Rachel Swain’s new album was driven by her lack of recorded memories of her mother’s voice

A brand new episode of Roots Music Rambler drops Friday — the very day that our guest’s debut album does too! @rachelswainmusic joined Frank and Falls this week to talk about the new album Neon Lullaby, her path from Texas to Chicago, and navigating the life of a singer-songwriter, mom, wife, teacher and more.

Rachel told us the drive to make this album was partially sparked by the fact her late mother, a powerful singer in her own right, never left recorded music behind before she passed.

Hear the full story, get Frank and Falls’s Pickin’ the Grinnin’ recommendations and ponder what artist you’d think is a good hang by watching or listening to the episode. It drops Friday morning on our YouTube channel, rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Jason Falls’s cathartic story of finding forgiveness for Oasis and Noel Gallagher

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.

Hear that story, our interview with @hollerheadmusic and a lot more on the latest episode drop! Find it at @rootsmusicrambler on YouTube, rootsmusicrambler.com or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Where Hollerhead’s band name came from.

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.
