Similarly, the wounded “Sweet Savannah” is drenched in regret, and Jennings rocks hard on a Dixie-fried potboiler like “Steady at the Wheel.” Potshots at Nashville, like “Solid Country Gold,” might solidify Jennings’ outsider status but add little musically, though he does better when he smacks California around on “Southern Comfort.” “I’ve made some mistakes and I know that I’m young” he sings on an untitled hidden track, which sums it up nicely.
But lead single “4th of July” is a rambling, romantic country-rock gem, and “Lonesome Blues” offers perspective and world-weariness rare for a 25-year-old. Representing the latter is the useless title cut, which unnecessarily recasts the Neil Young (and Waylon) standard “Are You Ready for the Country?” with a tired joke. His debut is an uneven affair that juxtaposes offhand brilliance with much lesser material.
Descripción del álbumShooter Jennings certainly inherited a mean streak and the rebel hellraiser gene from his daddy, if not Waylon’s rumbling baritone.

Lyrics of PUT THE O BACK IN COUNTRY by Shooter Jennings: Yeah are you ready for the country, Are you ready for me, Better get ready for the country, Aint. "Southern Comfort" sounds like a dead cross between Lynyrd Skynyrd's more laid-back moments and an outtake from Chris Whitley's Living with the Law, and features a backing chorus of Mom Jessi Colter, Faith Evans, and Cece White! In Jennings' singing voice there is the trace of his father's grain, but in his music he is unruly and fiercely independent that's a compliment more than a comparison. The best of them, like the aforementioned "4th of July" is a quintessential Southern rocker the acoustic "Sweet Savannah" and electric "The Letter" are fine busted love ballads that tell full-on stories, dig deep into country archetypes, and have fine choruses and hooks that are timeless. "Lonesome Blues" is pure Texas country - drawling, slow, full of pain and pathos. It's loud, and has a killer hook and near-chanted refrain. The very next cut, "4th of July" contains the same kind of pumped-up guitar-slinging grittiness and glory that the original outlaws did. The title track goes a little far in terms of stressing its point - including getting George Jones to slur his way through some introductory words. And since birthright is unavoidable here, we'll get this out of the way straight up: this is modern-day outlaw country music. The curse is that the comparison factor is inevitable and unfair. The blessing is that because of his pedigree people will take the opportunity to check him out. Shooter Jennings is the son of the late Waylon.
