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 Roots Music Rambler, Falls shared a bit of a cathartic realization that musical artists we don’t necessarily care for because of attitude or behavior may just be in line for some forgiveness down the road. Falls says he ignored and avoided Oasis for years because in the 1990s Noel and Liam Gallagher came off as royal pricks. But a random video of Noel listening to James Bay cover one of his songs 25 years later changed his perspective.

So, Falls got on Jeremy Marshall from @hollerheadmusic about a band named Hollerhead being in Western Kentucky, where he sarcastically claims, “There aint’ no hollers.” But it turns out that’s not where the band’s name came from.
The story is way more interesting than that.
Hear the full explanation and lots more about the Alt-Country band’s evolution and new music coming by listening or watching the full episode.

The latest episode of Roots Music Rambler is live! This week we sit in and chat with Jeremy and Della Marshall from @hollerheadmusic. We asked Jeremy about the “Alt-Country” label his band often gets, but even he can’t specify a musical genre.
Hear more from him and Della, who joined us from their paradise-like land in Almo, Ky., to talk about a new album, playing festivals and more.
Plus Frank and Falls discuss artists they don’t like because of non-musical behaviors, and, of course, pick artists they do like and recommend to you in the Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment. (We think @loganmacmusic and @meelsmusic will like our picks!)
