Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey

Nashville, TN – [March 18, 2025] – Beloved bluegrass troubadour Junior Sisk delivers a heartfelt ode to home and heritage with his brand-new single, “Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey,” the first release from his new label home, Turnberry Records.

Written by Bob Minner, this soul-stirring song is a tribute to the simple joys of country life—one that many long for but too often leave behind. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Mama’s biscuits in an iron skillet, Daddy’s tobacco barn, running coon dogs through the holler, and late nights picking bluegrass with old friends. But as Sisk sings, “It’s a doggone shame today… it’s fadin‘ fast away, that country kind of life I dearly love. My rural ways of raisin’ are the memories I’m tastin’…sweeter than Tupelo honey on my tongue.“

“When I first heard ‘Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey,’ I put a hold on it right away,” says Sisk. “The song just struck a chord with me—telling the story of a country boy like me trying to make it in a city somewhere. I adore my life in the country and every memory of my rural way of raising, and I can’t imagine life any other way! I really like this song, and I hope everyone else does, too.”

With Junior Sisk’s unmistakable voice and signature traditional sound joined by his incredible band, this song is sure to resonate with bluegrass fans everywhere whether you’re from the county or the city. “Sweeter Than Tupelo Honey” is available now to all bluegrassradio stations and will be available to everyone on all music streaming platforms on March 28.
