Southern Rock is generally seen as a blend of Rock n’ Roll, Blues and Country & Western and all those influences are very evident on “Take It On Faith”, the new album from Rossington; more so than on most Southern Rock that I would listen to. I love Southern Rock music and enjoy listening to good Blues guitarists, but I’m not much of a Country & Western fan; though I probably know the words to all the Country classics on those albums that my mum and dad had! There can be no denying however that there is sometimes a grey area where classic Southern Rock and traditional Country & Western music co-exist. At times, for me, this album would fall into that grey area, but there is still plenty that I like. “Take It On Faith” was released by Loud & Proud Records on 4th November. I played the opening track “Highway of Love” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 11th November.

“Kingmaker” is the latest album from Danish rockers Pretty Maids and it was released on 4th November via Frontiers Records. The band was founded back in 1981 and unlike many of the bands from that era who are around today, they’ve managed to continue without taking a lengthy hiatus and have regularly released albums during each of the past 4 decades. That’s a pretty good achievement! I played the album’s title track “Kingmaker” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 28th October and “Civilized Monsters” on 11th November.
