Shooter Jennings - Put The 'O' Back In Country

If it isn't already clear that bloodlines run deep from father Waylon to son Shooter Jennings, then check out Shooter's debut album, Put the 'O' Back in Country. The passion on Southern Comfort, scraped raw from the walls of some backwoods church ... the guitars on Daddy's Farm, stacked, harmonized and slathered in deep-fried soul ...4th of July, a crank-it-up summer celebration sweetened by a sprinkling of George Jones ... the tread-shredding, back-road, hairpin spin of Busted in Baylor County ... and, above all, Put the 'O' Back in Country, which sums up what this album, and Shooter himself, is about.

It's country music, the way it ought to be - alive with blood and thunder, spit and spirit and Southern soul.

Waylon fought this battle in his own way, back in the day. But the sun has sunk and the shadows have spread deeper across country music since then. And as cowboy poseurs roam this dim and dreary land, Shooter sets it ablaze with an affirmation that country music - real country music - is back.

And this time it's not going away.
