“Love Is An Awful Thing” Tops Bluegrass Today Weekly Chart

Nashville, TN (November 8, 2019) - The 615 Hideaway Records is proud to announce its second #1 song for the new label. “Love Is An Awful Thing” from Bluegrass veteran Audie Blaylock and Redline goes #1 on the Bluegrass Today Weekly Chart. This #1 song joins Blaylock’s other #1 song, “The Gate Called Beautiful”, which went to #1 on the Bluegrass Today Weekly Gospel Chart back in September.

“‘Love Is an Awful Thing,’…I believe is a perfect bridge between tradition and the future. I think the lyrics and the musical interpretation — as well as vocal interpretation — show a fresh approach to bluegrass music and still pay homage to the roots and tradition that it came from.” — Audie Blaylock

The (615) Hideaway Entertainment recently released the music video for “Love Is An Awful Thing” which premiered on RFD-TV.com, as well as on RFD-TV’s facebook page, reaching over 300,000 viewers. The video was also featured on Bluegrass Life’s facebook page reaching over 500,000 viewers. Watch the music video now!

ABOUT AUDIE BLAYLOCK AND REDLINE:

Audie Blaylock’s musical journey is a familiar one in bluegrass music, having grown up in an Appalachian musical family, his musical education started early and led to him sharing the stage with some of bluegrass’ finest and most respected artists, including first generation bluegrass character and giant, Jimmy Martin, as well as Red Allen, Harley Allen, Lynn Morris, Michael Cleveland, and Rhonda Vincent.

Audie Blaylock and Redline have an unofficial motto of sorts: It’s all the same thing. Classic cars, forward rolls, love, art, loss, faith...life. This cohesive connectedness and a willingness to see the world through the lens of tradition without boundaries makes Redline, now in its second decade of existence, a unique fixture in the world of bluegrass, where at times the music can indeed sound like “the same thing.” But for Redline, “the same thing” means it all comes from the same place, which enables them to create music that honors tradition through innovation. And they are not the only ones to have noticed.

Audie has garnered such prestigious awards as the IBMA’s Instrumental Group of the Year and Entertainer of the Year, he’s been nominated for both Guitar Player of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, he’s had numerous #1 and charting singles on the charts, his music has been featured as the theme song for Travel Channel’s series entitled Backroads Gold, he has even been nominated for a Grammy. That’s just to say that though Audie and Redline are singular in their approach, they are not just more of “the same thing.” They are a force to be reckoned with; with all the power of classic cars, forward rolls, love, art, loss, faith, and life behind them, thrusting them into the future. Honoring tradition through innovation. For Redline, they are the same thing.
