Northern Irish artist Callum Norris steps forward with a strong debut single, “The Only Way I Know,” blending gritty blues with a rock edge. Opening with raw, overdriven slide guitar, the track sets a confident tone before Norris’s powerful vocals take the lead, carrying the energy with a mix of soul and grit.
Recorded at ZeroHour Studio in Coleraine and produced by Michael McCluskey, the track features a tight arrangement that keeps the focus on Norris’s expressive voice and the blues-driven guitar work. Drawing on influences from country blues and classic rock, the sound nods to both the Mississippi Delta and the British blues revival.
Lyrically, the song deals with personal conviction—choosing an uncertain path over a comfortable but uninspiring life. It’s a direct message, underscored by a performance that feels both grounded and ambitious.
Having studied under blues master Robin Henkel, Norris brings a solid foundation to his songwriting and guitar playing. “The Only Way I Know” serves as a strong introduction to his style, combining tradition with a personal touch. With this debut, Norris positions himself as a promising voice in the evolving blues-rock landscape.
