Sophie Gault doesn’t like the singles-first focus of today’s music business

A new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops Friday and the amazing @sophie_gault joins Frank and Falls to talk about her new album Unhinged, the songs on it, songwriting, migrating to Nashville and much more.

Gault told us she’s more of an album musician rather than a singles focused one and doesn’t like the way the industry is evolving to focus on several singles coming out in slow drips to promote an album.

Hear the full interview Friday morning on the RMR YouTube Channel (@rootsmusicrambler) at rootsmusicrambler.com or where you listen to podcasts. (Go subscribe now so you don’t miss it!)

Roots Music Rambler Backstage with Josh Mitcham

Welcome to the first of hopefully many shorter episodes of Roots Music Rambler, we’re calling our Backstage with episodes. These are short interviews Frank and Falls are able to grab backstage (or just somewhere in person rather than on our virtual, longer-form interview episodes) and catch up briefly.

Our first such episode is with Josh Mitcham. The Breckenridge County, Kentucky native and farmer has a new solo album coming out in June called Gonna Be Alright. He’s dropped a couple of singles from the album already and the sound is a level up from previous work as he brought the Alabama Sound Company to the table to produce the album.

Josh is the former frontman for Jericho Woods and a 2026 Kentucky Music Hall of Fame Ambassador.

Falls caught him backstage at the Mercury Ballroom in early February, getting ready to open for Sundy Best. The two talked about the new songs and album, Josh’s approach to promoting the music and a lot more.
Find Josh Mitcham online at joshmitcham.com, on Spotify, Instagram and Facebook.
