Rounder Records has signed Charlie Sizemore to its acclaimed roster of bluegrass artists. Much beloved for both his musical talents and integrity, Charlie Sizemore is highly regarded as a vocalist, songwriter, instrumentalist and bandleader.
In August 2007 Rounder released Good News - Sizemore’s first new studio album in five years, following an extended hiatus from the bluegrass world. Produced by Sizemore and acclaimed country producer/songwriter Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney, George Jones, Reba McEntire), Good News is compelling proof that Sizemore is his own best interpreter - and that Good News was worth the wait.
A powerful songwriter whose songs have been recorded by Ralph Stanley, Jimmy Martin, Doyle Lawson and Dry Branch Fire Squad to name a few, Sizemore contributes four new originals to Good News - among them the tongue-in-cheek Alison's Band reflecting Sizemore’s dry sense of humor fans have to come to love.
Other highlights include songs by Dixie and Tom T. Hall, Harley Allen, and Hank Cochran. Throughout the album, Sizemore’s singing is soulful and heartfelt, bringing a new level of emotion and insight to songs new and old.
