Freeride, the first solo disc from outstanding Swedish guitar virtuoso THOMAS LARSSON, is a landmark heavy guitar statement that digs deep into a bluesy 70's vibe with a modern approach rich with inspiration and influence.

Originally released on the prestigious Japanese guitar label ZERO RECORDS, THOMAS LARSSON recorded Freeride after recording two awesome discs and touring with the ever-amazing GLENN HUGHES (Deep Purple soul brother).

With the help of some of Sweden's finest musicians and the incredible vocal talents of GORAN EDMAN (who has recorded and toured with YNGWIE MALMSTEEN & MADISON) and produced and mixed by famed Swedish producer MATS LINDFORS, Freeride is the perfect showcase for THOMAS LARSSON and his world class brand of heavy guitar music. And as an added bonus, Swedish blues/rock guitar legend Clas Yngstrom (SKY HIGH) shows up for some incredible dual heavy guitar interplay with brother Thomas on the ripping "Bad Sign" jam.

Freeride features 11 trax of outstanding, blistering, intense, top-shelf retro-70's heavy guitar rock of the highest order that ranges from hard-assed grooved-out bluesy heavy riffage to classic mid-tempo bluesy heavy rock swagger to clean beautiful melodic ballads. Including four incredible INSTRUMENTAL GUITAR trax which showcase THOMAS LARSSON's vast talents on the guitar, Freeride is a well-rounded diverse musical trip of "pure heavy guitar beauty" which features a little something for everybody; highly recommended for people who dig REAL guitar music of the highest order.

THOMAS LARSSON is one of those rare guitarists who has the ability to combine incredible technique with feel, creating his own style and sound complete with strong material (SONGS) to match, and on Freeride he has achieved true greatness on the guitar, or TOTAL GUITAR as we like to call it at GROOVEYARD RECORDS.
