Declared a favorite modern songwriter by distinguishing music fans, Drayton Farley has taken inspiration from fellow Alabaman songwriters like Jason Isbell and amassed a song catalog that is the envy of many. When he released his acoustic album A Hard Up Life<\/em> in 2021 and it blew up like few expected, he helped light the spark of earnest, heartfelt roots rock singer songwriters that have brought soul back into the American music diet. <\/p>

A Heavy Duty Heart<\/em> will be Drayton Farley\u2019s latest album, set for release on March 17th via One Riot Records. Recorded live to tape in Nashville with Drayton\u2019s touring band, it will be produced once again by Sadler Vaden, best known as the guitar player for Jason Isbell\u2019s 400 Unit. A new song \u201cI\u2019ll Hold You\u201d accompanies the album announcement (listen below). <\/p>

\u201cThese songs mean a lot to me, top to bottom they\u2019re all true to life and from the heart,\u201d<\/em> Farley says. \u201cA few of them really tested me, a few of them feel like they just ran my way, and one of them I spent over a decade running away from. In the end, I couldn\u2019t love them more and I hope you\u2019ll love them too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Honesty is what Drayton Farley credits with his connection with audiences. \u201cI feel like if you\u2019re going to write about yourself and your life, then just write about the way it is,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Farley\u00a0says. \u201cThat honesty is going to translate. People are going to know when you\u2019re bullshitting them or not.\u201d<\/em><\/p>
