Traditional Ties is a third album by the progressive bluegrass band Hot Rize. It was the first Hot Rize album released by Sugar Hill Records, following the band's earlier releases with Flying fish records. Critic Thom Owens called the album "arguably their best effort ever".[1]

The song "Walk the Way the Wind Blows", written by Tim O'Brien and included on Traditional Ties, was covered by country music artist Kathy Mattea. Her recording reached #10 on the Billboard Top 40 Country listing.[2]
