JUNIOR SISK
“Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey”
DESCRIPTION:
The first time Junior Sisk heard “Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey” (written by Bob Minner), he put it on hold right away. The song struck a chord with him, resonating with the experience of a country boy like himself trying to make it in a city somewhere. Sisk adores life in the country and cherishes every memory of his rural upbringing, unable to imagine life any other way.
