After 24 years away, legendary bluegrass quartet Hot Rize is back in the saddle, announcing a new album, When I'm Free, out September 30. Hailed by Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin) as "the connective tissue that links the great founders of bluegrass with the modern tradition," Hot Rize started in 1978 and have picked up where they left off after disbanding at the peak of their fame in 1990. Featuring three of the original members, they've added Grammy winner Bryan Sutton on guitar to replace Charles Sawtelle, who passed away in 2002.
Listen to "Blue Is Fallin'," the first track off When I'm Free, right here, and get ready to see Hot Rize live on what they promise will be a "massive tour."
