Drayton Farley - A Hard up Life (2021)

Drayton is just starting out, but already his storytelling is beyond his years... his stories are critically important and personal. Drayton is from Woodstock, Alabama... no different than thousands of dying small towns in America.

With Drayton it is as if the choking out of rural life he has witnessed informs all his songs. That is why I say his songs are critically important and need to be heard. These stories are not covered by network news. They happen in the margins and thus are not important to the major news networks, but these issues are important to people of these communities. These people and places are Drayton Farley’s inspiration.” - Twangville (2020)
