Adam Chaffins doubles down on Trailer Trash with Doublewide

Adam Chaffins has spent more than a decade and a half in Nashville, playing in bands, picking up tours with other artists, writing, producing and occasionally releasing an album, several singles and, last year, an EP. Sure, he also happened upon fellow Kentuckian Brit Taylor, whom he married along the way. Adam plays in her band, co-writes and produces some of her work. But 2026 is proving to be worth the weight, ups and downs of the journey. On August 21st, his 2025 EP Trailer Trash gets a full, deluxe re-release as an album (brilliantly called Trailer Trash - Doublewide). One week later, Adam Chaffins will make his solo debut on The Grand Ole Opry. Chaffins joined Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about that long journey to what many think is the ultimate success in country music, his album, background, family and more. Among the stories he told included the experience of playing with Billy Strings, writing with Adam Wright and the truly charmed life he seems to be living. Oh, and we’re pretty sure Adam is eclipsing the popularity of Memphis, his ornery goat that often appears in his Instagram videos. Frank and Falls also celebrate the first two Roots Music Rambler haters – at least the first two blatant comments we deemed negative. It’s a sure sign the show has finally made it. Someone out there took time out of their day to tell us we suck! (We love it!) And this week’s Pickin’ the Grinnin’ choices have personal connections to each of our hosts. Frank chose her boss’s son’s band The Dead Bolts. Falls brags on Gracie Yates and Brock Burton, the former of whose mother and father helped advise him on a recent ripoff ploy on a car repair.  It’s a Kentucky thing?
