Hot Rize - Shadows in my Room

[JimmyDeLocke]

These guys were the COOLEST. I lived in CO and actually heard 'em at the Niwot Grange Hall! Pete's playing thru some kind of flanger -- "New York Rhythm" It's really great to see Tim and Nick so YOUNG -- where does the time go?

[vcp430]

How did Pete make his banjo sound like that?

[tangograss]

@vcp430 running the mic through a device called a Phaser. Much more popular with Rock guitarists then Banjoists...but pete pulls it off!

[jm1072]

Pete RULES!

[Judplay]

I agree with the comment below regarding Tim O'Brien. When he's interviewed, like at a song writer's workshop, you see how much he understands this music and cares about it. You may know he's hardly a "country" type of guy, and he's not like a lot of professional musicians. He's bombarded with praise by fans, and yet, he seems totally unaffected by it.

[sparkybluefox]

Awesome!

[bjosh37]

is that Jerry Douglas with a mullett??

[brodank]

AT LEAST YOU GOT TO SEE THEM LIVE!!

[Krillinthewarrior]

[awsonja1955]

Great band but gotta love that hot Rise

[silkypuss68]

That is why Jerry is the best!

[arrowstar71]

Clark: Here's what I've always loved about Sawtells playing... Its HIS very own sound. It had a very "real" feel that made it so appealing. He was able to project a very honest and pure tone from his guitar. Not flashy and to the point. RIP

[heavy7]

I respect Sawtell's ability and style but I can understand why some people do not like what he plays. It is just a matter of personal preference.

[CorbettFamily08]

@heavy7 - heavy I understand what you mean by your comment but please also understand that Charles style was by choice only, if you were ever around charles you understood that he was a very talented player who could span many styles but with Hot Rize taking on that Retro-Grass feel he chose to take breaks in the old Clarence Green style of flat-picking. At a time when every one was "Rice-ing" their licks, Charles was taking a different direction on purpose.

[clarktunes]

I am not trying to be mean or anything, but can someone tell me what is so hot about Charles Sawtell's playing? I mean it seems to me that he butchers this break? Am I missing something? Again, I am not trying to be mean, I just don't get what is so special about his playing.

[astrochicken]

You probably don't get clarence white either?

[crazycuntryboy2]

The effects on the banjo sounds cool! Awesome banD!

[bcbrownboy]

Hot Rize = hottest BG nowadays.

[bluegrasswoman]

YES Get on it boys I love Hot Rize♥ Long live Bluegrass♥

[jedmarum]

Woo Hoo!

Great video. Thanks for posting!

[gingermc2]

Great picking & singing.

[UkuleleIgor]

Great stuff!! ***** from Igor

[banjobilly32]

Great band, and a nice tune. I guess we purists resist the electronic amplification of our acoustic instruments. Might just as well have a steel guitar as the banjo here!

[KeithWhitleyFan]

TOUCHEE MY FRIEND!

[sav1028]

Gotta love Flux with the mullet and 'stache! They all look so young, too!

[8STRINGR]

Thank You Very Much for posting this video! This is probably my favorite tune by Hot Rize! Been looking for this for quite a while.

[owl4man]

Peace prosper people planet now.

[GrassMark]

Excellent.....luv it.!.!

[wtbowden]

Wonderful! 5 stars!

[laz5150]

Hot Rize with Jerry Douglas.Yes!!!

[5041carol]

What's not to like about Hot Rise? Love their Radio Boogie album.

[02x9]

In the beginning, it sounds like the banjo has some type of chorus effect attached to it.

[highonbluegrass]

It might be true...Pete Wernick liked to run the banjo through a phase shifter. I don't understand why people are giving this comment a thumbs down though?
