About this episode
Drayton Farley is a singer and songwriter from Alabama whose most recent record Twenty On High continues to be a favorite of Marinators everywhere. Twenty on High was produced by Marinade guest Sadler Vaden who of course plays guitar in Jason Isbell's 400 Unit. The Alabama native cut his teeth playing open mics while working on the railroad and went on to become one of the favorite songwriters of your favorite songwriters. We caught up with Drayton at Laurel Cove Festival just outside of Pineville, KY, for a conversation about his connection to fans, the production touch of Sadler Vaden, the importance of a familial support system, and so much more.
