Australian songwriter Andrew Farriss’ self-titled country music album may be his debut solo offering, but it has been years in the making. An industry stalwart with more than three decades of accolades under his belt, Andrew is most well-known for the plethora of hits he penned for his band INXS, but it is with the rhythm influenced track ‘Come Midnight’ that he harks back to his early roots, keeping firm to his ethos of it always being about the music.
With INXS, Andrew shared success of more than 50,000,000 records sold, Grammy nominations and an induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
Recorded between his home-studio and Nashville, his debut album embodies the old-school country vibe that Andrew envisioned. The country-rock-folk feel is fitting for a musician who has actually spent the past two and half decades living on the land, on a functioning cattle and grain farm in North-West New South Wales. The genre also suits the storytelling style that Andrew is embracing. This album is sure to become another part of his storied legacy with fans old and new.
