Electric Rodeo (CD)

As the child of country legends Jessi Colter and Waylon Jennings, Shooter Jennings might as well have been born on the sawdust floor of a honky tonk. After spending a few years in a little-known hard rock band, Shooter took up the family business and began releasing solid albums of guitar-heavy country in the tradition of his folks. Though Jennings is clearly in touch with country music's past, he is also very much a product of his own time. This gives his music a scruffy alternative vibe that aligns him with contemporaries such as Ryan Adams, Bobby Bare Jr., and the Drive-By Truckers. Jennings played his father in the 2006 film WALK THE LINE.

Recording information: 2005.

On his second studio outing, Shooter Jennings offers up another assured set of no-frills country-rock, staying true to the spirit of his legendary father, Waylon Jennings, even when heading into more amped-up territory. Although the fierce opening title track and the soulful "Gone to Carolina" make it seem like ELECTRIC RODEO is firmly entrenched in Lynyrd Skynyrd turf, Jennings reveals his knack for classic country on the wistful, world-weary tunes "Some Rowdy Women" and "The Song Is Still Slipping Away." While PUT THE O BACK IN COUNTRY featured a guest appearance by George Jones, this record finds bayou bard Tony Joe White joining Jennings on the swampy number "Alligator Chomp," rounding out a charming album that's sure to further Jennings's growing reputation.
