Singer, songwriter, and guitarist Rick Faris welcomes his milestone 40th birthday by unveiling his latest single, “On The Right Track.” Available now on all streaming platforms, the track sets the tone for Faris’s upcoming fourth solo album on Dark Shadow Recording, slated for June.
Co-writer Rick Lang speaks to the creative partnership he shares with Faris: “I love writing songs with Rick, we have such good chemistry. He has a great mind for lyric, and a great feel for melody and rhythm. With ‘On The Right Track,’ we were shooting for an up-tempo, straight-ahead ‘real deal’ bluegrass number. The story line is a familiar one—trying to salvage a troubled relationship. We could not be happier with the way it turned out.”
The single features Faris on lead vocals and guitar, alongside acclaimed artists Dan Tyminski (mandolin), Ron Block (banjo), Laura Orshaw (fiddle), Mark Schatz (bass), Justin Moses and Stephen Mougin on harmony vocals, with Mougin also producing, engineering, and mixing the track. Mastering was handled by David Glasser.
Faris just wrapped up recording his fourth solo album for Dark Shadow Recording, promising an exciting next chapter following the success of his 2022 release. Fans can look forward to his signature blend of heartfelt songwriting and virtuosic musicianship in June.
