Grammy-winner Mike Farris’ upcoming release, The Sound of Muscle Shoals, finds the Nashville artist releasing his first album jointly through Alabama imprint Fame Records and Mississippi’s Malaco Records. He has already released a lyric video for “Heavy On The Humble,” the first single from the album.

For his follow-up to 2018’s Silver & Stone, Farris made the pilgrimage to Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama for an album overseen by Executive Producer Rodney Hall (son of Producer and record man Rick Hall). The album is “the culmination of all of his musical influences and life lessons learned, captured in a location that holds deep meaning for him.”

Hall says:

Working with Mike Farris on This album has been an incredible journey—his soul, grit, and passion embody everything that makes this music timeless. Capturing that spirit in the place where it all began and releasing it on FAME Records is a full-circle moment for Muscle Shoals music. This album is not just a tribute to the sound; it’s a living, breathing testament to its future.

Recorded in creative collaboration with members of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and others, the album features Clayton Ivey (keys), Will McFarlane, Kelvin Holly, Wes Sheffield (guitars), Jimbo Hart (bass), and Justin Holder (drums).
