Re-Hive, a retrospective of Christine Ohlman's recordings with Rebel Montez (Larry Donahue - drums, Michael Colbath -bass, Eric Fletcher - lead guitar) pairs classic titles with bonus cuts, including alternate versions, previously unissued tracks (a bone-chilling, unplugged version of the Percy Sledge soul barnburner "It Tears Me Up," for example, recorded in the early Nineties with the 3-piece incarnation of Rebel Montez often referred to as "The Amazing Drummer-less Trio"), and two brand-new studio recordings of Chess Chicago blues chestnuts that feature Cliff Goodwin on lead guitar (Goodwin, whose idea it was to title the disc "Re-Hive," replaced Eric Fletcher following Fletcher’s untimely death in 2006).

Special guests include G.E. Smith (Bob Dylan/SNL/Hall & Oates); Charlie Giordano (Bruce Springsteen/E Street Band); Andy York (John Mellencamp); Brian Mitchell (Levon Helm, Rosanne Cash) and Leon Pendarvis (SNL).

Disc includes "The Hard Way," featured on the Lifetime Channel’s original movie "Sex & Lies In Sin City."
