“Rolling Home” captures the emotional pull between ambition and belonging — the dream of leaving, the ache of distance, and the realization that home may hold more meaning than the world beyond it first promised.
“Rolling Home” arrives as part of an already unfolding album campaign for The Prospector, with six of the album’s 12 songs now released and a growing visual component that includes official music videos for six tracks, along with a lyric video. Together, the releases point toward a record built on movement, memory, observation, and the universal search for home, truth, love, and meaning.
“I chose ‘THE PROSPECTOR’ as my album title because of the 12 songs on the album, especially the lyrics and the many references made to searching for things in life … whether you are searching for gold physically or for the gold in heartfelt meaningful relationships with others,” he says.
That introspection runs through the album’s themes of observation, truth, love, hardship, and hope.
“A lot of inspiration for the lyrics and songwriting on The Prospector album was drawn from observing the lives of people and cultures, the awesome power of our Earth, our home and the politics of modern media,” Farriss says. “Sometimes if you don’t look, or you cannot look, you can’t see what’s really happening around you.”
Across the record, Farriss’ perspective is both grounded and searching — shaped by decades of songwriting, international experience, and the rhythm of life on his New South Wales farm, where he writes between touring, family life, and seasons.
In 2024, he reached a major solo milestone when he made his Grand Ole Opry debut, with Keith Urban appearing as a special guest during his performance (12/14/24). Farriss will return to the Opry stage on Friday, July 10th to celebrate the release of The Prospector.
