In my experience, ride and break are synonymous, both meaning a solo. A turnaround is different, usually meaning a few bars (often 4, sometimes 2) at the end of a verse or chorus to lead you back to the start of the form (e.g., the start of the next verse).

In my experience a 'ride' is Jim's avatar. A bumpy one, maybe, but still a 'ride'.

In country music, this phrase is similar to or the same as the intro that was played at the beginning of the song.

Jukebox Charlie is a good example of what Lee said. Lloyd plays the whole shabang for the intro and after the 1st chorus. Then does an abbreviated version of the intro to get into the chorus, and another variation of that to end the tune after the 2nd chorus.

There are a lot of terrible sounding remixes of that tune out there. This one is good... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XsjmmRZMZM
