Artist History "Out On The Highway, Gonna Have Me Some Fun...."-Rider Rock & Roll for the open highway is how David Thompson describes the music off the 2 CDs from the Redding, Calif. band 'RIDER'. With all songs written by David, both CDs feature the incredible instrumental and singing contributions from the cream of Redding's studio session players, all of whom are known locally for work in their own bands and on their own projects. With 2 CDs out, David continues to promote 'Rider' as an opening act for touring major name rock bands playing concerts in northern Calif. The first CD 'RIDER' got airplay 26 of 32 weeks (as of 6/27/97) on Z-ROCK, KRQR, 106.7 FM, Chico, CA. where they played all of the 12 tracks and one new song, "Call My Name!" The program, hosted by Dori Taylor and Johnny Kind, was called 'RAW CUTS" and was on 8 to 9PM, Sundays, playing only original north state music. The second CD 'RIDE ON' was 4 years in the making and was released 9/15/01 with 16 new songs that continue the 'RIDER' tradition of rock, blues, funk, science fiction, and even 2 songs in the country field. The CD also has alternate stylistic versions of several songs featuring different vocalists.
