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.
The new album from George Ducas, Long Way From Home, was produced by legendary producer Pete Anderson. The guitar maestro and engineer of much of Dwight Yoakam’s early career success, has taken George and his new album under his wing.
George told the story of connecting to Pete for the album which dates back the pandemic. Ducas joined Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about the album, Anderson, his journey through 30 years of writing and recording and more.
He even graced the podcast with a song, playing the first song he ever wrote (at age 11). Find it at rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
