It’s not often Rolling Stone compares a singer-songwriter to John Prine. But they did just that when they heard “Steelhead Trout” by Margo Cilker. The Oregon-based artist’s first two albums have turned her into an emerging star in the Americana music scene.
She joined Roots Music Rambler recently to talk about her rise to fame, her songwriting, touring with the likes of Hayes Carll, Drive-By Truckers and American Aquarium and a lot more.
In this segment, Cilker talks about her song Tehachapy and other inspirations in her music.
On the full episode, Falls also talks about his new favorite TikTok account (@rockabuyrecords) and its protagonist (Dean) who is Falls’s new hero. Falls also shares his first take on Dwight Yoakam’s new album Brighter Days.
