Burlington, MA — “Alison’s Band,” Sizemore’s lighthearted hit single about yearning to be a member of Union Station, has been  the #1 single for three months in a row on Bluegrass Unlimited’s Top 30 Single Chart. “Alison’s Band” is also #1 on the Roots Music Bluegrass Report , #10 on XM Radio’s Bluegrass Junction Top 30 Tracks, and #5 on Bluegrass Music Profile’s Top 20 Hot Singles.  The song is a track from Sizemore’s acclaimed album Good News, which is currently #6 on Bluegrass Unlimited’s National Bluegrass Top 15 Album Chart and #10 on Bluegrass Music Profile’s Top 10 Bluegrass CDs.

Good News, Sizemore’s first studio album in five years, was released last year on Rounder Records and was produced by Sizemore and acclaimed country producer/songwriter Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney, George Jones, Reba McEntire).  No Depression says Charlie Sizemore “…delivers a hard-hitting album of bluegrass and straight country music.” while CMT.com says “…if you like easygoing bluegrass music with smart, clever lyrics, this one will make you feel pretty darn good.”
