About this listen

 Mike's new album is called The Sound of Muscle Shoals. He's waited almost 20 years to round up the next generation of Swampers and record at the world-famous FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. Wow - was it worth the wait? Mike Farris lives and sings The Sound of Muscle Shoals. The sound is a mix of blues, soul and country. The NY Times called it Indigenous American Music. The same sound that came from Etta, Aretha, Boz, Paul Simon, Wilson Pickett, Neil Young, Percy Sledge, Bob Dylan, Peter Gabriel, The Staple Singers and many more. Long before heading for FAME studios, Mike had to clean up his life, and he talks about hitting rock bottom. That's when his wife said, "We're going to do something different this time. We'll start by talking about the why's. Why, when you start getting successful, you self-destruct?" Mike said, "That scared the hell out of me." Mike is many years clean now, and he's riding the Slow Train to Muscle Shoals. Enjoy The Sound of Mike Farris!!
