  • Description

    For The Sound of Muscle Shoals, Mike Farris's first album since 2018's Silver & Stone, Farris made the pilgrimage that many soul shakers and stirrers have made before him, across the O'Neal Bridge and over the Tennessee River, straight into the creative vortex of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and right up to the door of the legendary Fame Studios.

    The result of that pilgrimage is The Sound of Muscle Shoals. It's the culmination of all of Farris's musical influences and life lessons learned, captured in a location that holds deep meaning for him, in creative collaboration with members of the legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and other session stalwarts of 'The Shoals' recording scene: Clayton Ivey (keys), Will McFarlane, Kelvin Holly, Wes Sheffield(guitars), Jimbo Hart(bass), and Justin Holder(drums). Collectively, they capture lightning in a bottle, channeling the spirit of their musical forebearers.

    Overseen by award-winning executive producer Rodney Hall(son of legendary producer and record man Rick Hall), the new album conjures up the intrinsic magic of the Muscle Shoals sound on a set of songs that reflect on life's lessons, hard learned and hard-earned.
