Background and promotion
In a press release, Marks stated the album "is really who I am," adding that he always wanted to 'pave his own lane' and that "whether you’re a rock fan, a metal fan or a country music fan, my mission is to reach anyone who feels a little different". He wanted the album to have "songs for partying, songs to look back on life and have a good cry, love songs" and "something for everyone".[3] Marks wrote or co-wrote every song on the album, with the exception of the final song, a cover of Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly".[4] Marks elected to cover "Learn to Fly" as he is a pilot and a "huge aviation guy", and he and producer Kevin Churko wanted to make their own version of it that featured more steel guitar.[5]
Marks embarked on his "Sorry for Nothing Tour" to support the album, which included headlining dates in Germany, France, and Canada, as well as festival stops in the Netherlands and Great Britain.[6][5]

Critical reception
Jason Hopper of Rock Poser Dot Com stated that Sorry for Nothing is "one of the most interesting and refreshing albums" that he has heard in years. He praised the "perfect mix of both rock and country styles" and said there is "not a bad track on the album", adding that this is the album that Bon Jovi should have recorded when they released Lost Highway in 2007.[7] An uncredited review from Metal Planet Music called the release a "mighty album", adding that it "covers a lot of ground with its mish-mash of Country, Rock and Metal stylings but ultimately it does sound very cohesive and there is no denying the quality of songwriting, performance or production on it, which is top notch".[8] Jenna Melanson of Canadian Beats Media opined that the album was "delivered with raw energy and authenticity".[9]
