Heartache Looking for a Home is the follow-up to Charlie Sizemore's 2007 Rounder debut, Good News. A native of eastern Kentucky, Sizemore was hired at age 17 to take over for the departing Keith Whitley in Ralph Stanley's Clinch Mountain Boys, with whom he stayed for nine years before leaving to start his own band and to attend college. He graduated with honors, and now maintains a successful law practice in addition to his musical endeavors. Sizemore is highly regarded as a vocalist, songwriter, instrumentalist and bandleader, his songs have been recorded by Ralph Stanley, Jimmy Martin, Doyle Lawson and Dry Branch Fire Squad to name a few. Charlie is joined on this album by the four like-minded musicians in The Charlie Sizemore Band - banjo player Josh McMurray, resonator guitarist Matt DeSpain, mandolinist Danny Barnes and bassist John Pennell. Heartache covers lots of ground, musically and geographically, which suits Charlie just fine. "I don't want to make the record I made previously. I just try to keep it interesting for me.".
