GRAMMY-nominated East Tennessee bluegrass group The Po’ Ramblin Boys will release their next album, Wanderers Like Me on Smithsonian Folkways. A look back at the band’s ten years since they formed as a house band in Tennessee, and the struggles and triumphs that have come since, the album is their first-ever made with an outside producer, Woody Platt, and features more original work than any of their albums to date.

Session players are valued for their supreme taste and versatility, their way of making every record date they do come alive. John “JR” Robinson is at the top of that heap. From his pithy drum intros alone, you know the songs: “Rock with You” by Michael Jackson, “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood. On these and scores of other major pop songs, by such artists as Bonnie Raitt, Peter Cetera, Peter Frampton, Lady Gaga, Daft Punk and a dictionary-sized list of others, JR has left an indelible imprint.
