Shooter Jennings
Don't let Shooter Jennings fool you. Sure, he rocks. He's lean and wiry, with tattoos snaking up his arms - his mother's name on one, a gun on the other - and a crimson stud gleaming in one ear. He's played sold-out shows at the Viper Room and the Roxy. He's subbed for Axl Rose onstage - twice - with Guns 'N' Roses. But look a little closer. Underneath that gun are the letters CBCS, for 'country boy can survive.' That earring turns out to be an eagle silhouette spread-winged into the letter &'W' - an icon known by anyone who has listened to and loved the original outlaw, Waylon Jennings. 'My dad got his ear pierced when he was - I swear to God - sixty, because he wanted to be like me,' the younger Jennings explains. If that's not enough to make it clear that bloodlines run deep from father to son, then check out Shooter's debut album, Put the 'O' Back in Country which jabs a finger in the eye of everything that's wrong with America's music today... 'The main thing I want people to understand is that I'm a country artist,' Shooter says. 'Sure, there's rock in there. I've played a lot of rock & roll. I take a lot from it. But it's country music. And I'm going to push it as far as I can because it's that important.' More information about Shooter Jennings can be found at: www.shooterjennings.com
