AUDIE BLAYLOCK & REDLINE, “Originalist,” 12 tracks. 615 Hideaway Records.

Audie Blaylock served a long apprenticeship in bluegrass before forming Redline and going out on his own in 2007.

First, there was nine years with bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin.

Then came three with Red Allen, three with Red’s son Harley Allen, four with Rhonda Vincent and one with Michael Cleveland.

At 57, Blaylock is in the prime of his career.

The latest album, “Originalist,” is traditional bluegrass featuring songs made popular by Martin, The Stanley Brothers and The Delmore Brothers.

But it also features original material.

Bass player Reed Jones wrote or co-wrote the first single — “Love Is An Awful Thing,” along with “Always A Fight,” “The Ghost of Cecil Martin (with Blaylock), “The Gate Called Beautiful” and the instrumental, “Huckleberry’s Hope,” which feature Ronnie McCoury.

Older songs include Martin’s 1960 song, “In Foggy Old London”; Faron Young‘s “I Just Came To Get My Baby,” from 1968; Ralph Stanley‘s “Medicine Springs” and The Delmore Brothers’ “Don’t Know Why.”

It’s available on most online music sites.

JOE HOTT, “West Virginia Rail,” Rural Rhythm Records. 12 tracks

Joe Hott, a 23-year-old Virginia native, is relatively new to the national bluegrass scene.

But he’s already charted two singles — “West Virginia Rail” and “World of Lies” — off his debut Rural Rhythm album — “West Virginia Rail.”

And two more — “Lonesome As Can Be” and “Cry From The Cross” — have recently been released to radio.

Hott co-wrote seven of the songs — “West Virginia Rail,” “Lonesome As Can Be,” “I Got No Reason To Stay,” “World of Lies,” “I’ve Got A Story To Tell,” “Today Ain’t The Day” and “Sweet Lovin’ Lies.”

Three other songs are connected with the Stanley Brothers — Hott’s main influence.

Ralph Stanley wrote “If That’s The Way You Feel.”

Carter Stanley wrote “Loving You Too Well.”

And Roy Lee Centers, a former member of the band, wrote “I Can’t Get You Out of My Mind.”

An all-star cast of bluegrass musicians worked on the album — Scott Vestal, Cody Kilby, Dennis Crouch, Aubrey Haynie, Glen Duncan, Ned Luberecki,  Casey Campbell and Joe Spivey.
