Hot Rize - Classic Hot Rize [DVD]

Legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize released a DVD in 2006 featuring a classic performance by the band, including their 'set-witin-a-set' by their alter-ego Western Swing Band Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers.

The DVD captures a stellar 1987 performance with top-notch video and audio quality and the band at its best. The 57-minute program was a 'Lonesome Pine Special' for KET-TV, recorded live at the Kentucky Center for the Arts in Louisville, Kentucky.

The DVD includes 19 musical cuts plus interviews, and features the classic Hot Rize lineup with Tim O’Brien, Pete Wernick, Nick Forster, and the late Charles Sawtelle.

With impeccable musicianship, the band performs their signature bluegrass sound on tunes like Blue Night, Radio Boogie, Just Like You, and Won’t You Come and Sing For Me. Mid-show, they leave the stage to their back-of-the-bus traveling companions, Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers, who step lively through 'old electric' numbers like Deep Water and Pistol Packin' Mama.

Hot Rize reclaim the stage with hot instrumental finales of Shady Grove and Wheel Hoss.
