Po' Ramblin Boys - Never Slow Down - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Like seekers finally hitting the open road after a year without it's exhilarating freedom, deep-rooted bluegrass troupe The Po' Ramblin' Boys kick it into high gear on Never Slow Down, their newest collection of classic songs and soon-to-be-classic originals. The GRAMMY-nominated group pours every ounce of passion they have into these recordings as they always have, this time with even more fervor and zeal with the addition new band member Laura Orshaw. Taking on material by their heroes the Stanley Brothers, Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard, George Jones and more, the Po' Ramblin' Boys bridge the gap between the past and present, proving the eternal importance of bluegrass and making it accessible to all.

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.
