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 the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, @jasonfalls shares his experiences from this year’s @railbirdfestival. He got to take both his kids (@grantfalls and @kat.falls) to see @timmytychilders for their first time. And they knew when “Follow You to Virgie” came on to be there for dad.
Listen to the full episode and hear that story, plus more about Railbird and hear out chat with the amazing singer-songwriter @loganmacmusic. Find it on our YouTube channel (@rootsmusicrambler), at rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

The latest episode of Roots Music Rambler is a songwriter’s dream! We get stories and insights from @loganmacmusic including this one about his new long “West Wyoming” which he said he wasn’t happy with until he brought in some co-writers (@wyattbaker_official and @hunter__arnold) who knew rodeo better than he did.
They worked together to make the song more authentic.
Hear that story and many more sad and happy by listening to the full episode at rootsmusicrambler.com, on our YouTube channel or listen wherever you get podcasts.

This week’s episode of Roots Music Rambler has Frank and Falls visiting with Oklahoma singer-songwriter @loganmacmusic. The two both saw Mac at the Crossroads Acoustic Fest in April.
Frank was reduced to snot crying over Logan’s song “Redbird.” She explained why in the show’s prelude before the interview. Logan told us a lot more gripping details behind the song and his own freak-outs when singing it. Definitely a must-listen episode.
