Through the 1980s, Hot Rize's virtuosic brand of bluegrass combined eclectic progressivism with bedrock traditionalism, earning a following that extended well beyond the young quartet's home base of Boulder, Colorado. Though vocalist-mandolinist Tim O'Brien subsequently moved further beyond bluegrass convention as a solo artist, focusing more on his original material, the band's reunion concerts in the '90s remained popular affairs. This recording of a 1996 homecoming performance at the Boulder Theater finds the foursome in spirited form, with a generous selection of 20 cuts. From the spiritual call-and-response of "Keep Your Lamp Trimmed and Burning" and "Working on a Building" to Pete Wernick's banjo breakdown on "Empty Pocket Blues" to the Irish romp through "Colleen Malone," a signature tune for the group, the interplay has the feel of friends who plainly enjoy each other's musical company. The belated release also serves as a memorial to guitarist Charles Sawtelle, whose thoughtful, bluesy progressions give the music a unique dimension, and who died of leukemia in 1999. --Don McLeese

Hot Rize was one of the hardest working and most popular bluegrass bands of the '80's - and the most remarkable aspect of this concert is how tight and fresh they sound despite their layoff. One senses the compatibility and friendship of the boys in the band throughout. This one is definitely worth a listen - it'll stay on your player for a long time.
Hot Rize was somehow able to combine genuine love and respect for the traditional canon of Appalachian music, with a vital contemporary esthetic. To paraphrase another reviewer, they were somehow both contemporary and traditional -at the same time.
This miraculous recording (the tapes were lost for years!) captures the guys at the peak of their game, in front of their die hard Boulder fans. There are only a handful of bands ( Del McCoury Band, Rhonda Vincent and The Rage, Union Station, for examples) that can play as well as these guys. They seem to be so loose and relaxed, but beneath that, they were tight! rhythms as solid as a brick with soaring vocals and rocking , virtuoso picking.
If you know someone who has just heard "O, Brother..." (or "Down From the Mountain") and wants to hear more great bluegrass, I would steer them to this release. Or if you just want to blow away somebody who hasn't heard how great bluegrass can be, play this for them.
It's likely to capture the IBMA [International Bluegrass Music Association] award for either "Album of the Year" or "Recorded Event of the Year." And I'll bet that it's nominated for the Bluegrass Grammy.
It's that good.
Although Red Knuckles doesn't make an appearance, the band performs songs from all five of their studio albums on this hour-long CD. What a joyful tribute to one of my favorite bluegrass bands. As bassist Nick Forster says in his liner notes, "This is what we sounded like on a good night." If you're new to Hot Rize, this is a great place to start. If you own their other albums, you'll want this one too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
