Beneath the steel strings and steely demeanor exemplifying the spirit of bluegrass lies the heart of a wanderer: the heartbroken rambler looking for the next big break and the next story to tell

The Po' Rambin' Boys' 'Wanderers Like Me' is a quintessential bluegrass record, full of melodies that burst with energy and emotion and music driven by melancholy but refusing to succumb to it. They confront their losses with original songs that resonate poignantly across the hills and hollers where bluegrass was born. For The Po' Ramblin' Boys wandering is anything but aimless: they ramble not to escape the past but to experience the future.

* "There's something about the music of The Po' Ramblin' Boys that cuts right through the noise of the world and speaks plainly to the soul." - NPR
* "What's not to like about the Po' Ramblin' Boys? They started in a moonshine distillery not far from Dollywood. They all wear fabulous threads and hats from Rockmount. And they're kick ass. Every bit of what they're reaping this year is 100% earned from good honest work." - Americana Highways
* "The group feeds off of the energy of the sounds of the frst generation bluegrass musicians who were recorded 70 years ago, and they cling to that exciting core of the genre by design." - GRAMMY.com
* "It may seem trite to sum up their stance so succinctly, but, in fact, The Po' Ramblin' Boys (and now girl as well) epitomize bluegrass at its best." - Bluegrass Today
