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.
There are few things we love better at Roots Music Rambler than talking to an artist about their first album. As this episode drops (March 27), so will southern rocker Andy Thomas’s debut solo record Highway Junkie. Andy spent some time with Frank and Falls recently to talk about the album, his songs and songwriting…
A new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops tomorrow and guest aside (who is awesome) you’ll wanna watch and listen because @jasonfalls had a few choice words for @treatyoakrevival fans in Lexington, Ky.
Now that aside, this week’s interview happens to be @the_andythomas, whose debut solo album also drops tomorrow. And it’s a banger!
We talk to Andy about his album, the songs, songwriting, his journey from family band rockin’ in Virginia to getting sober in Florida and all the things in between.
Look for the full episode tomorrow morning on the RMR YouTube channel (search for Roots Music Rambler there), online at rootsmusicrambler.com or listen wherever you get podcasts.
