“If you close your eyes when you’re listening to Farris’s new album, The Sound of Muscle Shoals, you’d swear you’re listening to Clarence Carter, Wilson Pickett, or Joe South.” —NO DEPRESSION

“Eleven tracks of soul and gospel inspired rock. The album, recorded at FAME Studios, has roots so deep in the soil of the Delta that is seems a sure bet for a Grammy nomination.” —OKRA MAGAZINE

” Employing Alabama’s finest session players, vocalists and horn section, and fronted by Farris’ billowing vocals, it’s more than a worthy tribute to the setting where Aretha Franklin, The Staple Singers and Wilson Pickett, to name but a few, recorded some classic soulful songs.” — LONESOME HIGHWAY

“Few vocalists can bring the sheer power and passion of Mike Farris… an album with one great song after another.” —GLIDE MAGAZINE

“The Sound of Muscle Shoals fills the heart with original, beaming spirit. In every sense, Mike Farris’s voice will rock your soul. The album stands as his most accomplished work to date for its songs, and their presentation.”
