When a band’s first album drops, it’s exciting. When it shoots up to a top three position on the charts – any chart for that matter – something is happening. That’s exactly what is happening to Ramona & The Holy Smokes whose eponymous debut album landed at No. 3 on the Alt Country Specialty Chart…
A new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops tomorrow! This week we talk country and alt-country music with Ramona Martinez from @ramonaandtheholysmokes! Their new album is charting on multiple charts, even reached No. 3 on the Alt-Country Speciality Chart right out of the gate.
Ramona talked to us about her diverse musical background that led to her becoming a country artist in the show.
Frank and Falls also share Pickin’ the Grinnin’ choices and talk about country music radio from years gone by.
Be sure to visit rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the show on YouTube or find it on your favorite podcast app. The episode drops tomorrow morning.

We learned a lot talking to the amazing @brittaylormusic on Roots Music Rambler for the second time this week. (She was episode 16 way back in February of 2024). She joined us to talk about her new single, (maybe) new album, playing Bourbon & Beyond while 8 months pregnant, and of course, the coming state of motherhood. (She and husband Adam Chaffins are due any day now.)
Another thing we learned, because we asked, is who she listens to when she’s not making or performing music. Nice list including Jake Worthington, Maggie Rose and the classic Kentucky country folks.
Check out the full episode on YouTube, RootsMusicRambler.com or wherever you get podcasts.
Frank and Falls also talk about artists they haven’t seen live they would like to and have their usual Pickin’ the Grinning’ recommendations for new music this week.

On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, the amazing @brittaylormusic joins us to talk bout being a pregnant badass at Bourbon & Beyond, impending motherhood, her new single (maybe new album) and a lot more. We asked her if she listens to other artists for inspiration. She explained that’s what got her stuck for many years. So no.
Taylor is the first repeat guest on RMR as well, and we are tickled to have her back. Check out the full episode on YouTube, RootsMusicRambler.com or wherever you get podcasts.
