We’ve talked to artists who focus on singles and others who focus on albums. This week’s episode of Roots Music Rambler features southern rocker @the_andythomas whose debut solo album Highway Junkie is out now.

Southern rocker @the_andythomas is our guest this week on Roots Music Rambler! His debut solo album Highway Junkie dropped yesterday. The album is full of banger tunes and autobiographical stories well worth hearing.
Andy told us about writing the songs for the album which is different than how he started writing songs. He figured out it has to be about the hook!

EPISODE DROP!!!! The awesome singer-songwriter-guitar-rockin @the_andythomas joins us this week on Roots Music Rambler! His brand new solo album — and debut solo album — dropped today as well and we got first crack at chatting with him about Highway Junkie!
Andy told us he moved to Florida from Virginia and was trying to make it big in music, but something was holding him back. It turned out to be drugs and alcohol, which he’s now put aside and made that record happen.
