Song:This Ol' Wheel
Album:The Wolf
Waylon "Shooter" Jennings is proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in the music business. He was born May 19, 1979 in Nashville and is the only son of country music legend Waylon Jennings and his singer wife Jessi Colter. Shooter grew up on his parents tour bus and was playing drums at age five. As a teen he learned guitar and got interested in rock music, especially Guns 'N' Roses. Shooter moved to Los Angeles and formed a group called Stargunn. The group was reportedly a mix of Southern rock and Guns 'N' Roses. They played in Los Angeles clubs for six years but Shooter dissolved Stargunn in Mar. 2003 because he felt he was a country guy posing as a rocker. He moved to New York and eventually formed a new band called The .357s. This band is more in line with his country roots. Shooter signed with Universal South Records and his debut Put The "O" Back In Country was released in 2005. His duet with George Jones 4th Of July reached #26 on the country charts. The Wolf was released in Oct. 2007 and like all his albums has done well on the country charts. His sound is very much like his dad. Shooter Jennings played his dad in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk The Line and Shooter recently announced plans to do a duet with his late father a la Hank Williams Jr. which will be out in October. His mom has also appeared on all his records. Shooter's girlfriend is Sopranos actress Drea De Matteo and they had a daughter in Nov. 2007. This Ol' Wheel is Shooter Jennings latest single and this is the brand new video. Yeah, I know it looks amateurish. It's supposed to be a tour scrapbook and Shooter's website posted it on Youtube.
