_{James Christian is probably best known as the lead singer of HOUSE OF LORDS, a band that I’m a big fan of, and I knew I was gonna love this album before I even gave it a listen. The album was actually released by Frontiers Records at the start of July so I’m slightly late in publishing this recommendation, but that at least means you’ve no excuse not to go and at least give it a listen – and preferably buy a copy!}

_{“Lay It All On Me” is the third solo album from the House of Lords frontman and fellow band members BJ Zampa and Jimi Bell also make an appearance, along with Christian’s wife Robin Beck. My favourite tracks would include “Sacred Heart”, “Day In The Sun”, “Sincerely Yours” and “Shot in the Dark”}

_{About “NI Rocks Recommends”}

_{I'm not a reviewer but wanted to acknowledge some of the great music being submitted to Rock Radio NI by artists, promoters and labels both within and outside of N Ireland. That was the idea behind “NI Rocks Recommends”. I'm not giving marks or ratings, trying to categorise bands or compare artists. The albums that I’ll be recommending would be those I’d buy myself, so there’ll be a strong focus on “classic rock” sounds; however you wish to define that! What you won’t get is death metal or similar genres. Each to his own, but that ain’t what I choose to listen to!}

_{To be honest I’m not really a big fan of the whole idea of “Reviews” as they’re simply one person’s opinion!!  “NI Rocks Recommends” is therefore just my personal recommendation. Let's just say that if I've went to the bother of writing this, I think it's worth taking a listen to and you’ll be hearing it played on my shows on Rock Radio NI!!}
