David Davis & The Warrior River Boys have long been recognized as contemporary leaders in the traditional bluegrass music scene. On their latest release Didn't He Ramble: Songs of Charlie Poole, they expand their base to include earlier influences of folk and acoustic music roots. Through a masterful and exciting collection of songs, originally recorded by the legendary Charlie Poole and his North Carolina Ramblers in the 1920s and 1930s, a generation before Bill Monroe is credited with founding bluegrass music, they show that you can create music that is both fresh and timeless. This album is greater than a simple tribute; The Warrior River Boys have reinvigorated this music, in a new form, with all the fire and energy of the originals. They take the legacy another step further, into the contemporary revival of traditional bluegrass. Didn't He Ramble: Songs of Charlie Poole not only breathes new life into Poole's work, but brings a spirit of fun that is as infectious as the music itself!
