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.

Hear the full episode in which Wayne tells us about his new album and a lot more.Plus Frank and Falls discuss Morgan Wallen’s Grammy ignorance and share their Pickin’ the Grinnin picks of the week.

On the latest Roots Music Rambler, Sparkle Carcass frontman Cody Palmer tells us some great stories. How the band got its name, the band’s brand new album (dropped Friday) called Maraschino Chevy and tales of his wife and mother.
As we always do, we asked how our guest approaches songwriting. Cody has a pretty straightforward but smart process.

The latest episode of Roots Music Rambler is live! Sparkle Carcass’s Cody Palmer joins us to talk everything from Jock Jams to eavesdropping on new moms.
His band dropped a brand new album Friday called Maraschino Chevy which we love. One member of Sparkle Carcass in addition to Cody is his wife Reilly Downes. She also has a band, of which he is a member and contributor. So we asked him how they balance it all.
Frank and Falls also share picks of the week in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment, and for some reason, we hear a little bit about Falls’s feet. (It’s not as bad as you might imagine.)
