5.0 out of 5 stars Drive.............., October 13, 2002

Former Rippington member Jeff Kashiwa is certainly making an impression as a solo artist. Why not Russ Freeman? This CD showcases his solo efforts and you won't be disappointed! At least I wasn't. With or without the backing of his original group, Russ Freeman still has the goods! I know a lot of loyal followers will probably say, "This CD doesn't even come close to any of the Rippingtons recordings." Hey, what can I say? Things change, and in this case, change has never sounded so sweet. Personally, I like this CD. Yes, it's a different sound than what I'm use to hearing, but I'm enjoying it! Electric or Acoustic, Russ can hold his own with the likes of Peter White, Norman Brown, Jeff Golub, Chuck Loeb, and Lee Ritenour and he proves it on this CD! If you don't believe me, just listen to a couple of samples. Got cash? Get the CD.:P

This review is from: Drive (Audio CD)

Currently Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons are suffering from a lack of fantasy,creativity,synergy and that shows in their latest CDs.
What are you doing,Russ? Is Andi of any help?
I think that the major mistake is to produce TWO albums "Drive" and 'Let it ripp" which sound as two clones of the original beauty of the Rippingtons.
The result is that TWO CDS are very blunt,dull and poor.
Much better ONE CD only,but good,inspired and well crafted.
