"Free Ride" is a song written by Dan Hartman and performed by The Edgar Winter Group. The single, engineered by Jim Reeves, was a top 20 U.S. hit in 1973, hitting number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. The single 45 version is distinctly different from the LP version. The 45 version contains a significantly brighter guitar track (that opens the song only on the left channel), added harmonics, a fuzz bass added to the bridge, and other changes that contrast sharply with the "dry" LP mix. Most classic rock radio stations play the LP version, and the original 45 mix is much less commonly available online. Both versions clock in at virtually the same length because each was based on the same core "take" and re-mixed with different tracks to the fore as well as added enhancements to the single. Tavares recorded a version of the song for their 1975 album, ''In the City''. Their version would peak at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #8 on the Hot Soul Singles chart. Audio Adrenaline recorded a version of the song for their 1996 album, ''Bloom''. Hartman himself re-recorded the song and released it in 1979 on the album ''Relight My Fire''. ==Appearances== The song was featured in the opening scenes of the 1990 movie ''Air America'' and in the 1995 film ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie''. It was later used in ''The Drew Carey Show'' episode "The Dog and Pony Show". The song also appears in the video games Prey, MLB 11: The Show, Cars: The Videogame, and Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned. The song is featured in the 1993 film, ''Dazed and Confused''.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/soundtrack?ref_=tt_trv_snd〕 The song is on ''Rock Band 3'' as downloadable content along with "Frankenstein". It also appears in the main setlist of ''Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock''.
