Shooter Jennings, the son of country music legend Waylon Jennings, makes a bold entrance into the outlaw country and southern rock scene with his debut album, "Electric Rodeo." Released on January 1, 2006, under Show Dog Universal Music, this 41-minute journey through red dirt, alt country, and Texas country is a testament to Jennings' unique blend of traditional and modern influences.
"Electric Rodeo" is a raw, unfiltered expression of Jennings' artistry, featuring 11 tracks that showcase his rebellious spirit and musical versatility. The album opens with the title track "Electric Rodeo," a high-energy anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From the haunting ballad "The Song Is Still Slipping Away" to the rowdy "Some Rowdy Women," Jennings explores a range of themes and emotions, all tied together by his distinctive voice and powerful storytelling.
Fans of outlaw country will appreciate the rebellious spirit of tracks like "Manifesto No. 2" and "Bad Magick," while southern rock enthusiasts will find plenty to love in the gritty guitar riffs of "Gone To Carolina" and "Aviators." Jennings also pays homage to his roots with "Alligator Chomp (The Ballad Of Dr. Martin Luther Frog Jr.)," a playful yet poignant tribute to his father's legacy.
Throughout "Electric Rodeo," Shooter Jennings proves himself to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of country music. With its powerful lyrics, memorable melodies, and raw energy, this album is a must-listen for anyone looking for a fresh take on outlaw country and southern rock.
