Chicagoan Francesca Folinazzo (Frank) founded Roots Music Rambler as a music and travel blog in a pre-pandemic world. COVID killed events and travel plus her desire to play her banjo. Falls texted her in 2023 and said, 'Let's bring it back as a podcast!' He was raised on John Prine, babysat on Waylon Jennings and taught to drink and cuss the proper, mountain way. He hails from Pikeville, Ky., the birthplace of Dwight Yoakum, whose annual festival is Hillbilly Days.
Kimmi Bitter’s album Old School is perhaps one of the best new albums of 2024. The singer-songwriter sat in with Jason Falls and Francesca Folinazzo on Roots Music Rambler this week. Falls had a polite bone to pick with Bitter and offered up the appropriate pronunciation of the word “Appalachia.”
(It’s “apple-atcha”!!!)
Fortunately, she took it as intended and all is well.
