Hey, it's great to get this blast from that past -- I'm guessing about 40 years ago (1984?). That was us, honored to be included in David Holt's excellent show. Trivia Dept: A few typos in the song list, and the first song is actually called Going Across the Sea. And I'm from NY City originally, the Bronx to be exact, to answer an inquiry. Glad this got posted and yall like it!
That's a great 84 tape of the early band..great to Charles sawtelle play..love the 37 guitar..also watch the 40th anniversary..great music on the show with fiddle and dobro..love the whit.lineman song..love your banjo playing..always great with you and tim..rj
Love New Country, Fire on the Mountain, & Hot Rize. I bought several of their albums on cassette & wore them out. Pete Wernick, Nick Forster, Tim O'Brien, and Charles Sawtelle. Fine, Mighty Fine group
Tim Obrien. Was awesome. Display of singin.and mando playing..band was so tight..wernick.sounds great.and nick and Charles. Just a great guitar player..this is a hall of fame band.for bluegrass music forever..just as imp.as flatt and scruggs..scene band and monroe..hot rize left a mark and changed bluegrass music...rj
❤ Takes me back to my bluegrass days of the mid-80s. The band name Hot Rize and Pete Wernick ring a bell. I don’t recall the other names but they are all superb pickers and singers, and I see that have all had distinguished careers.
I saw every episode of Fire on the Mountain on TNN back in 1985. I remember this well. It was such a great program, filmed at the Stompin' Grounds in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. When they took it off the air, I was mad.
This isn’t the original Hot Rize lineup. Mike Scap was the original guitar player and Charles played bass. That being said, that configuration was pretty short lived.
At 3:55 Nick does a great head fake to avoid the banjo peg head. They had a perfect 4 piece sound. They were a forward thinking group that subtly changed the direction of traditional bluegrass, all while giving us some great future standards to enjoy.
@@lindseywalker6925 Nick Forster-bass, Tim O'Brien-mandolin, Pete Wernick-banjo, Charles Sawtelle-guitar. (After Charles passing, Bryan Sutton has held down guitar spot for the last few years)
@@PeteWernick that’s cool. I want to buy autographed picture of the group. I love hot Rize. I played them a lot when I hosted yesterday and today’s bluegrass WFGH 90.7 fort Gay WV public broadcasting
Nice banjo backup during vocals and solos. Most players nowadays blast straight through without backing off much at all and keep the banjo roll going. Very annoying and not dynamic.

Year after year..this band leads bluegrass music as one of the best.bands ever..tim obrien....rip Charles sawtelle..🎉
There’s nothing I don’t love about Hot Rize. One of the best ensembles ever. ❤
...except the 'lectric bass.
Agreed -- this lineup is outstanding !
Love these guys!

Apparently Tim Obrien was born with his singular style fully intact. A lifetime of musical experience and taste in a teenager's body.
...and a striking resemblance to Napolean Dynamite at this stage.
Lol... True dat.
Tim O'Brien, still one of the finest musicians alive. One of my favorites is Lamp lighting time on the valley.
Traditional Ties was me favorite cassette. I wore it out.
Delightful 🎉
The great Charles sawtelle.on his 37 Martin guitar..rj

Tim O'BRIAN: another West Virginia product
Nice
First use of Wah pedal with the banjo?
That’s a phase shifter
Can anyone please list band members? Thanks
Please look at the description of the video. Band members are listed
Dandy group. West Virginia meets Texas and Beirut Lebanon. I don’t know where the hell Wernick is from. I wish to hell someone would tell me.
I believe he is from New York.
@@melindadodson6370 I sure do thank ye.
The Bronx to be exact. And Nick didn't grow up in Beirut -- his family was there early on
but he grew up in the Hudson Valley in NY.

@@PeteWernick I used the live album Shady Grove song as my last song most days. Walk the way the wind blows was requested big time !!
