American Aquarium’s Road Trip to Raleigh.

Thursday, February 22, 2024 By Chip Frazier

Upon leaving the third and last night of American Aquarium’s Road Trip to Raleigh, one conclusion was obvious. B.J. Barham really knows how to throw a party. In fact, more than a party, it is a festival. Other bands do special weekend events to be sure, but Barham to his credit goes deep into his […]

Chip’s Best of 2023

Wednesday, January 03, 2024 By Chip Frazier

Jason Isbell - Weathervanes (cover art)

I had the same problem with my year end rankings as always. There were at least 35 albums worthy of the top 25. As you can see that math only works for congressmen and poker hustlers. I focused the top 25 on Americana and Roots music. To have included Indie and Alternative would have been […]

Drayton Farley – Walk Home

Thursday, September 15, 2022 By Chip Frazier

Before I get into his excellent new EP, let me reflect on the near meteoric rise of singer-songwriter Drayton Farley. His is a true DIY story and proof that talent, not publicists, sometimes win the day. He started out recording in his home studio with no publicists or street team and no label. He persists […]

Drayton Farley- A Hard Up Life

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 By Chip Frazier

Drayton Farley has released a new album, “A Hard Up Life”. The songwriting is authentic and has great depth. He has become one of my favorite songwriters, and certainly needs to be recognized as so many other Alabama born musicians have been recognized the last decade or so. Farley if from Woodstock, Alabama; a dying […]

Under the Radar: Drayton Farley “Sweet Southern Sadness” Interview

Wednesday, August 12, 2020 By Chip Frazier

One of the things we love to do at Twangville is introduce our readers to artists that are just starting out. These under the radar artists are a big part of why I joined the Twangville posse. This week I was able to sit down and interview Drayton Farley about his new EP “Sweet Southern […]
