Roots Music Rambler is not designed to be a breaking news outlet, but don't tell Ben Chapman that. In our recent sit-down for Roots Music Rambler the Georgia-native and standout singer-songwriter dropped news item after news item. Chapman, who recently tied the knot with longtime girlfriend and fellow songwriter Meg McRee shared the news of their upcoming first child (which they'd already shared on social media), but then told of a new solo album coming up, plus a collaboration project with McRee, Brit Taylor and Adam Chafins. The foursome released “Gone as it Gets” three years ago. Apparently a 10-track LP from the group is due in early 2026! On his new solo album, Chapman said, “It's weird.” He likened it to Pink Floyd, but promised it wouldn't be a huge departure from what his fans have come to expect from him. Chapman's latest album is Downbeat. He's been touring in support of it for over a year now and has added up-and-coming performer to an already impressive songwriting resume which includes material recorded by Shelby Lynne, The Steel Woods, Flatland Cavalry and Muscadine Bloodline, among others. He's spent the better part of the last 6-7 years as a contract songwriter in Nashville, along with McCree, who is a frequent collaborator. We were thrilled to have him join us and excited at the news he wound up sharing. You'll enjoy this episodes.

8 years of volunteer and career experience. Currently a Lieutenant with Bullock County Fire Department in Georgia. Brian is no stranger when it comes to the phrase having to do more with less. When arriving on scene at a working structure fire as a company officer Brian has to give a size-up, establish command, pull a line, conduct a 360, team up with his driver and get after it. There are no excuses with Brian as to why you can't get anything done with what you have. Brian also experienced a tremendous loss within his family. I want the listeners to really listen and focus to what occurred and ask yourself whether you make the decisions within your organization or not are you able to look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you do everything in your power to be the best Firefighter and version of yourself?IG: mcree68

“Cash is King!” It's not a phrase, but a crucial component in order to keep our civil liberties in America. Using cash in our daily lives gives us freedom, says certified public accountant and author David McRee. David contends that Americans should cling tightly to their dollar bills and explains how digital transactions leave a trail of metadata that the government can use to track your every move and predict your behavior. David believes that the U.S. will eventually be a cashless society, although the process might take some time. Cash offers freedom because it provides transactional privacy. Once all transactions are electronic, financial institutions will completely control your life, this CPA warns. David also discusses ways to push back on the cashless agenda. TAKEAWAYS Having cash is like having a “wild card” because the government can't track that money or control it It is wiser to focus on paying off any credit card debt you may have before investing in gold Banks and financial institutions monitor cash transactions that exceed $10,000 The War on Cash is David's examination of how banks and the government want to eliminate cash and control our every move
