Dry Branch Fire SquadNew York Times features story on the Martin Guitar factory tour.
“Given Martins humble origins, todays factory is surprisingly large and modern, built in 1964. The barn-red Martin building replicates the facade of the first Nazareth factory, but from the outside it looks to be playing host-victim to an industrial plant large enough to churn out cars and trucks.” PETER GERSTENZANG - New York Times
Sizemore gathering material for next project.
In a recent visit with Charlie Sizemore, the topic of a new recording venture came up. In August of 2007, he released his most recent recording, “Good News.” He mentioned he was hoping to record something new, towards the end of this year or the first part of next year.
One of the obstacles may be the search for some new songs. Sizemore stated, he’s on the lookout for some new material for an upcoming project. His past projects have featured some great tunes by the likes of Paul Kraft, Pee Wee King and both Carter and Ralph Stanley. An excellent recording of his from 2002, The Story is…, is entirely Tom T. Hall songs. As always any future recording will feature great songs that Charlie Sizemore will put his unique stamp on.
