Frank & Falls discuss the Jason Isbell controversy with Justin Townes Earle’s widow

On the latest episode of Roots Music Rambler, Frank and Falls talk about the recent controversy around Jason Isbell’s When We Were Close which struck an emotional public outcry from Justin Townes Earle’s widow. Hear what they had to say when you download or stream the episode available now wherever you get your podcasts.

The guest this week is even more interesting as RMR welcomes Son Volt guitarist John Horton (formerly of The Bottle Rockets) to talk about St. Louis and the Mesopotamia formative days of the Alt Country movement.

The episode also features Francesca Folinazzo’s recap of her recent Mecca-like journey to Belleville, Illinois, the home of the birth of Uncle Tupelo. And she and Jason Falls will share their regular Pickin’ the Grinnin’ recommendations for new music.

It’s an Alt Country-centric episode! Dial it up, gang!
