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.
A new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops Friday! The talented singer-songwriter @dakotarayparker joins us to talk about his music, his path to writing music an a lot more.
Dakota had a wild and tumultuous childhood, but one that was largely free-range on a Kentucky farm with lots of animals. He told us about being flogged by a rooster once.

On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, @ohboyrecords recording artist @emilyscottrobinson joins us to talk about her brand new album Appalachia, her roots in music, and a lot more.
Her recent single “Dirtbag Saloon” has been climbing the Americana Music Association charts of late. She talked about how it was originally about Colorado, but could certainly be a place that applies to small town watering holes anywhere.
Falls gave her the assurance it was perfectly fine on an album called “Appalachia.”
