20th Anniversary

Search: Tourist- The
by: The Rippingtons

Release Date July 25, 2006
I became aware of the Rippingtons when I was traveling to Las Vegas on an audit assignment in 1992. The jazz station there played "Welcome to the St. James Club" on their morning show, and I actually called the radio station from my hotel (something I had never done in 35 years of listening to music). Since then I've stayed a Ripps fan through the band's various player changes and moves (LA to Rocky Mountains to Miami). The new album takes a look back with new music--the percussion on "Six Four" is reminiscent of "Kilimanjaro"--and the group continues to expand its appeal with its music. The compilation track is amazing, and brings together many of the musicians that developed the Rippingtons' sound when the band first began. The companion ... Read More:

Shotgun

Search: Tourist- The
by: Michael Beatty

Release Date November 21, 2000
What a delightful gem "Shotgun" is. The strongest track is the addictive title track with its driving rhythm, "Take it to the limit, take it downtown, rock it to the rhythm of the California sound." Not bad for a CD recorded in Massachusetts! The opener "Cold Heart" is also a musical banquet with its swaying midtempo rhythm, the unusual musical touches (an inebriated organ?) and Beatty's voice like a caress, "An angel without wings & a box of broken dreams, I never thought of growing old." "Accidental Tourist" is also a very sweet, gentle folk-flavored confection, "A million lights were shining underneath my plane like a million broken hearts that have been left out in the rain." On "Ghostlight" Beatty's piano-based melody does sound like ... Read More:

Release Date December 18, 1995
It's excellent. It has several kinds of tempos. The best song in the CD is Tracj numbre 4- Journey to the Island, you can heard it when the chopper arrives to the island Nublar, and when Hammond says Welcome, to Jurassic Park.
