There's no mistaking Jerry Riopelle's distinctive brand of hard driving roots rock. Riopelle's music is a late-night joy ride down a hot desert highway, and to enjoy it to its fullest, you'd better roll down the windows and turn it up!
Riopelle's music reflects a genuine lyrical honesty with heavy doses of rhythm and blues, rock and country flavored with a unique mix of jazz and reggae sounds. Riopelle is an artist whose work, both in the studio and on the stage, has always refused to be categorized. His natural ability to draw from different contemporary styles while utilizing wide ranging instrumental ideas and rhythmic variations gives the Riopelle sound a very distinct character.
This 4 CD anthology collection, "The Works / 1970-2000" spans 30 years of Riopelle's career as a solo artist.
While listening to this music, you can be sure of one thing: Riopelle and his band have ALWAYS delivered the goods.

Jerry Riopelle/The Works

Very high quality production and for those Ex-Pat Arizonans like me who have been trying for some time to find a way to re-access this artist in a modern medium, this really is the way to go and worth the price.

Jerry Riopelle / The Works
author: Zeke
Back in 1975 (in Mn) I was listening to some talented Southwest song writters like Guy Clark "Old No. 1" and Jerry Jeff Walker "Viva Terlingua" when a friend put on Jerry Riopelle "Take a Chance" and told me I'd like it. Well, it turned out to be one of my favorites and I really missed hearing the record when CD's took over my music libary. Now I have it again and it was worth $50 just to get "Take a Chance", the rest are just all a bonus for me. A great era of music history lives on once again with "The Works".

riopelle in the round
author: david
having attended over 10 of Jerry's new years eve shows at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, I was unfortunate to miss the brief release of his "in the round" recording nearly a decade ago. When I heard he was re-releasing it, well, anyone who went to even a couple of those shows understands the nostalgic value of his performances there. As to a review of the CD itself - it was well worth the wait! In fact, I've NEVER written a review of anything I've bought, ever! But this was a no-brainer for me. To the rest of the minions, all I can say is.......GO GET IT!

THE WORKS & IN THE ROUND
author: Julie Wildermuth
YAHOO…. A long time in coming, but definitely worth the wait! Some cuts from "In The Round" would have been nice for those of us who spent many New Years Eves at the Celebrity from 74 to the 80’s. I am Arizona Born and bred and have lived in Arizona for 50 years. How could you not LOVE JERRY RIOPELLE. Thanks Babe….
