The Po' Ramblin' Boys - "Trying to Live the Dream" (Official Audio)
Listen to The Po' Ramblin' Boys’ "Trying to Live the Dream," from their album 'Wanderers Like Me.' Written by Josh Rinkel on his first trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and sung by Laura Orshaw, "Trying to Live the Dream" is a contemplative reflection on playing music for a living and missing home.
The Po' Ramblin Boys:
C.J. Lewandowski - mandolin
Laura Orshaw - lead vocals, fiddle
Josh Rinkel - acoustic guitar
Jasper Lorentzen - bass
Jereme Brown - banjo, harmony vocals
Purchase/Stream:
Smithsonian Folkways: folkways.si.edu/the-po-ramblin-boys/wanderers-like-me
Bandcamp: theporamblinboys.bandcamp.com/album/wanderers-like-me
All other platforms: orcd.co/the-po-ramblin-boys-wanderers-like-me
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.

Incredible explanation!
What a treasure!!!!
'If we're livin' it, we're changin' it'
OH GOD THIS WAS AMAZING
Easy listening bluegrass. . . .
Hearing that Edward Norton playing Pete Seeger in the dylan biopic brought me here 🔥
Awesome recording, great singing and voice control.
Anyone here b/c of Sturgill Simpson?
Anyone got the tabs for this?
I came to hear the instrument, but her amazing voice is the real star here...
Desperately waiting on this new CD of my favorite bluegrass band.
This should be played everywhere this summer...at all times.

Great presentation!
He literally played Bo Diddley with the clave when he was mentioning the yin and yang opposite side Style in the United States. Bo diddley's rhythm in the song lady named after him Bo Diddley, and they're both African rhythms traditional rhythms, actually. I love learning this stuff
Wow
The best version of my favourite song ever
La fuerza de los coros me estremece.

I met Ella Jenkins about 50+ years ago. I was a very young, very inexperienced preschool teacher. My director recommended that I go to a concert at Long Beach, CA City College. It was there that I was introduced to Ella. I didn't know she was famous but I did love her music and brought a lot of it back to my classroom. Over the years I came to know and love her even more. She is one tough gal.
You can tell you guys didn't just fall off the boat in the missippi. Such a cool song. Done so well.
Beautiful
@4:10 Radio station WARL of Arlington, Virginia used that call sign from 1946 to 1961 when it became WAVA at 780 AM on the dial.
Good song
What a lovely song. It reminds me of the Waldorf songs from my childrens school. ❤
A happy song on a good day!❤🐸🐸🪿🐝
