Drayton Farley just created a masterpiece.
After the Alabama released a number of stellar singles like “Above My Head” and “Norfolk Blues,” we knew this project had potential to be one of the top albums of the year…
And it’s only March.
The aspect of Farley’s music that sets him apart from the rest, is the fact he sings about the difficult, honest conversations that many artists tend to avoid.
From his frustrations with the current world we live in, to personal battles, and full blown fictional stories that feel like they could happen in your own backyard, Farley is about as raw and authentic as it gets.
Seriously, it’s like you can feel the emotion and honesty with every song he sings, which proves just how personal each song is to Farley.
With that being said, he officially dropped his latest album, and first full band album I should add, Twenty on High today.
Farley expressed his excitement for the new record, calling it his “best work yet:”
“My new album, ‘Twenty on High’ will serve as my breakout record and I believe these ten new songs to be my absolute best work yet. This album will be my first ever full band release. The goal was to keep the songs honest and true and their stories at the forefront.
To have the music serve the song but still make a record that would stand the test of time. I believe that’s exactly what we’ve done here and I couldn’t be prouder.”
Produced by Sadler Vaden, who has also done work with Morgan Wade, the project was recorded at Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.
Give it a listen, you won’t regret it.
Here are a few of my favorites:
