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."

"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!"
Marginally Good!

"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."
