Russ Freeman/The Rippingtons
« on: April 04, 2012, 05:59:51 PM »
Was Russ Freeman not in some of The Rippingtons songs? I thought he was the lead guitarist, but the reason I ask is because while most of The Rippington's album say "Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons," but some others such as 20th Anniversary and Wild Card say simply "The Rippingtons." :unsure:

Since you mention their 20th anniversary album it makes me think that perhaps newer releases of them from dont have the branding since they have had a lot of featured artists such as Eric Marienthal included :yes:

There's an interesting MD interview about the Rippington's on tonymorales.com website (original drummer).

"Wild Card" says "featuring Russ Freeman." The only ones that don't are "20th Anniversary" and "Moonlighting."

I have 2 of their CDs. "Tourist In Paradise", (1989) and Weekend In Monaco, (1992). I love the music on both!  :D

He also had his own solo album "Drive", which debuted in 2002.  I like the group's music, though. Of the classics, my favourites are "Sahara", followed by Moonlighting.

I have all 19 Rippingtons titles and Russ's solo works, also his material with David Benoit. To many favorites to mention though...

Where The Road Will Lead Us Now

You got that title wrong. There's no "now" on the end of the title. It's simply, "Where The Road Will Lead Us", which is track #9 on the album, "Weekend In Monaco".

There's also the Benoit/Freeman project. I remember hearing Palmetto Park back in 2004 and 2009 :yes:
