A regular recap highlighting some of my favourite album releases each month. I don’t do “reviews” – this is simply a few words about the albums that appeal to me and about the artists releasing them. Tracks from these albums will have been featured on the Friday NI Rocks Shows over the past few months. This month we focus on new albums from Tremonti, Bonfire and The Ferrymen.

Rising Country-Rock star Cory Marks released his third album, “Sorry For Nothing” through Better Noise Music on 6th December. He also recently announced a concert date for The Cathouse in Glasgow on 18th March, following on from a short tour of Europe and an appearance at C2C in London.
I managed to arrange a Zoom call with Cory on 16th January to chat about the new album, the upcoming tour and his musical career to date. You can listen to that interview on the Friday NI Rocks Show uploaded on 17th January
