As the son of Jessi Coulter and the late Waylon Jennings, Shooter Jennings was born with certain outlaw expectations, and for a while his rebellion amounted to hanging out on the Hollywood party scene and subbing for Axl Rose at Guns N’ Roses gigs. Troubled that his celebrity friends knew not of David Allan Coe, Jennings found himself some new compadres and hightailed it home. For all the bitchin’ about the current Nashville scene, Put The O Back In Country is actually more Hank Jr. than Sr., with Jennings interspersing the self-mythologizing Southern boogies with sensitive ballad strumming copped from Kid Rock. The horrible songwriting goes a long way toward confirming suspicions that he was signed on name alone.
