Cory Marks Brings the Heat with “(Make My) Country Rock – Harder”

Review By Glen Parkes

Cory Marks returns with a high-energy, hard-hitting revamp of his recent single, “(Make My) Country Rock – Harder,” which drops on November 1, 2024. Featuring an all-star lineup including Sully Erna of Godsmack, Mick Mars, and Travis Tritt, this powerhouse track takes country rock to a whole new level, blending roaring guitars, booming drums, and vocals that push the limits.

Marks’ original version was already an anthem, but this “Harder” edition adds an undeniable edge. Marks describes the song as having “heavier guitars, bigger drums, and all of us singing a little bigger and louder for the ones listening that want to rock just a bit harder.” This version fulfills that promise and more, infusing raw energy and rebellious spirit from Erna, Mars, and Tritt, whose distinct styles mesh seamlessly with Marks’ signature grit.

“(Make My) Country Rock – Harder” is a perfect storm of rock and country, delivering a unique crossover experience for fans of both genres. Marks has crafted a song that’s as dynamic as it is fierce, paying homage to rock and country legends while pushing his sound to new extremes. This is the ultimate track for anyone looking to turn up the volume and let loose, proving once again that Cory Marks is at the forefront of modern country rock.
