The Po' Ramblin' Boys are a bluegrass band who are often unflinching in nature with their subject matter, a band that is “progressively traditional”; we talk about this and their love of George Jones songs, how C.J Lewandowski.’s home state of Missouri factors into their music, and how C.J. came to own Jimmy Martin’s pickup truck and more, with new music from the quintet

The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys’ C.J. Lewandowski sat with us at the International Bluegrass Music Association conference and festival in Raleigh, North Carolina in early Fall, 2022, and our conversation touched on everything from the often unflinching nature of their approach to subject matter, how he views his band as “progressively traditional”, their love of George Jones songs, how C.J.’s home state of Missouri factors into their music, and how he came to own Jimmy Martin’s pickup truck, and much more, along with music from the quintet, including new music from their next album, a collection featuring two songs with Jim Lauderdale.
