This is Shooter Jennings's second release of 2006, recorded at a New York concert for Sirius Satellite Radio (where he hosts his own program) two weeks after the release of his second album, Electric Rodeo. Hearing Jennings and his tight, riproaring three-piece band the .357's--Southern rockers in the Skynyrd tradition (particularly on "Daddy's Farm")--on stage conveys all of their raw, gut-ripping immediacy. Six selections come from his 2005 debut, including "Manifesto No. 1," "Steady at the Wheel," the heavily countrified "Lonesome Blues," "Southern Comfort," and "Busted in Baylor County," inspired by a real-life Texas incident. Four others, "Electric Rodeo," "Gone to Carolina," the hilarious "Manifesto No. 2," and "It Ain't Easy," appeared on the second album. Jennings's outlaw attitude never lets up, and when he invokes Waylon, a ubiquitous touchstone, it's with wit and in good taste. In fact, one direct homage accounts for the album's most moving moment. Hearing Shooter's eloquent, loving "It Ain't Easy" leaves no doubt that the old man would be proud. --Rich Kienzle

5.0 out of 5 stars Live at Irving Plaza, October 20, 2006

By	David Shadd "david_shadd" (Georgetown, Ky United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Shooter and the .357's, his touring band, put on a rowdy, rocking set, mostly from Shooter's second album, Electric Rodeo. I have seen Shooter a couple of times live and his performances are electric and full of energy. This set is no different. The highlights include Manifesto No. 2, Steady at the Wheel and Daddy's Farm. This album shows Jennings carrying the torch of southern rock and is much closer to this brand of music than the country music played on radio today.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outlaw at it's best, October 11, 2009

Pretty simple: if you're a fan of Shooter Jennings and outlaw country, this is a solid live recording.

1.0 out of 5 stars Musicianship lacking, May 12, 2009

By	Matthew (Nebraska) - See all my reviews

I bought this album and was disappointed. Weak musicianship and simpleton lyrics. I would think Shooter Jennings could have assembled a better band than this. Some of the most simple, poorly performed guitar solos I have heard. Maybe the studio albums are better, performed by studio musicians and Jennings gets dozens of takes on vocals. However, I'll pass on anything by Shooter and the 357s. 70's era Waylon and the Waylors blow this band so far away they land on another planet.
