Shooter Jennings - Shooter (2018)

Shooter Jennings unveils his latest album, the eponymous Shooter, on August 10th. Seated at a piano, Jennings pounds out the song, a moody, hypnotic ballad about a strong-willed woman who eats up the town every Saturday night. Like much of Shooter, it evokes Hank Williams Jr. – in this case Bocephus’ defiant “Outlaw Women.”

“I was looking at country music and looking at my place in it,” he told in May. “Nobody is cutting a honky-tonk Hank Williams Jr. record right now. That is still missing from country and that’s what I and a lot of people want to hear. Everything is so politically divisive and everybody wants a break from that shit, and it’s that downhome attitude that this music was born out of.”
