Let 'Er Go Boys represents Michael Cleveland in continued ascent, a 2006 album that builds on the promise of his debut and confirms his standing as the premier bluegrass fiddler of his generation. By this point Cleveland had accumulated National Fiddle Championship victories and IBMA awards, and the enthusiastic instruction of his title — aimed simultaneously at his bandmates and his audience — reflects the exuberant confidence of a musician who knows exactly what he can do. The album captures bluegrass fiddle at the highest competitive level while maintaining the dance-floor energy that connects the music to its origins as functional entertainment. Cleveland's recordings of this period raised the baseline expectation for what contemporary bluegrass fiddling could achieve.
