Ramblers Choice Rides the Studio Special

What a week this has been--Just when you think you have everything under control, "Zoom!" It's gone.

Such has been the case with my week. Here we are on a Friday, and it didn't occur to me until I was driving in this morning and heard it on the radio that I hadn't written anything about Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice's appearance on the Studio Special.

These guys make traditional bluegrass music at its finest, and it starts with the fine vocals turned in by Junior himself. For my money, he has one of the most expressive country/bluegrass lead voices in the industry. I've been a fan of his since hearing him with Wyatt Rice & Santa Cruz several years back, and we first had him on the Studio Special when he was still in Blueridge with Alan Bibey about two years ago. Since then, of course, Blueridge has disbanded and Junior has formed this fine new unit.

The song selection is fabulous. The songs they do on the show are taken from the new CD, Blue Side of the Blue Ridge, and listen for them to perform the title track, "How Could I Explain," and "You Let the Dog Off the Chain." They're standouts, although all the songs are excellent.

Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice on the Studio Special airs again tomorrow [Saturday] morning at 11:00 ET. Other air times can be found by following this link: Studio Special Air Times.
