TIM O'BRIEN is one of the icons of bluegrass and roots music. As the founding member of HOT RIZE, he has recorded with everyone from Garth Brooks to Jerry Douglas. He is a master of Bluegrass, American folk, Irish and Scottish music. Tim has a brand new album called “Cup of Sugar.“ WOOD BOX HEROES is a new bluegrass group made up of some major bluegrass heavy hitters. The band is based around the songs and singing of guitarist Josh Martin, with Seth Taylor on mandolin, Matt Menefee on banjo, Jenee Fleenor on fiddle, and Barry Bales (Alison Krauss and Union Station) on bass. WoodSongs Kid: Arizona Wildflowers is a band comprised of brothers and sisters from Southern Arizona.

St Patrick's Day has just been celebrated the world over. And there's a lot of the Irish in bluegrass music. I searched my collection to come up with songs that give a nod to our Irish heritage, and have featured some songs and tunes in this episode. There's also some ‘regular' bluegrass too, of course, and you'll hear from Dale Anne Bradley, Hot Rize, the Hamilton County Bluegrass Band, Bill Monroe, J D Crowe, Tony Ellis and others.

What connects you to the year 1946? Think of the time immediately following World War II, and perhaps black and white images of men in fedoras and women in long dresses come to mind. Maybe you have parents or grandparents who were born around that time, or maybe you know someone who lived then and has past on. It is an era that now seems quite distant for most of us, a kind of abstraction that can be read about but which remains present only in its dusty tomes and mono records. But like all eras of our past, the time when bluegrass music was born remains with us in tangible, even impactful ways. In 1946, Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys recorded their first songs with new members Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, and a new genre of music was born. Born that same year in New York City was Pete Wernick, who came to know all of the Blue Grass Boys as well as most if not all of the other first-generation stars, and played with many of them eventually as well. He remains one of the few people today who embodies a direct link to this era, making it leap from the pages of history across the decades and get us tapping our feet to bluegrass music that is still being born.

LISTEN: Brett Kretzer grew up in Maryland and lived in a few East Coast states before moving to Colorado.He's been playing music since he was six when his mother forced him to take piano lessons. While he gave up after about a year, he decided at the age of nine that he wanted to learn the guitar. When his brother became interested in playing the guitar as well (thanks to his interest in Kretzer's lessons), Kretzer learned the drums so that the two could play together. They both started various bands in middle and high school, transitioning from rock to more hardcore music like punk and finally to metal.After college, Kretzer also fell into the world of bluegrass. He started learning the mandolin when he was about 21, and he's been playing bluegrass ever since.He remembers Led Zeppelin as the first band that had a major influence on him, as well as The Beatles and bluegrass influences such as Del McCoury, Hot Rize, and The Punch Brothers.He loves it when the crowd is attentive and invested in the music, as everyone involved can forget about everything but the music for a little bit. Recently, he's loved arranging public-domain bluegrass songs more than writing them from scratch, and he also teaches mandolin and some guitar.Scott Slay has also been performing for a large chunk of his life. Starting from the age of eight, he learned and played bluegrass music in bands with his father, Tracy. Because he lived in a Navy town, musicians came and went constantly, so the lineup of his father's band changed consistently as well.He says that many factors contributed to his ultimate success, including always learning new songs (or even old songs in new ways), primarily learning them by ear and feel (sometimes because he was so tired in the evenings he would play he could barely keep his eyes open). He is also inspired to travel by the musicians he met along the way.Slay says that through this process and constant dedication to the craft of music, he learned bluegrass like someone would learn their home language. He loves collaborating through composing, arranging, or interpreting various bluegrass pieces, and he constantly adds something new to his musical repertoire to keep himself interested. Currently, he plays with the bluegrass band SLAY, and in 2019, he released the album The Rail under his name, collaborating with various other bluegrass peers.You can see Kretzer and Slay perform at Eldora, 2861 Eldora Ski Road in Nederland, as part of the Fireside in Timbers Lodge series, on Saturday, February 10, 2024, at 1 p.m. Thank you for listening to The Mountain-Ear podcast featuring the news and culture from peak to peak.SUBSCRIBE ONLINE and use the COUPON CODE PODCAST FOR A 10% Discount for ALL NEW SUBSCRIBERS https://www.themtnear.com/subscribe/ You can find us online by visiting https://www.themtnear.com/Find us on Facebook @mtnearYou can contact our editor at info@themountainear.com.Thank you for listening.

Tim O'Brien is one of Bluegrass' beloved players, from his work with the innovative Hot Rize to his yearly appearances at The Telluride Bluegrass Festival. He's just released his first album of all original material, which is something to be said for his 50 year career. At 69 years old, it's no surprise that the theme of aging pops up on quite a few of his new songs. He opens up about his perspective on aging and what it has looked for his predecessors in Bluegrass. He reflects on his history, from choosing Colorado to over New York or L.A. to being very aware of how hard it was for his sister, Mollie O'Brien, to have a solo career and be a parent.Nicknamed Red, Tim O'Brien serves as hero and mentor to many of today's finest players in the genre including Sarah Jarosz and Chris Thile. He recognizes the importance of allowing younger generations to step into the spotlight, while still being ready to honor his own Bluegrass heroes. In our conversation, Tim gets into things he's noticed changing for the better in his scene and also talks about how technology is both a good and challenging thing. For instance, In-ear monitors are great, HOWEVER, they really isolate the players instead of really feeling like they are playing together.

Tim O'Brien has always been one of my biggest influences. I love his voice, his playing, and his writing. His album Red On Blonde was his tribute to Bob Dylan and it scored him a Grammy Nomination. As a member of the legendary bluegrass band Hot Rize he spent the 80's traveling and playing, honing his craft. His record Fiddlers Green is one of my favorites. I was humbled when he agreed to join me for the happy hour and the show was a career highlight for me.

We kick-off with an old-timer from the HCBB, then straightaway we're into Bill Emerson & Sweet Dixie, Hot Rize, Flatt & Scruggs, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, and Bluegrass Parkway from Australia. A couple of gems from Merle Haggard's recordings of Jimmie Rodgers' songs, rounded out with the Country Gentlemen, Flatt Lonesome and Curly Seckler. And what could be better than a fiddle-and-banjo tune from Bill Evans & Fletcher Bright to take us out?

There's a great deal of variety in bluegrass music, as this episode will demonstrate. From the ‘straight ahead' classic sound of Dan Tyminski, Hot Rize to the Flatt & Scruggs sound of The Earls Of Leicester; from the banjo-and-ballad music from Bill Keith to the emotive vocals of Laurie Lewis; the ‘family' sound of the Bluegrass Martins to the plaintive sound of Emmy Lou Harris, there's lots to enjoy in this show.

We talk with Tim O'Brien about his work with Hot Rize, and other collaborations. And we get him to tell us some stories about his newest album.

This week we are presenting the second part of the interviews that were conducted with Charles Sawtelle in 1997.  At the beginning we continue to ask Charles questions about his background and work with Hot Rize.  Then, for the remainder of the interview we will get into more technical questions about sound reinforcement and guitar playing.

This week we are presenting part one of a two part series of archived interviews with Hot Rize guitarist Charles Sawtelle.  These interviews were conducted in 1997 in preparation for the writing and publishing of a book titled The Bluegrass Guitar Style of Charles Sawtelle.  Saddly, Charles lost his battle with leukemia in March of 1999.

Flatt Lonesome, Hot Rize, Billy Strings, David Parmley and Tom Rozum are among the artists selected for this programme. Great variety of bluegrass styles, all playing top music.

Episode 175: Tim O'Brien is one of several roots music icons who've circled back for a second visit to The String in recent weeks, and that's a great thing. His band Hot Rize dominated bluegrass in the 1980s and since the 90s he's been a dynamo of songwriting, ensemble playing, recording and collaborating. The latest project He Walked On finds Tim reflecting on the accelerated, unnerving world unfolding out his window during the pandemic with his signature mix of old-time tradition and contemporary songwriter sensibility. Also, an introduction to Nashville bass player Geoff Saunders, an academy trained jazz artist and composer out with his debut as a band leader. 

I've selected a couple of vinyl albums from the early 1970's, as well as some great music from the likes of Ricky Skaggs, the Cox Family, Grasstowne and Hot Rize. Something for all tastes.

Looking forward to taking off your mask at work when the Golden State reopens on June 15th? New Cal/OSHA rules may not let that happen just yet. On the bright side, extended pandemic rules mean we can all take our drinks to-go until the end of the year. More details on tonight's California Report. After a look at entertainment, news and weather, Felton Pruitt talks with Pete Wernick, legendary banjo player and founding member of Hot Rize.

Pete Wernick, legendary banjo player and founding member of Hot Rize gives us the history of the band and talks about the Bluegrass Jam Camps he puts on.

Our podcast interview this week features bluegrass guitar master Bryan Sutton.  Bryan first came to be well known in bluegrass as a member of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder and has since gone on to perform and record with a very long list of bluegrass and country artists.  He is a member of Hot Rize and has toured with his own band.  He continues to keep busy with recording sessions in Nashville.  We talk to Bryan about his relationship with Tony Rice, his work with the Artist Works instructional site, and some of his plans for the future.

The Lonesome River Band, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, and some favourites such as Hot Rize, Doyle Lawson & Patty Loveless.

This podcast features Tim O'Brien.  Tim's skills as a singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter will be familiar to anyone who has followed bluegrass music.  An original member of the band Hot Rize, Tim has also released many projects under his own name, led several configurations of his own band, partnered to record and tour with multiple well-known musicians, such as Darrell Scott, and he has written dozens of well-known songs that he and other bands have recorded.  

El pasado 9 de Octubre se cumplía el 80º aniversario del nacimiento de John Lennon y por ello dedicamos nuestro programa a escuchar varias de sus composiciones en las voces de músicos incluidos en el gran paraguas de la Americana. El próximo martes será obligado recordar que 40 años atrás un loco asesino que no merece ni tan siquiera que se recuerde su nombre nos privó de su presencia a las puertas del edificio Dakota de Nueva York. Por eso, hoy nos adelantamos a esa fecha para recordar cómo los más significativos músicos de Americana han mirado en alguna ocasión las canciones que John Lennon creó para formar parte de la discografía de los Beatles.  El cuarteto de Liverpool grabó “One After 909” en su concierto de la terraza y esa versión en directo fue la que se incluyó en el álbum original. Era un tema de Lennon que compuso con 17 años y hacía referencia a un número, el 9, que parecía perseguirle. Nació el 9 de octubre y por entonces vivía en el 9 de Newcastle Road. Por entonces se escuchaban varias canciones que hablaban de trenes de carga como "Rock Island Line" o “Midnight Special” y John y PaulMcCartney decidieron ponerla un ritmo similar. El cuarteto llegó a grabar la canción en la primavera de 1963, durante las sesiones de "From Me to You" y "Thank You Girl”, que conformaron su tercer single, pero el resultado no les convenció y la desestimaron. Willie Nelson quiso homenajear al grupo con su propia versión. Los más veteranos artistas de country también han tenido un momento en su carrera para rememorar alguna canción de los Beatles. Kris Kristofferson también echó una mirada a los Fab 4 para versionar una canción claramente compuesta por John Lennon como fue “Paperback Writer” haciendo referencia a su faceta de escritor. Sería grabada por los Beatles cuando trabajaban en 1966 en Revolver, y aunque se editó en single en su momento, quedó fuera de sus álbumes oficiales. Se acaban de cumplir 55 años de la salida al mercado de Rubber Soul, uno de los discos más determinantes de la discografía de los Beatles y en el que las canciones de John Lennon tuvieron una significación relevante. Aquel trabajo lo cerraba “Run For Your Life”, que fue, por el contrario, la primera canción que grabaron para el disco. Para componer aquel tema sobre los celos con tonalidades de country, Lennon se basó en Elvis y su "Baby Let's Play House", utilizando incluso una frase completa de aquella canción de El Rey. John Cowan, una de las voces más potentes de la Americana, firmó en 2014 por el sello Compass para afrontar un proyecto que tituló Sixty, producido por su buen amigo y compañero de los Doobie Brothers, John McFee, y en el que pudimos encontrar una lista interminable de selectos invitados, desde Leon Russell, Alison Krauss y Rodney Crowell, hasta Bernie Leadon, Sam Bush o Chris Hillman, pasando por Huey Lewis, Bonnie Bramlett, Ray Benson y varios más. Su versión de “Run For Your Life” se convirtió en uno de los cortes de bonificación de la edición de lujo de Sixty, donde el artista de Ohio exhibió su poderío vocal. En Rubber Soul John Lennon compuso cuatro temas de forma independiente y otros tantos McCartney. También fueron cuatro en los que la pareja colaboró conjuntamente y dos los firmó George Harrison. “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)” pasó a ser la primera canción de rock en la que aparecía un sitar y, como todo aquel álbum Rubber Soul al que pertenecía, marcó en música y letra un paso de gigante en la evolución de los Beatles. De hecho, John Lennon la creó como una carta a su mujer, Cynthia, admitiendo una aventura. Tim O’Brien aprovechó las tonalidades folkies para realizar una versión imponente que sirvió de cierre a su disco de 2011 Two Journeys. En realidad, escarbó en los antecedentes irlandeses del cuarteto de Liverpool, un importante puerto de entrada para tantos exiliados que buscaban trabajo. Una de las bandas míticas del bluegrass es Hot Rize, fundada en 1978 por Tim O'Brien, Pete Wernick, Charles Sawtelle y Mike Scap, aunque este último fue reemplazado muy pronto por Nick Forster. Además, tenían un divertido “alter ego” llamado Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers. En su álbum Shades In The Past incluyeron su particular versión de “Nowhere Man”, que también pertenece a Rubber Soul, el sexto álbum de los Beatles y que parece definir en un principio el carácter del propio John Lennon. Tras admitir posteriormente que consumía drogas, el personaje de esta canción fue analizado desde todos los puntos de vista posibles por los expertos. Como conclusión, aquél “hombre de ninguna parte” podía ser desde un “camello” al capitán del Submarino Amarillo. Rhett Miller, el nombre artístico de Stewart Ransom Miller II, siempre ha estado asociado a la banda Old 97’s como su líder y cantante solista. The Dreamer es el quinto álbum de estudio que graba al margen de su banda y un disco en el que se marca un cambio en sus exposiciones personales. Resultaba curioso que cuando Rhett Miller grababa en solitario tenía ciertas inclinaciones hacia el pop con cierto acento británico, mientras que con Old 97’s se manifestaba mucho más inclinado a las raíces. En 2005 se realizó un álbum dedicado al álbum Rubber Soul con motivo de su cumpleaños número 40, This Bird Has Flown – A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul, y en él participó el músico tejano con esta versión de “Girl”. El siglo XXI comenzó con una película llamada I Am Sam que protagonizaron Sean Penn y Michelle Pfeiffer. Los productores pretendieron que su banda sonora estuviera compuesta de grabaciones originales de los Beatles, pero ante su imposibilidad, optaron por reunir toda una serie de versiones de la banda de Liverpool realizadas por nombres tan sonoros como Rufus Wainwright, los Wallflowers, Sheryl Crow, Nick Cave, Ben Harper o los Black Crowes, entre otros. Poco antes de su disolución en 2002, la banda de los hermanos Robinson grabó “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds”, una de las composiciones de Lennon siempre controvertida que formó parte en 1967 de Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, el disco que lo cambió todo. El tema de apertura del último álbum grabado por los Beatles, Abbey Road, aunque se publicara en 1969, antes que Let It Be, es uno de los más musculosos del grupo. En parte tiene que ver con la veneración de John Lennon por Chuck Berry y su entrega a las campañas en favor de la paz en las que estaba muy implicado por entonces. El tejano Delbert McClinton escogió “Come Together” para el álbum Come Together - America Salutes The Beatles de 1995, en el que participaron varios de los grandes nombres de la country music. Espléndido con la armónica, en una gira por Gran Bretaña a comienzos de los 60 con Bruce Channel, al que había acompañado en su clásico "Hey! Baby", enseñó a John Lennon algunos trucos con la armónica. Se notó mucho en “Love Me Do”. Cuando Rosanne Cash dejó el sello Columbia en 1965, la compañía publicó un recopilatorio titulado Retrospective, al que se añadió esta versión de “I’m Only Sleeping”, que John Lennon compuso para Revolver en 1966 en el reverso de una carta. Refleja a la perfección su estado de ánimo de entonces cuando no estaba de gira con los Beatles. Se pasaba el día en la cama bajo los efectos de las drogas durmiendo, escribiendo o leyendo… hasta que McCartney venía a interrumpirle para trabajar sobre las canciones. Los Beatles impulsaron el comienzo de diversas bandas del Merseybeat. Varias de sus composiciones sirvieron para que aquellos grupos empezaran a despuntar. En 1963 John Lennon entregó uno de esos temas a Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas. Era “I Call Your Name”, que él mismo había escrito antes incluso de que se formaran los Beatles en casa de su tía Mimi, con la que se crió. Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas la utilizaron como B de “Bad To Me”, otra composición del binomio Lennon/McCartney, pero no acabó de convencerlos, de tal forma que los Beatles hicieron su propia versión, apareciendo primeramente en Estados Unidos dentro del llamado Second Album y en 1964 en Gran Bretaña formando parte del EP Long Tall Sally. En 1966, The Mamas And The Papas, “la familia real de Laurel Canyon”, hicieron su debut con el álbum If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears y la dieron a conocer a nivel popular en Estados Unidos. “In My Life” se incluyó originalmente en un Lp tan imponente como Rubber Soul de los Beatles. En el texto, aunque la autoría fue compartida con McCartney, un John Lennon que acababa de cumplir 25 años recordaba con nostalgia a la gente y los lugares donde pasó una parte muy importante de sus años jóvenes. La canción tiene claras reminiscencias de “Penny Lane” y “Strawberry Fields Forever” y el músico exploraría la misma temática en los siguientes momentos de su carrera, de forma muy especial en el doble álbum del cuarteto, bien conocido como el Álbum Blanco. En 1994, Crosby, Stills & Nash editaron su álbum After The Storm coincidiendo con el 25º aniversario de su disco de debut, tras haber estado dedicados a ampliar su discografía en solitario, con dos nuevos álbumes por parte de Stills y Crosby, además de un recopilatorio de Nash. Todas las canciones de este disco que les llevó a hacer una larga gira, incluyendo el Woodstock ’94, pertenecían a los tres músicos, excepto una versión de “In My Life”.  John Lennon siempre admitió las más variadas experiencias, que se fueron ampliando con el paso de los años. El rock and roll de sus comienzos dio paso a una cierta fijación por figuras como las de Elvis, los Everly Brothers o Bob Dylan y su forma de crear canciones. Si ellos podían hacerlo, Lennon también. “You've Got To Hide Your Love Away” fue una de sus primeras reflexiones sobre su manera de escribir, que había comenzado con temas como "I'm a Loser" en el verano del 64. Lennon la compuso en casa, buscando un nuevo tema para la película Help!. Jackson Browne, que al versionar a los Beatles siempre se ha inclinado por las creaciones de John Lennon, la cantó así en uno de sus homenajes. Jonathan Edwards es un veterano artista de Aitkin, Minnesota, que empezó su carrera abriendo los conciertos de B.B. King y la Allman Brothers Band, fichando por Capricorn Records y lanzando su disco de debut hace 47 años. En 2011, Jonathan Edwards publicaba su álbum My Love Will Keep incluyendo una versión de “She Loves You”, muy alejada de como conocíamos aquella canción de los Beatles que a mediados de septiembre de 1963 se editaba como single en Estados Unidos en un pequeño sello discográfico llamado Swan Records. En este caso, “She Loves You” tiene que ver con una cierta fijación de Paul McCartney con una canción de Bobby Rydell titulada “Forget Him” (“Olvídale”) y pensó en crear una dónde preguntar “¿Ella te quiere?” y que los demás contestaran “Si”. Lo comentó con Lennon y la idea quedó flotando en el ambiente. Empezaron a trastear con las guitarras en el hotel mientras estaban de gira con Roy Orbison y Gerry and the Pacemakers y terminaron aquella composición en casa de Paul al día siguiente. Jim Lauderdale también se fijó en el álbum Rubber Soul del cuarteto de Liverpool y eligió “I’m Looking Through You”, llevándose el tema hasta el sonido de Bakersfield y las influencias de Buck Owens. Producido por Phil Madeira y grabado en la Music City, Nueva York y San Francisco, el álbum Let Us In Americana contaba entre los invitados con Buddy Miller, Will Hoge, Rodney Crowell, Ketch Secor de Old Crow Medicine Show, Steve Earle y Allison Moorer.

About This Episode's Guest: Nick Forster ( http://nickforster.com ) is a professional musician, record producer, radio host and Executive Director of a non-profit organization based in Boulder, Colorado. He is most widely known as a long standing member of the award winning bluegrass band, Hot Rize and as the host and founder of the musical and environmental radio program, eTown. Born in Beirut in 1955 while his father worked for the State Department, Nick was raised in upstate New York. He started playing drums at age ten, but abandoned them in favor of his first guitar a year later. As a teen, he played in folk and folk-rock bands. His desire to pursue music as a career in the mid-seventies led him to Colorado, where he worked at the famed Denver Folklore Center. It was there he met the three young men with whom he would form the contemporary bluegrass band Hot Rize in 1978. For the band, Nick supplied bass, vocals and guitar and was also well known as the M.C. and host. He won recognition as a writer as well, earning praise from Rolling Stone Magazine as “an exceptional songwriter.” Hot Rize established an acclaimed international reputation, releasing ten albums and touring worldwide fulltime for over 12 years. The band appeared on countless radio and television programs, including Austin City Limits, The Grand Old Opry and Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion. Hot Rize earned both a Grammy nomination and the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year Award in 1991. Ironically, in the face of this success, the band members collectively decided to pursue individual projects later that year and went into semi-retirement. In September of 2014, Hot RIze released When I'm Free, their first new studio record in 25 years and will be touring heavily through 2015. The Bluegrass world is welcoming them back with open arms.

Grammy Award-winning bluegrass songwriter and performer Tim O’Brien joins our Tim O’Brien to talk about his own musical journey and about America’s bluegrass musical heritage. http://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Bluegrass_II_auphonic.mp3   According to the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation, America’s bluegrass music can trace its roots to the 1600s when people emigrated to America from Ireland, Scotland, and England brought. The Foundation says they brought with them the basic styles of music that give us the bluegrass music we know today. The music took hold in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia, which at the time included what we now know as West Virginia. Bluegrass music has always about stories that reflected the people from these regions. At first it was known simply as country or mountain music. Ironically, it would be the dawn of audio technology that would give bluegrass a new life. In the early 1900s, the invention of the phonograph and then later the dawn of radio introduced bluegrass music to the masses. In the 1920 and ‘30s the Monroe Brothers – Charlie and Bill – made a name for the music and themselves. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, it was Bill Monroe who coined the term “bluegrass” when he called his band Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. Bill was from the bluegrass state of Kentucky. They thought of this as traditional country music, using a sound that relied on acoustic instruments and vocal harmonies. Another key figure in the development of bluegrass music was Earl Scruggs. Earl joined Monroe’s band in the mid-1940s as a banjo player. His sound gave bluegrass what we now think of as that signature bluegrass sound. Others would make their own imprint on bluegrass, like Lester Flatt from Tennessee, Chubby Wise from Florida, and other instruments would be added to add richness to the bluegrass sound. One includes the resophonic guitar, better known as the dobro. Bluegrass music has been the soundtrack for motion pictures, television shows and has been made popular on radio stations from coast to coast for generations and millions of Americans.

Tim first toured nationally in the 1980’s with Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize.

Starting in the late 1970s with the pioneering string band Hot Rize, Tim O'Brien has trailblazed a quietly powerful and influential solo career that includes 16 albums and multiple Grammy awards, writing what many consider to be the new standards of bluegrass music. Now that he's a bluegrass elder statesmen, O'Brien has made the time to produce albums for a new crop of festival headliners like Yonder Mountain String Band and the Infamous Stringdusters. He's recorded and toured with Mark Knopfler and Steve Martin, had his songs covered by the Dixie Chicks and Garth Brooks — not bad for the small, bespectacled kid from Wheeling, West Virginia who dropped out of college and headed west with the idea that maybe, just maybe — if he learned enough songs — he could make it.

Kde jinde než u nás na Dixie byste mohli slyšet v jedné hodině klasický bluegrass Tima O´Briena (ex Hot Rize), nezkrotitelnou outlaw lady Elizabeth Cook popisující svůj vztah k sexu a alkoholu, zasloužilého matadora Rodney Crowella s novinkou Close Ties plnou akustických kytar, pár netrpělivě kopyty hrabajících country-rockových hřebečků nebo Johnny Cashem a June Carter proslavený Jackson v podání psychobilly saxofonistů The Hillbilly Moon Explosion. A nesmí chybět i první ochutnávka z nového, dlouho očekávaného alba Willie Nelsona.

He's a singer and a songwriter, a fiddle and mandolin master, a band leader and a valued collaborator.  Tim O'Brien has few peers in his influence on American roots music over the past 40 years. He formed the band Hot Rize in 1978 in Boulder CO with banjo player Pete Wernick, guitarist Charles Sawtelle and bass player Nick Forster. That quartet became arguably the most popular and influential bluegrass band of the 1980s and Hot Rize inspired a vibrant bluegrass scene in Colorado with its own strains and sounds. When the IBMA inaugurated its award show in 1990, Hot Rize won the first Ent of the Year prize. There's been much more - a varied solo career, duo albums considered folk masterpieces with his sister Mollie, an album called Red on Blonde that set the gold standard for Bob Dylan cover records and numerous collaborations with musicians from the US and the UK. Along the way he's had songs recorded by Garth Brooks, Alison Krauss and others. He co-founded the Earls of Leicester, the Flatt & Scruggs inspired band that's become the toast of bluegrass. He's been a case study in excellence and steadiness. Tim OBrien's newest album mingles original and cover songs dedicated to the state where it all began for him - West Virginia. It's called Where The River Meets The Road.

TIM O'BRIEN is one of titans of roots-music. It has been four years since Tim�s last solo recording. Between collaborations with Darrell Scott, the recent Grammy winning recording with Jerry Douglas�s Earls of Leicester and the rebooting of Hot Rize; he�s barely had time for a shower. Still, somewhere in O'Brien's vivid imagination, the seeds of �Pompadour� began to sprout. The fruits of his recent wanderings, music making and worldly observations have blossomed into eleven exquisitely varied, true to life and above all musical tracks. RON BLOCK has long since secured his reputation as a deeply thoughtful and accomplished musician. After two-decades as part of Alison Krauss� band, Union Station, with whom he�s earned a collection of Grammy®, IBMA, and Dove awards, as well as many years as a songwriter and sideman for the likes of Rhonda Vincent, Randy Travis, The Boxcars, The Cox Family, Dailey & Vincent, Dolly Parton, and Vince Gill, Block now presents his new solo album, �Hogan�s House of Music.� WoodSongs Kid: Marteka & William Lake hail from Hacker Valley, West Virgirnia. This sister and brother duo play bluegrass the the Flatt and Scruggs style.

Tim O'Brien dropped by the Henhouse Studio here in Nashville for a conversation and a little pickin'! Tim is an indelible fixture on the acoustic music scene and is one of the most accomplished and well-versed instrumentalists out there, not to mention a hit songwriter. He has a fantastic new album out called "Pompadour" that explores all aspects of his diverse musical identity. We talked about his musical influences, how he got into music, starting the seminal Hot Rize with Pete Wernick, his songwriting, and sessions with Mark Knopfler, Steve Earle and lots more! Then we picked up a couple of axes at the end and had ourselves a little jam...
