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.

Jennings, though, has chosen to willfully focus his attention on this great artist's life work with this excellent overview. If you really need any more proof of Zevon's greatness, just give it a listen.
The album was recorded live at the Monterey, Cal. "Rebels & ...
Shooter Jennings is the latest to link to Dave Cobb for production on the simply titled "Shooter." As one of today's leading outlaw country voices, Jennings is adept at marrying traditional country with fierce rock n' roll. When you're born into musical royalty, the bar is always set remarkably high, but Jennings has been a constant explorer, who has formed his own signature style. 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. ...
