"For new album Toil, Tears & Trouble, bluegrass traditionalists The Po' Ramblin' Boys pinpointed obvious and obscure cover songs, most of which pay homage to the Ozark Mountains' history of talented songwriters and gifted pickers. Despite their reliance on older material ... sound less like a tribute act and more like a creative force in bluegrass' changing landscape on their Rounder debut ... In all, The Po' Ramblin' Boys strike the right balance between musical history lessons and forging a career that makes current bluegrass even better as it enters a new decade".

"The Po' Ramblin' Boys' Toil, Tears & Trouble proves that the expanding universe of bluegrass music always has room for a contemporary take on tradition ... Winners of the International Bluegrass Music Association's 2018 Emerging Artist of the Year Award, Po' Ramblin' Boys began in an East Tennessee distillery. CJ Lewandowski (mandolin player and frontman) was playing solo for distillery patrons when he recruited his friends, Josh Rinkel (guitar) and Jereme Brown (banjo) to form a band that would play there. The band was rounded out by bassist Jasper Lorentzen, who was working in the distillery's tasting room. In addition to the Boys' fine musicianship, Laura Orshaw brings her distinctive fiddle playing to Toil, Tears & Trouble".
