Welcome to RootsnBlues.com, the musical playground of Troy Mumm.  I've been exploring roots music for over 20 years, through my years at college (KVSC), community (KRCL) and now Internet (UtahFM.org) radio.  This is place for me and friends to collect music, photos, videos and thoughts that celebrate the roots of American music - blues, country, gospel, cajun, zydeco, rhythm and blues, and more - in all its forms and across generations.  Explore, connect and enjoy.

    Written by Troy Mumm
    Down Home Shakedown Playlist - Zoe Muth This week on the Down Home Shakedown on UtahFM.org, we played a whole stack of new music.  The Black Lillies got a few spins, I've been enjoying that new CD.  I continue to love the new release from Those Darlin's - that one makes me feel like summer, despite the…

    This Weeks Playlist and Bow Thayer Lots of new music this week on The Down Home Shakedown.  The new CD from Gregg Allman is nice, acoustic blues treat, from one of real legends of rock.  Glad to see him returning to his roots. However, the album that really stuck out for me this week is the…
