## Resource

There are few things we love better at Roots Music Rambler than talking to an artist about their first album. As this episode drops (March 27), so will southern rocker Andy Thomas’s debut solo record Highway Junkie. Andy spent some time with Frank and Falls recently to talk about the album, his songs and songwriting and a lot more. Thomas is Virginia-born but now based in Florida. He played in a couple of different bands from the time he was a teenager, jamming with his father and brother, until his most recent projects with The Trongone Band and Yarn. The real story of Highway Junkie is that it came after Thomas realized drugs, alcohol and partying were holding him back. This record is the journey of his sobriety as much as anything. Frank and Falls also had a very animated and pointed critique of fans of Treaty Oak Revival fan behavior at recent concerts. They showed clips from TikTok of a recent Lexington, Ky., concert at Rupp Arena in which fans carried on an alarming new tradition of throwing towers of not empty beer cups in the air. It left fans and the arena floor doused with alcohol and Falls called it "embarrassing" for Lexington. And as always, the hosts offer their Pickin’ the Grinnin’ choices for music recommendations. This week, Frank points us to the song “Heavy” by Noah Guthrie, which resonated with both hosts. Falls shares singer-songwriter Michaela Anne, whom he saw open for Emily Scott Robinson in February.
