"Drivin", was the first glimpse into what "Drive", was to bring forth from Richard Schroder. That first song turned single that was, was "Drivin", which lead to a couple of other tracks including "Backseat Love", and "Wildest Dreams", to get more of the feeling out and about to all to hear. As these threesome of tracks, kept the energy on high alert, the rest of the album would surely follow suit.

As it was an already great successor with these tracks alone, the rest of the album that is "Drive", brings more of that same appeal as these tracks had done for it. Lots of country, rock, and pop elements layered throughout. For if it was not for these elements then it would be not so great of an album to begin with really. These genre picking's are what make this album wholesome and unique.
Aside from the array of tracks picked from it already, the rest of the material is just as catching, including such tracks as "Stay", "Nashville Girl", "Right In The Middle", "Someone Else", and "One And The Same". These alone, are what sum up what the rest of this album has to offer it's listeners. That offering being tons of energy, upbeat tones with catchy rhythms, lots of momentum, with lots of angst thrown in. It is one of those releases that becomes fun and exciting to hear.

If Richard Schroder had to be thrown out to other artists or bands upon the country, rock, and pop scene currently, his styling brings to mind other acts, he has been thrown against countless times prior, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Blake Sheldon, and even Garth Brooks. While Richard sounds a lot like these acts, in terms of style and quality, these other artists have been around, and Richard has as well, but he is more of an up-and-comer that keeps coming up from the ground up with his source material.

These other artists have been around for greater times, knowing their skill like the back of their hand, while Richard's skills are building upon, it is shown in the singles mentioned before, as well as the rest of the material off this album. His skills are built upon, but that is where the music grows in maturity and in time consumption. Lots of growth and maturity can be heard within it, but again it is more of an up and comer release, still working itself outward for future works.

That is really how this release plays out. You get an up and comer that has got a lot to built upon, create, and form. While he does have a form built, he can make from it, creating much more greater material in terms of work and music creativity. His music is typical to a point of other artists, but that is how his style was taken into account, it is something that sounds a lot alike, but can be different too.

"Drive", is an album of sorts to do what it can, because that is what it is worth and what can be shown from it. Surely the next batch of material from Richard Schroder will be more well rounded to improving that growth and maturity as the artist that he is, which is himself.

"He's the real deal" says songwriter coach Steve Seskin, a colleague to Richard Schroder, a musician who demands a lot of himself. In fact, he would rather do things the hard way, than the easy way, he says by doing things the hard way, it must mean it's the right way. That said, "Drive", just so happens to be the current song turned single for the rocker behind the country.

Indeed Richard Schroder is a musician mixing things up with the genres that are rock and country, with this track in particular. The track kicks things off, with an automatic recognition of country flare, with the rock momentum added in later on for good measure. But how does it sound you ask. Well if the rock and country mix-up did not convince you, then the tone will do the trick.

As soon as this track starts off, you get hit with those noticeable tactics that most if not the typical country rock track, persuades with its listeners. You know the laid back, easy going energy, with upbeat tone, that you just know instantly that it is country music. The type of music you rather avoid then enjoy. Sorry to say it that way, but not many folk take a liking to this side of the music spectrum in terms  of rock country music or country rock music.

But in the case of Richard Schroder's "Drive", is more than just your regular or typical run of the mill track, it is much more unique and different. While it sounds like all the rest, there are some differences going for it. Like take the guitar rhytum, it plays off as this upbeat tempo, with bouncy energy that keeps it flowing right along to the tone of the music. Whereas the vocal chords, give off a similarity fashion to that of other country rock acts, like  Garth Brooks and Keith Urban for starters. Other acts that bring out a similar trait would have to be such acts as Tim McGraw and Blake Shelton if not many others, Richard tends to sound like.

That is it in terms of sound, style, and quality. As for the lyrical context, that is something else altogether. For the lyrics for this track, are true blue. They go into discussion about Richard wanting to get back home, from being out on the road, playing shows and touring, him longing for home so badly. He goes into greater detail about even seeing his loved one as he plays each night, as the time goes on by. It really collects into your thoughts, as you picture all of that going on, as this track plays right along to it.

It really is an embracive track, that captures the mind, heart, and soul, with its lyrics, and melodies of tone, in terms of the music. Richard just can play off it all, so well, and willingly it is hard to resist it at any point really. He has got this angst of pride and passion, that keeps that "Drive", of the track, and its accompanying album, of the same name, really cruising along.

In short, Richard Schroder's "Drive", is just a track you can enjoy, while it may have some similarities to other acts, out and about, this guy, just stands above them, creating something that is his own, done his way, the right way he sees it fit.
