Where there are people, there is music. In our celebration of melodies and lyrics, harmonies and riffs, we typically focus on the songs or the people who wrote them. We often overlook the where. Join Francesca and Falls for Roots Music Rambler, a podcast exploration of the where as much as the who or what. We’ll interview emerging and established artists, fans and others in Americana, Outlaw Country, Bluegrass, Blues, Roots, Soul, World and beyond. But we will always get to the stories of where they’re from and how that impacted the music we know and love. It’s more than just their influences. It’s their families. Communities. Cultures. This show is a fun combination of music, travel, history and more. We dig into the stories from artists, musicians, songwriters, producers, fans and beyond, that don’t just expose their musical influences, but their life influences. Music follows the path of human movement. We trace the steps to bring better understanding to what we hear today and why we love it. Join us for the exploration of the real roots of music on Roots Music Rambler.2023-present, Roots Music Rambler Música

  • Chicago dive bar country staple Sparkle Carcass drops new record Maraschino Chevy

    Chicago dive bar country staple Sparkle Carcass drops new record Maraschino Chevy
    Oct 17 2025
    Long-time listeners of Roots Music Rambler will recognize the name of the band Sparkle Carcass. They happen to be one of Francesca Folinazzo’s favorite Chicago-based bands she sees play live frequently. And to their credit, they are well-known in the windy city as an alt-country, dive bar sorta crew. Well, Cody Palmer and crew today released their second studio album and he joined us on Roots Music Rambler to talk about it. The LP is called Maraschino Chevy and brings out their honky-tonk, beer-slingin’, toe-tappin’ sound nicely. Palmer joined Frank and Falls to talk about the album, his songwriting process, a musical mom whose healthy rivalry with him helped form his work and a lot more. He talked about how he and wife (and band member) Reilly Downes balance their independent musical projects while participating in one another’s and a lot more. We also talk about Sparkle Carcass’s first Maraschino Chevy single “Sippin’ on a Cool One” which was originally released by a band called Rollin’ Country around 1977. But Palmer has never been able to find the band for proper credit or acknowledgement. So if you know them or of them, reach out to us at ramblers@rootsmusicrambler.com and we’ll connect the dots! Also on this episode, Falls shares a social media conversation with artist Lance Rogers and Bill Taylor that helped crystallize his purpose in doing this podcast, his radio show, and beyond. And he and Frank share their picks for new music to listen to in our Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment.

  • The Last Revel back with new Dave Simonett-produced album Gone for Good

    The Last Revel back with new Dave Simonett-produced album Gone for Good
    Oct 10 2025
    Just a few short years ago, Minneapolis-based folk rock band The Last Revel may have been on its last leg. Co-founder and guitarist Lee Henke was burned out and needed a break. Fortunately, he went on the all-too-familiar journey of burned out musicians, found space, and therapy, which led him back to the band after the pandemic. Soon after, they released Dovetail, which was what he called the “happiest” record of the band’s 15-year career. Now they’re back with a second post-hiatus offering called Gone for Good. And no, the title doesn’t infer a farewell album. In fact, the band is in as good a place as it has been after working with Trampled By Turtles frontman Dave Simonett, who produced the new offering. Henke, fellow co-founder Ryan Acker and fiddle mainstay Vinnie Donatelle all three joined us on Roots Music Rambler to talk about the ups and downs of the last five years, the new album, how the band came together and much more. Henke shared his journey away from, and back to the band, and each offered up their perspective on working with Simonett and more. Also on this episode, Frank and Falls share their picks for new music to listen to in our Pickin’ the Grinnin’ segment and each shares what band they would most likely be members of based on their own assessment of their personalities. (Not to mention, we learn of one of Falls’s pet peeves.)

  • Los Gallos offers mix of Mexican traditional music with country, rock and blues

    Los Gallos offers mix of Mexican traditional music with country, rock and blues
    Sep 26 2025
    Chicago-based Los Gallos is a perfect example of the blending of culture in Americana music. Their Mexican and Puerto Rican family backgrounds manifested in first-generation American players who grew up on country and rock radio in the U.S. has resulted in perhaps one of the most interesting bands we’ve heard in a while. Their music is a mix of English and Spanish language songs that range from traditional Mexican sounds to country singer-songwriter approaches. Watch the Episode on YouTube Ric Salazar and Henry Fajardo from the band joined us on Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about their path to music, the influences their family and upbringing had on it, and the unique blend of songs that make up their diverse portfolio of sounds. And, because we don’t miss an opportunity on Roots Music Rambler, Frank did corner the guys to ask where to find the best tacos in Chicago. Frank and Falls talk about some change to Roots Music Rambler (we’re back on full video now) and Falls shares his latest venture, Appalachian Echoes, which is a great companion and compliment to the show. Plus they offer their regular weekly Pickin’ the Grinnin’ picks of new music for your listening pleasure.
