Ask any fan of bone-chilling, spine-tingling, hauntingly lonesome traditional bluegrass who the music's best modern-day flamekeepers are, and it won't take long for the name of Junior Sisk to come up. Heartaches and Dreams is the eagerly-awaited follow-up to Blue Side of the Blue Ridge, a widely lauded album that announced the rebirth of his band Ramblers Choice. At a time when bluegrass is headed in more directions than ever before, and attention flows to the latest fads and fashions, this release puts the spotlight back where it belongs: a good song, a hot band and a great, great voice.
