Jim Lauderdale & Po’ Ramblin’ Boys Release “Little Bitty Diamonds”

Jim Lauderdale & The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys Shine with New Single “Little Bitty Diamonds”

GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Jim Lauderdale teams up once again with the powerhouse traditional bluegrass band The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys for their latest single, “Little Bitty Diamonds”, available now to radio via Get It Played and for download/streaming on all digital music platforms.

“Little Bitty Diamonds” is a poignant and timeless song that blends Lauderdale’s rich storytelling with the Po’ Ramblin’ Boys’ signature energy and instrumental firepower. Written by Jim Lauderdale and Odie Blackmon, the track reflects on finding beauty and resilience in life’s most fragile moments.

“My friend Odie Blackmon brought this great jewel of a title and let me climb aboard the train,” says Lauderdale. “When the Po’ Ramblin’ Boys and I started recording, they took a shine to it, and everything fell into place as we started the record.”

Built around artful lyrics and evocative imagery — “Little bitty diamonds fall when she’s crying like there’s no tomorrow after yesterday, pretty little pain drops raining like they won’t stop, little bitty diamonds falling down her face” — the song delivers a classic bluegrass sound infused with Lauderdale’s signature lyrical and vocal prowess and The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys’ musical mastery.

Lyrics: “Little Bitty Diamonds”

Little bitty diamonds,
fall when she’s crying,
like there’s no tomorrow
after yesterday.
Pretty little pain drops,
raining like they won’t stop
Little bitty diamonds,
falling down her face

We’re all a collection
of perfect imperfections
She think she’s to blame
for everything gone wrong
Little bitty diamonds,
fall when she’s crying,
like there’s no tomorrow
after yesterday.

Somewhere somebody’s trying
to stop somebody crying
and help them see the treasure inside
Little bitty diamonds,
fall when she’s crying,
like there’s no tomorrow
after yesterday.
Pretty little pain drops,
raining like they won’t stop
Little bitty diamonds,
falling down her face
Little bitty diamonds,
falling down her face
