Red Hot + Country

30 years ago Red Hot was riding high. Our first three albums: Red Hot + Blue, Red Hot + Dance and No Alternative became successful beyond our wildest dreams. We raised enough money to donate millions to important organizations around the world fighting AIDS, including a million to ACT UP. And we worked with some of the greatest artists and musicians in the world: David Byrne, U2, George Michael, Nirvana, Madonna and many others. Next up was two new albums - one focused on communities of color, Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool, and the other on country music.

Red Hot + Country is a 1994 compilation album of then-modern country artists released by Mercury Nashville. It is part of a series of compilations dedicated to AIDS awareness. Some of the artists featured here include Nanci Griffith, Dolly Parton, Brooks & Dunn, Kathy Mattea, Johnny Nash, Patty Loveless, Wilco, Willie Nelson and many more.

Gram Parsons was hardly the only worthwhile musician in the Flying Burrito Brothers, but the group's fusion of a country sound with a rock & roll mentality was largely his brainchild, and though the Burritos soldiered on for a while after he left for a solo career, their focus was never quite the same.
