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.
On this week’s episode of Roots Music Rambler, @corduroybrownwv tells us all kinds of stories behind his “feel-good Appalachian rock” music. We were curious, though, for people outside the region, what exactly makes his music “Appalachian?”
Frank and Falls also talk Tyler Childers pop-ups and have recommendations of new music for you in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment.
