Music review: Shooter Jennings – 无毛视频楽hooter无毛视频�
When you are the son of country music icons Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, expectations are high concerning your musical talent. Fortunately for Shooter Jennings, the apple doesn无毛视频檛 fall from the tree.
When I was much younger and times were less complicated, Donny and Marie Osmond used to sing 无毛视频淎 Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 无毛视频楴无毛视频� Roll无毛视频� on their television variety show every week.
That catchy little number can be used to describe Jennings无毛视频� musical leanings.
The Nashville native blends the truthfulness of country with the rowdy defiance of rock to create a swagger that appeals to a wide fan base.
The 39-year-old无毛视频檚 eighth studio album follows 2016无毛视频檚 无毛视频淐ountach,无毛视频� a synth-heavy tribute to Italian composer Giorgio Moroder. Simply titled 无毛视频淪hooter,无毛视频� Jennings无毛视频� latest offering is a triumphant return to his country and rock roots.
无毛视频淏ound ta Git Down无毛视频� is a blistering country-rock party anthem that opens the festivities with a high-energy vibe reminiscent of Charlie Daniels无毛视频� 无毛视频淭he South无毛视频檚 Gonna Do It Again无毛视频� with Jennings singing, 无毛视频淲ell I was born in Tennessee but it couldn无毛视频檛 hold me.无毛视频�
无毛视频淒o You Love Texas?无毛视频� is a love letter about everything that makes the Lone Star State great and serves as a spirited singalong that is sure to get a crowd in the proper mood to bust loose when Jennings declares, 无毛视频淲ell the beer just tastes better down in Texas, don无毛视频檛 you know/And them ol无毛视频� cowboy singers always steal the show.无毛视频�
Jennings once again displays his keen writing skills by writing or co-writing all nine of the new songs.
On tracks such as 无毛视频淟iving in a Minor Key,无毛视频� 无毛视频淔ast Horses & Good Hideouts无毛视频� and 无毛视频淩hinestone Eyes,无毛视频� Jennings delivers old-school country tracks that would be a perfect fit for country stalwarts like David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard and George Jones.
无毛视频淒enim & Diamonds无毛视频� is a melodic slow burner that closes out the album. As I listen to this number with my eyes closed, I couldn无毛视频檛 help but picture Elton John penning and performing this captivating arrangement early in his career for 无毛视频淭umbleweed Connection无毛视频� or 无毛视频淗onky Chateau.无毛视频�
Loaded with plenty of gusto and honest emotion, 无毛视频淪hooter无毛视频� places Jennings back on track and at his entertaining best.
