“Po’ Ramblin’ Boys just really speak to and resonate with me,” says Jim Lauderdale. “I hear so much of the great traditional bluegrass sound in them and it makes me so happy to see a younger band of their generation carrying the style forward so well. They’re all so great in what they all do, both individually and as a performing band.  I’ve always been blown away by them, so I was just very excited that they were interested in collaborating with me.”

“When Jim came to ask about making an album, we were seriously blown away,” says Po’ Ramblin' Boy, CJ Lewandowski. “It was really validating – Jim Lauderdale calling US to do a bluegrass album, we must be doing something right. He’s good at everything, just being himself and he fits into so well into so many different genres, but especially bluegrass.”

Lauderdale co-wrote all 12 songs on the album, half of them with Po’ Ramblin’ Boys guitarist Josh Rinkel, and they’re all classic old-school bluegrass with excellent ensemble arrangements. Lauderdale and Rinkel worked on their co-writes in a number of sessions, starting with “I’m Only So Good” – which concludes, “at being good.” Like most Lauderdale co-writes, it grew organically out of a conversation.
