I saw HR (and Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers 😁) many times back in the 80s and 90s, and then the last one with Charles in March of '96. A great loss, but O what a time it was then. The finest live music I've ever had the pleasure hearing.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It's hard to imagine anyone could have so much insight at such a young age. I saw Hot Rize several times and always enjoyed them Red Knuckles was lots of fun, but Hot Rize was who I came to see. I believe without Hot Rize, bluegrass wouldn't have evolved to the point it has today. What an incredible writer & singer Tim Obrien is. Charles Sawtelle wasn't flashy but he was one of the most tasteful guitar players I've ever seen.
They are still this good! We saw them a few weeks ago here in Boulder, on their reunion tour. Their new guitarist (who replaced the late Charles Sawtelle) fits right in. And this song still causes me to get misty eyed...
Our band is covering this song. We always get so many people asking who wrote it and telling us that they "love it, but it's so sad." This is definitely one of my favorite Hot Rize tunes.
i saw this group at emma jos in austin texas in 1983 and was really impressed I especially like the guitar player charles sawtelle. good songs. and very bluegrass.
One of my favorite bands. What an awesome sounding guitar too a 1937 D-28 and notice the guitar on the stand behind Charles Sewtelle, it is a shaded top 1936 D-18.
Charles Sawtelle's music meant a great deal to many people, especially acoustic guitarists, who recognized his powerful, spare, unique style of playing. I never met him but saw him play at WVA several times. He was a guitarist's guitarist, and this album, before his untimely death, is in the same league as 1973'a "Will the Circle Be Unbroken".
This is just 100% pure pot-stilled magic....thankyou for posting this gem....was lucky to catch Hot Rize + Red Knuckles ! in '89 @ Edale....great memories....killer outfit....RIP Chaz Sawtelle...check out his cd....music from rancho deville......superb.
Guitarists admired Sawtelle's style. I mean, really good guitarists. Just something so damn good about the way he played. "Music from Rancho DeVille" is a magnum opus. And everyone is on it too.
He is like that guy on the beer comerical, He's everwhere you want to be, he is the MOST interesting man in the world, he once had an awkward moment to see how it felt!! He is Jerry 'Flux" Douglas
I wasn't trying to compare those bands with Hot Rize...it was in response to someone who said Yonder is "the cream of the crop" now days...I just threw a few names out there that I think are much better
Meadow green park jubilee road done this song clay city ky, billy paul kizer Glenville townsend lovell stevens ,greg wilson ,megan wilson, and clayton hawkins ,they did a great job that knight,
Think what you want but he wasn't in the same league as guys like Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Norman Blake, Brian Sutton, Cody Kilby, Tim Stafford, Kenny Smith, David Grier, Josh Williams, Clay Jones, and a host of other guitarists. No one can compare? You must not have listened to the guys I listed if that's what you think but to each his own. Even on this clip, he's playing George Shuffler's down, down, up cross-picking style from the 1950's only not as well as Shuffler. Good band though.
I believe that guitar is a D-18..Notice NO BINDING around the edge...The Herringbones had binding around the edge...that looks more like a D-18 to me...
Bryan Sutton is really good but I think guys like Josh Williams and Cody Kilby are right there with him. Check out Black Mountain Rag (jam) (through RUclips search) to see some other really great guitarists.
Ummm. Why is Jerry Douglas up there? and I think its funny that Pete Wernick is a Better singer than my dad. He actually sounds ike he'd have a good singing voice. am I right?
while I thank Yonder for helping me get into bluegrass in my opinion they are not the "cream of the crop"...bands like The Del McCoury Band, Ricky Skaggs, Doyle Lawson, and countless others really I would put ahead of Yonder but to each his own I guess...I'm just more a fan of traditional bluegrass...and also the last time I saw Yonder live it was a complete joke after being at Merlefest and seeing some of the true "cream of the the crop"
Sawtelle is one of my favorites, ya there are better players but his licks were tasteful and not overdone, every note he played counted and there wasnt a need for extras. Just listen to his tone and spacing in his licks.
damn straight -- it ain't the notes but the silence / spaces between that counts. How many guitarists do that descending turnaround fiddle run (check out what he does at the coda -- the end of the last line before the "tag")
TO is an amazing player..........but man can he sing. Some dudes have this soulful timbre in their voice........Keith Whitley being a prime example. Tim O. has it. Young Tony Rice too.
Great vocals. Where did all these good bands go? Now we mostly got a bunch of liberal wimps playing jazzgrass, wimpgrass and pansygrass.Having said that - FYI, check out "The Out Of Town Boys" who are still out there playin' it right.
What about Norman Blake and Clarence White, both of whom were well known before Sawtelle? There were others as well. My point is that for some here to say "no one can compare" to Sawtelle, even for the time, is just silly. As a band, they were good but Sawtelle was an average guitarist. As for Sawtelle not living to see the change in bluegrass guitar, that's not true at all. He judged at Winfield when a friend of mine won it his first time.
Charles was so musical and soulful. Tim drives me up the wall. I cannot listen to his singing, there's something false in there, something contrived. Rest of the guys rock.
Hot Rize was good although Sawtelle was pretty weak on the guitar. O'Brien is very talented as is Wernick. I have to say, I really don't like Yonder Mountain. They are yet another of the bluegrass wannabes. When a bluegrass band lists Ozzy Osbourne and Frank Zappa among their influences, that tells me a lot. I hate it when bands think that if they just throw in a banjo, they're now a "bluegrass" band.
I heard him say he likes to keep his whole mouth, jaw and vocal cords as loose as possible while he's singing. If you notice, he always switches to the high harmony for the chorus while Nick takes over the melody in most of their songs.

Charles Sawtelle kick off still kicks ass everytime I listen to this!! KILLER band!
"you won't always be young.."
Saw them in the 80s, 90s, dang, we're all getting older.
Tim O'Brien is the best.Love his voice and his amazing talent!!!This group is so good!
Greatest band of all time and Jerry Douglas looks awesome with a mullet.

Amazing song, amazing vocals
It’s a great song though, Pete Wernick, the banjo player wrote it
are you kidding? This is priceless! Good on us, who have had the experience
beautiful, thoughtful song - Tim's the real thing.
How good were these guys?I had forgotten all about this great song.A young Jerry Douglas sitting in on Dobro.
Will take a long time for the chillbumps to go away.
Them words chill ya to the bone
Time moves only one way,you won't always be young.Great song.R.I.P.Charles Sawtelle.
tippimail1 Yes rise ....in your prime
Great to see Charles sawtelle..great guitarplayer.rj
They are still this good! We saw them a few weeks ago here in Boulder, on their reunion tour. Their new guitarist (who replaced the late Charles Sawtelle) fits right in. And this song still causes me to get misty eyed...
I remember seeing them several times in the 80's they were one of my favorite bands and I hope to get to see them again.
I have played this video over and over... I absolutely LOVE it! What a great message too!!
I'll say. I'm 69.....😮
Tim O'Brien and Hot Rize are simply the best. This song is awesome, the way bluegrass should be.
Our band is covering this song. We always get so many people asking who wrote it and telling us that they "love it, but it's so sad." This is definitely one of my favorite Hot Rize tunes.
Pete Wernick wrote this
Rick Dauer Yeah I'm aware.
What a song ; saw Tim with Darrell Scott at Grey Fox in 2000. Rode 6000 miles to get there. RIP Charles, wonderful guitar you played.
i saw this group at emma jos in austin texas in 1983 and was really impressed I especially like the guitar player charles sawtelle. good songs. and very bluegrass.
Love this song ,,,this group and Tim O’Brien
Great song....Great group Hot Rize. Love Tim O’Brien
Big Mon is smiling every time someone plays a Tim O'Brien song in any format.
One of my favorite bands. What an awesome sounding guitar too a 1937 D-28 and notice the guitar on the stand behind Charles Sewtelle, it is a shaded top 1936 D-18.
Great song, best vocal harmony. RIP Charles Sawtelle.
Wow what a gorgous song. Had allmost forgot how good Hotrize was
Thank you for hosting this song! I love Hot Rize and I love this song!
( tear's are a measure of value) I value this video alot!
pure bluegrass gold!

Unique and inspired.
This is just 100% pure pot-stilled magic....thankyou for posting this gem....was lucky to catch Hot Rize + Red Knuckles ! in
'89 @ Edale....great memories....killer outfit....RIP Chaz Sawtelle...check out his cd....music from rancho deville......superb.
This is the best bluegrass ever put down on this earth
Saw them early eighties.....at their very best.
I saw Hot Rize at Bonnaroo this year. They were great.
For some reason, is feeling nostalgic
this is one of the best bluegrass groups out there!
charles sawtelle looking fresh with his bolo & shiny shirt
Love this song, as sad as they come.
Yep! These guys are my faverites!
I saw these guys for the 1st time in Aurora Colorado in 1981 ( I believe), it was Love at first site. And still is.
love this song!
just Super Talent Thanks Great Music Too
Perfection.
Thanks for correcting me Steve, you are exactly right, that is a D-18. He did play a '37 D-28 too. Sawtelle had some nice guitars.
When bluegrass could be slow ..and heartfelt ♡♡♡ He's just like you
Love this song and guitar player. Very heartfelt bluegrass
such a beautiful song
Rare and hard to find!
Jerry Douglas is omnipresent, to be sure. But this particular incarnation, with the mullet to end all mullets is a particular favorite.
god ripcharles sawtell . kind man
bluegrassman...I've been in bluegrass a long, long time and just discovered this a few weeks ago. It's great ain't it?
Crazy good!
And the mulleted Jerry "Flux" Douglas guesting on Dobro.
That is a strong mullet!
Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't mind seeing the mullet make a come-back.
Literally the best mullet ever! LOL
LOL!!!!!!!
had the pleasure to see thrm liive nned i say more
Great song! Hey, if anyone has a clip of these guys doing Ninety Nine Years, please put it up - I love their version of that song.
Lord Jeezus what a pretty song.. DCDM Dixie cup Drinking music
♡♡♡ great
awesome
There are some fancier pickers these days, but to my ear, nobody was as tasteful and soulful as the Great Charles Sawtelle...Just sayin'!
Spot on there.
Guitarists admired Sawtelle's style. I mean, really good guitarists. Just something so damn good about the way he played. "Music from Rancho DeVille" is a magnum opus. And everyone is on it too.
How long ago? We were all so much younger….
No, I don't. But Hot Rize recently released a DVD of a show recorded in the 1980s on which Red Knuckles & the Trail Blazers are featured.
great
Wow, what a nice suprise to find and hear this once again - tysvm. You wouldnt happen to have any old red knuckles laying around you could share?
Jerry Douglas is there because Jerry Douglas is EVERYWHERE! :P
He is like that guy on the beer comerical, He's everwhere you want to be, he is the MOST interesting man in the world, he once had an awkward moment to see how it felt!! He is Jerry 'Flux" Douglas
God damn, forgot how beautiful this sound was
SLADE!
Yes very true and also I think,Tim looks like Jerry Lee Lewis when he was young.
I wasn't trying to compare those bands with Hot Rize...it was in response to someone who said Yonder is "the cream of the crop" now days...I just threw a few names out there that I think are much better
Meadow green park jubilee road done this song clay city ky, billy paul kizer Glenville townsend lovell stevens ,greg wilson ,megan wilson, and clayton hawkins ,they did a great job that knight,
Got some thinkin’ to do.
Hope none of you folks haft to face this in life, be carefull, it could happen to you!
Great video. Great song. Who is the dobro player? Kinda looks like a younger Jerry Douglas.
Hey man can I have a rip in the chat for his wife
i meet them all at la baron san jose, sad charles had bone marrow diseasea, kindsoul.
Dead right there !!
Looks like an American Music Shop show. EVERYONE's younger, including Jerry
That's it.
It is Jerry Douglas.
Think what you want but he wasn't in the same league as guys like Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Norman Blake, Brian Sutton, Cody Kilby, Tim Stafford, Kenny Smith, David Grier, Josh Williams, Clay Jones, and a host of other guitarists. No one can compare? You must not have listened to the guys I listed if that's what you think but to each his own. Even on this clip, he's playing George Shuffler's down, down, up cross-picking style from the 1950's only not as well as Shuffler. Good band though.
I believe that guitar is a D-18..Notice NO BINDING around the edge...The Herringbones had binding around the edge...that looks more like a D-18 to me...
quelqu uns à t ils des images de Toulouse/France..blugras/festival ???198...,merci...Nice.
Isn't Tim responsible for YMSB's crossover into bigs by producing their first release?
Bryan Sutton is really good but I think guys like Josh Williams and Cody Kilby are right there with him. Check out Black Mountain Rag (jam) (through RUclips search) to see some other really great guitarists.
Ummm. Why is Jerry Douglas up there?
and I think its funny that Pete Wernick is a Better singer than my dad. He actually sounds ike he'd have a good singing voice. am I right?
22 dis-likes!? Idiocracy !!!!!
while I thank Yonder for helping me get into bluegrass in my opinion they are not the "cream of the crop"...bands like The Del McCoury Band, Ricky Skaggs, Doyle Lawson, and countless others really I would put ahead of Yonder but to each his own I guess...I'm just more a fan of traditional bluegrass...and also the last time I saw Yonder live it was a complete joke after being at Merlefest and seeing some of the true "cream of the the crop"

TO is an amazing player..........but man can he sing. Some dudes have this soulful timbre in their voice........Keith Whitley being a prime example.
Tim O. has it. Young Tony Rice too.
Great grouping!. Tim O, Keith Whitley and Tony Rice...Gene Watson, too!
What about enjoying the music and forgetting about the silly "who's best" argument?
Hot rize is the shit
Great vocals. Where did all these good bands go? Now we mostly got a bunch of liberal wimps playing jazzgrass, wimpgrass and pansygrass.Having said that - FYI, check out "The Out Of Town Boys" who are still out there playin' it right.

Pas un mot sur la présence de Brian Sutton??
Charles was so musical and soulful. Tim drives me up the wall. I cannot listen to his singing, there's something false in there, something contrived. Rest of the guys rock.

Tim looks so disinterested. Pretty funny.
Tim always looks bored. LOL
I heard him say he likes to keep his whole mouth, jaw and vocal cords as loose as possible while he's singing. If you notice, he always switches to the high harmony for the chorus while Nick takes over the melody in most of their songs.
