Sterling Drake is a Florida raised ranch hand who now hangs his hat in the mountains of western Montana. Drake lives the life & vividly depicts said life by way of his songs. The band is phenomenal. Throughout the 6 songs on Highway 200, Drake touches on it all. Singing & telling stories of working hard to hardly get by – whether that’s the love of his life or love for the tavern. A living wage vs. living it up. Working on the ranch and out on the road… & the journey it takes to somehow make it all work.
“Burning the candle at both ends”
Drake appropriately pays homage to classic country music in a variety of ways. Like a young Willie Nelson turning out sad songs & waltzes, a touch of swing, cattle calls & honky tonk grease fires. At just over 20 minutes long there is absolutely no reason you shouldn’t give Highway 200 a listen… Over & over and over again. It starts out terrific and yet still tends to get better each time. Follow the clicks to @sterlingxdrake’s bio for that pre-save! Grateful for the early listen. Color me lucky.
