The Charlie Sizemore Band
Good News
Rounder Records

BY BOB MITCHELL

 

After a five-year recording hiatus, Sizemore returns with a vengeance. Make no mistake, this University of Kentucky graduate is the same man who at age 17 began singing lead with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. Highlights include Sizemore’s lighthearted I Want To Be In Alison’s Band; The Silver Bugle - a haunting Civil War tale based on actual events; I Won’t Be That Far From Here, the tale of lost love inspired by one of Carter Stanley’s neck ties; John Pennell’s co-penned Devil On A Plow; Matt DeSpain’s original gospel track, Good News When I Die; Paul Craft’s bluesy slightly funky Mama Turn Aloosa My Soul; and a straight-ahead, no-nonsense I’ve Fallen Down and I Can’t Get Up.  BMP
