Shooter Jennings releases "This Ol Wheel"
Thursday, March 20, 2008 – Shooter Jennings is releasing "This Ol Wheel" off his third album, "The Wolf," as a single to country radio on April 7.
"The song is definitely the most personal thing I've ever written. It focuses on three points of my life, both personal and professional, that were really challenging, but I'm basically saying we are going to keep on rolling no matter what," said Jennings. "I've always been fascinated by the lyrical structure used by guys like Charlie Daniels in their songwriting, and this is my experiment on that."
Jennings and the .357's are back out on the road this month before joining Charlie Daniels' Volunteer Jam in April.

This time out, though, Jennings puts aside the eclecticism he is known for, deciding instead ...
Let's get one thing straight right off the bat. This is not a tribute album. For one thing there are only five songs on it. But it's not a tribute EP either. Only three of the five were ever recorded by Jones. Whatever you call it, this is the first of two recordings celebrating two very different musical icons. The second, due in January, will fete another George - Giorgio Moroder, an influential producer who worked with Donna Summer and paved the way for electronic dance music. ...
After the first 30 seconds of "The Other Life," listeners may feel like they are in for "Black Ribbons Part 2." The reality is that like all of Jennings' previous albums, this one has a distinctive sound. He has forayed through Southern Rock, outlaw country and most recently released the straightforward country album "Family Man," which most effectively channeled his daddy's musical ghost.
