5.0 out of 5 stars Just can't find no shelter for the wolf..., October 23, 2007

This review is from: The Wolf (Audio CD)

Shooter Jennings is one of the true outlaws of today's musical scene. His albums are a unique blend of country--both slick and traditional--rock, and blues. THE WOLF is Jennings's third studio effort, and it continues his tradition of playing by his own rules.

The only problem is this: Shooter isn't about to let you forget that he's Waylon's son. On the opening track, he sings of listening to his dad and Johnny Cash. You get a Hank reference latter. On "A Matter of Time," one of the album's highlights, he affects a quirky Waylon growl that makes you think, for just a moment, that you've discovered a brand new Waylon song. What Jennings is doing isn't original; but since he's the son of the man who started it all, we can forgive him. We can even forgive him for referencing his father every third or fourth song; after all, odds are that you're a Waylon fan and enjoy the referenes as much as Shooter seems to enjoy dropping them.

And besides--his albums stand on their own. THE WOLF is a great country/rock record, no doubt. Shooter's lyrics aren't of the highest caliber, but they don't have to be; these are honest rock songs, done more of a country bent than perhaps they deserve. He sings of music, drugs, women, heartache, pride...things that underly the very best country and rock have to offer. If you want proof that country and rock aren't all that far apart, pick up a Shooter Jennings record. THE WOLF is as good a place as any to start. His father opened the doors, and Shooter strolls right on in and does his own thing. And, thank God, he's damned good at it.

Shooter's new cd The Wolf is a great buy. This album delivers from beginning to end. This is NOt a cheesy album with 2 good songs. Put it in the cd player sit back and enjoy the ride. It may make you wish the drive were longer. I can't stop listening to it. I can't wait for the tour to promote this album. Shooter is even better live!

Shooter is a very talented songwriter, musician, and graphic artist. I have enjoyed Shooter's other 3 cd's and the Wolf is another awesome cd from Shooter and the .357's. Shooter and the .357's always bring something new to the table and they have managed to do it again with the Wolf---it will not dissappoint. The artwork on the cd cover is another one of Shooter's many talents. Not your mainstream country band(thank god)something new and different with a old school outlaw country/rock feel. Shooter's voice is amazing and his sense of humor shines in all of his cd's. The whole band is talented-- buy it!
