Founding INXS multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Andrew Farriss has just released a music video for the latest single from his 2021 self-titled debut solo album, the uplifting "You Are My Rock," which premiered Thursday exclusively on the CMT Music channel and at CMT.com.

The video features Farriss and his backing musicians performing the tune in the outback of his native Australia. The tune combines the country influences showcased throughout most of the album with some rock and gospel flavors.

As Farriss explains in a YouTube video clip, "'You Are My Rock' is the last track, and I wanted to deliberately leave it 'til the end because I wanted to, basically, kick a** at the end of the record. The song is about thanking people in your life for opportunities that are given to you, for people that support you."

He adds, "I'm simply saying thank you to everybody [for] listening to my album to get to the end of the song."

Farriss has a few upcoming U.S. performances lined up to promote his album, including on August 22 in Lexington, Kentucky, and on September 15 at the AmericanaFest event in Nashville.

Farriss co-wrote most of INXS' songs with the group's late original frontman, Michael Hutchence, including such big hits as "What You Need," "Need You Tonight," "Devil Inside," "New Sensation," "Never Tear Us Apart" and "Suicide Blonde."
