INXS chief songwriter Andrew Farriss has turned to Americana for his debut solo album. The as-yet-untitled collection arrives in May, but first single Good Momma Bad (out now) is a taste of the Nashville sound to come.
“I really appreciate the very positive encouragement and support I’ve received from the country community during the recording and songwriting process” he says. “I loved writing this album. As a songwriter, I’ve always been a fan of country music, particularly old-school country and western, cowboy songs and country rock. I wanted to include the fusion of country, folk, rock, funk and blues, blended with country music instruments, and with the emphasis on recording live in the studio wherever possible.”
