Biography
Rachel Farley was born on March 28, 1995, in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
At age 13, Farley began opening for Brantley Gilbert. She also sang background vocals on Gilbert's 2012 single "Kick It in the Sticks".{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/artists/rachel-farley/biography/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130501101651/http://www.cmt.com/artists/rachel-farley/biography/|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 1, 2013|title=Rachel Farley Bio - Rachel Farley Career|work=CMT Artists}}
She signed with Red Bow, a partnership of Broken Bow Records and RED Distribution, in 2012.{{cite web|url=http://www.musicrow.com/2012/10/broken-bow-and-red-launch-red-bow-records/|title=Broken Bow and RED Launch Red Bow Records|work=MusicRow - Nashville's Music Industry Publication - News, Songs From Music City|date=31 October 2012 }} Red Bow released her debut single, "Ain't Easy", in early 2013. Billy Dukes from Taste of Country gave the single a 3-star rating out of 5, saying that it "doesn't quite separate itself from the pack" but that it "will no doubt work as a live anthem".{{cite web|url=http://tasteofcountry.com/rachel-farley-aint-easy/|title=Rachel Farley, 'Ain't Easy' – Song Review|work=Taste of Country|date=24 February 2013 }} Ashley Cooke of Roughstock rated it 5 out of 5, saying that "There’s room for a new young female artist in Country Music and with her sassy, confident sound and rebellious demeanor, Farley may just have claimed that spot."
"Ain't Easy" was a minor Top 40 hit on the Billboard Country Airplay charts, reaching a peak of number 36. It was followed by "Midnight Road" later in 2013, which failed to chart, and Farley subsequently parted ways with Red Bow.
