Classic Hot Rize with
Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers
You can't go back, but a
nostalgic trip down the road you've traveled will be a foregone conclusion
while watching this DVD of a performance of Hot Rize and their alter egos,
Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers recorded live on July 28, 1987. The bands
were filmed at the Kentucky Center for the Arts in Louisville, KY.
Hot Rize was a seminal gathering of world class urban Bluegrass musicians
who at the time of this recording were near the top of their game and
arguably the most popular Bluegrass band in the country. The trail they
blazed has since been traveled by such groups as Alison Krauss and Union
Station, Nickel Creek and Blue Highway among others. With a total of 19
songs offered by Hot Rize and Red Knuckles and interviews with Tim and Red,
this DVD will delight all of us Hot Rize/Red Knuckles fans and fill in a
void for those who never had the pleasure of enjoying their music.
