CD Reviews

Derivative and disappointing
F. W. Burr | Prospect, KY | 08/16/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"The Ripps have done some great things in the past, but in this album, they are clearly coasting. The music is derivative, less horns, and frankly, disappointing. If it didn't have their name on the front, I wouldn't know whose music this was -- looks like they have gone for the money. This is the best elevator music I've heard in a long time, but it doesn't fit the definition of jazz in any way . . ."
The Rippington's 20th Anniversary

"This particular copy had the DVD disc missing. Got a new copy sent"
NOT a "return," but a tiny step in the right direction
Mike | San Jose, CA | 03/03/2007
(2 out of 5 stars)

"On the opener, Russ Freeman takes a more central role on guitar. However, the relentlessly honking horn section is right there with him. It has more of a "classic Rippingtons" feel than the faux-Santana tripe Russ has been peddling in recent years, but it's not all that memorable. "Celebrate" sounds like theme music for a bland daytime talk show...SASSY! (Probably not what Russ intended). "Costa Del Sol" is a Fourplay ripoff. Plain and simple. If I were Nathan East, I'd be phoning my attorney right now. "Bingo Jingo" is the second nod toward "classic Rippertons." Not bad...not the cure for cancer, but not bad. "Eternity" is a somnambulistic Flamenco number. "Six Four"...goes nowhere. "Rainbow"...everyone takes a solo, but so what? "Twenty"...NOTE TO RUSS FREEMAN: MORE tracks like this. This kind of song is what keeps the Ripps fans coming back. Buy this track on iTunes if you can. "Anything"...imagine the worst song Marvin Gaye ever recorded, with the Rippingtons as his backup band. "A Kiss Under The Moonlight"...pretty, nice. Another classic track. "20th Anniversary Bonus"...featuring a flaccid "I'll Be There." 2 excellent, solid tracks in a sea of dreck...which has become Russ Freeman's par for the course. What a shame."
