CDS
Shooter Jennings, "The Wolf": His dad was an outlaw and he's a traditionalist, but that doesn't mean there's not a maverick streak in Shooter Jennings.
Son of Waylon Jennings, Shooter comes with hard rockin' honky tonk like they haven't made since his father was helping establish the paradigm for business-minded, blue collar country three decades ago.
His latest disc, "The Wolf," is a boozy, nicotine-stained romp through seedy bars and bedrooms where once again Shooter's aim proves to be dead on.
