Release Notes:

He's the former leader of a band called the
Screamin' Cheetah Willies who also once fronted the
late Stevie Ray Vaughan's rhythm section, Double
Trouble, and on his second solo album Mike Farris
tells a rousing tale of redemption.

Fittingly, gospel is the form the recovering
substance abuser uses on "Salvation in Lights." Like
the "Seeger Sessions" Springsteen, Farris bends
standards his way -- transforming "Precious Lord,
Take My Hand" into grooving, horn-filled R&B; taking
"Can't No Grave Hold My Body Down" to the swamp; and
adding his own words to "I'll Take You There." He
alternates these with originals like "Devil Don't
Sleep" and "I'm Gonna Get There" that are as strong
and impassioned as his vocals -- at times he recalls
the late blue-eyed-soul great Eddie Hinton. The
result is a set that does indeed take you there --
stirring both body and spirit and reaffirming the
transcendent power of gospel.
