As a veteran of the southern blues circuit, Mike Farris has asked that the spotlight be pulled off of him.  After 15 years of traveling from city to city, singing with acts such as The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies, Peaceful Knievel and even Stevie Ray Vaughn's Double Trouble, Mike has had his moments in the spotlight.  In 2004 Mike decided to step away from singing about his losses and instead sing of his redemption.  Passionate Gospel.  Emotional ‘60s Soul.  Jubilant New Orleans Dixieland.  Many times bridging the gaps between blues, soul and Gospel.  No matter where he ventures creatively with his talented lyrical writings and original arrangements, Mike always brings his focus back to the salvation that has changed his life.

Live CD","description":"Gospel soul-rocker Mike Farris follows up his successful 2007 comeback Salvation in Lights with live renditions of most of the songs included on it.  The studio tracks that sounded so sanctified receive extended treatments that aren't just longer, but are delivered with a joyous churchy spirit perfect for the subject matter.  The full title of the album credits Farris and the Roseland Rhythm Revue featuring the McCrary Sisters, a significant point because the band and backing singers add such vitality and enthusiasm to these blistering versions.  Regina McCrary's feisty tambourine is audible on every track and even gets its own solo on \"Regina's Tambourine.\"  These songs were cherrypicked from Farris' weekly gigs at Nashville's Station Inn club, an intimate venue that is turned into a revival tent when Farris and his band hit the stage.  A full horn section brings even more soul and jazz to the already energized proceedings, pushing the intensity heightened by the live adrenaline.  Farris is in fine fettle throughout, clearly inspired by his musicians and especially the harmonizing sisters.  The latter get their own showcase during the a cappella \"Dig a Little Deeper,\" a song from the Fairfield Four, the act their dad was a member of.  The entire backing ensemble gels on an eight-minute \"I'll Take You There\" that pays respect to the Staple Singers but raises the temperature on a cover that incorporates rock guitar along with call and response singing that approaches the original in sheer inspiration.  Even if this is a stopgap until Farris collects enough material for his next studio set, it's an exuberant, roof-raising document that shows the singer to be a committed and talented gospel vocalist unafraid to incorporate his rock and soul background into the genre without weakening or watering it down.  Together with a great band and a fired up audience, the effect is explosive. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: April 21, 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: INO Records \/ Columbia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 000768463222\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mike Farris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772264449,"sku":"Mike Farris (2)","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Mike_Farris_Shout_Live_CD.jpg?v=1753373336"},{"product_id":"farris-mike-silver-stone-cd","title":"Silver \u0026 Stone CD","description":"It's in the quiet moments sprinkled deftly throughout his new album, SILVER AND STONE, that Mike Farris reveals a previously hidden side of his singular instrument. His voice, widely known for it's power and range, becomes a vessel for something more subtle but infinitely more rare and challenging to capture-the pure, authentic nature of returning to your roots. Musically, the album delves deep into Farris' background with a wide range of influences, drawing as much from Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers as from Bon Scott and Steve Marriott. Farris' larger-than-life vocals, straight out of the South, sharpened in the clubs of New York City, honed over a lifetime of collaboration and stage time with the likes of Patty Griffin, Patti Austin, Double Trouble, and his own Roseland Rhythm Revue, deliver not only the funky danceable blues-rock that draws audiences to his live shows but also a deeper insight into Farris' hard-earned understanding of the complexities of the human condition. On SILVER AND STONE, Farris returns to his rock, soul and even country roots, making a break from the roots gospel he has been recognized for. (Farris' previous album SHINE FOR ALL THE PEOPLE won a GRAMMY for Best Roots Gospel Record in 2015.) Though there are definite spiritual tones, the new album is more a celebration of the people who most intimately surround him. SILVER AND STONE shows several different sides to Farris' prodigious talent. On \"Fingers Snaps\" and \"Are you Lonely For Me,\" he shows his sense of fun and whimsy, while on Bill Withers' \"Hope She'll Be Happier\" he digs deep and delivers a performance rich in emotion and passion. On \"Golden Wings,\" one of several Farris originals on the album and the lead single, he explores the universal challenge of overcoming life's obstacles and reaching beyond ourselves to find a place of compassion even in the midst of difficult circumstances. The album was produced by Compass Records co-founder Garry West and supported by a cast of top-flight musicians from across the Americana and soul spectrums including legendary drummer and 'Memphis Boy', Gene Chrisman, B3 master Reese Wynans (Double Trouble) and guitarists Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, John Hiatt) and Joe Bonamassa.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: September 7, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Compass Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 766397471822\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mike Farris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12993579712578,"sku":"Mike Farris (5)","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Mike_Farris_Silver_Stone_CD.jpg?v=1753373408"},{"product_id":"farris-mike-silver-stone-vinyl","title":"Silver \u0026 Stone Vinyl LP (150 gram)","description":"Double Vinyl LP edition of Silver \u0026amp; Stone, the 2018 release from Mike Farris.
