Enjoy “music with dirt on its feet and sweat on its back.”
Mike Farris’ songs are ancient, a marriage of traditional black gospel, 70s Stax soul and southern blues. Farris’ undeniable voice, his skillful arrangements and, perhaps most of all, the joy and passion with which he delivers both, breathe new life into long-forgotten spirituals and vintage-originals. “It’s music with dirt on its feet and sweat on its back,” says Farris. He’s one of the most powerful and emotional singers around, backed by the stirring vocals of The McCrary Sisters — Ann, Regina and Alfreda — daughters of Sam McCrary, a member of the a cappella gospel group The Fairfield Four.
