The Two Poor Boys were an American, Tennessee based, folk-blues duo consisting of Joe Evans and Arthur McLain (or McClain) who recorded between 1927 and 1931. Their songs typically featured Evans' laid-back vocals, with a musical approach based on âÂÂbeautifully matched guitar and mandolin accompanimentâÂÂ. On some records they were listed under the pseudonyms, 'Colman and Harper'. Between the two of them, they played an array of instruments including guitar, kazoo, piano, mandolin and violin.
