By the time these guys left the stage, the 250 body room capacity was probably a few people over, in anticipation of Jennings.Īlong with his well-oiled band consisting of Jamie Douglass on drums, Aubrey Richmond on violin, Ted Russell Kamp on bass and John Schreffler on lead guitar, Jennings took us on an unforgettable ride.įrom his audience standing in silent awe of the creative compositions to his hard driving jam, “Steady at the Wheel,” fan fists were flying high. With frontman, Leroy Virgil, growling his own whiskeyladen lyrics, his band throws unapologetic rhythms in your face like it’s a mud fight. The Gunslinger Lyrics: Stepped off of the train in this town / May look kind of strange / Kind of rough all around / You dont know what Ive been through / But youd better not stare / Better. Opening for Jennings was Hellbound Glory. For nearly two decades, Shooter Jennings has defied expectation while constantly expanding the parameters of country, rock n roll, and beyond.

#SHOOTER JENNINGS GUNSLINGER MOVIE#
Resembling Robert Duvall’s character in the movie The Apostle, Jennings was adorned in a crisp, white suit and heavily shaded aviators as he delivered a fusion of music that represented both the time he grew up in and the legacy of the outlaw country parents he was born under.

Both took a heavier turn.On Saturday night, on the infamous stage at the Viper Room, Shooter Jennings burned his trademark brand of blue collar riffs with the groovy, synthesized sounds typically associated with ’70s Disco icons like Donna Summer or Blondie. "Don't Wait Up (I'm Playin' Possum)," the George Jones-inspired tune, and Jones's own "The Door" served as highlights. Albright (from whom Shooter Jennings gets his middle name) and multi-instrumentalist Fred Newell showed considerable versatility, switching styles on the discernibly heavier tune. Next up was "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone," off of his latest release Countach (For Giorgio). The first was his Cheerwine-influenced tune "Can You Come Over?," from producer Dave Cobb's Southern Family compilation. Giving the crowd their fill of Waylon hits made a great deal of sense when the time came for Shooter, Waylon's son, who has made a career of veering away from his father's trademark sound.Īfter a brief "Waylon Fucking Rocks Block" (a reference to the weekly block of Waylon tunes played on his Sirius/XM show), Shooter took the stage with a "Fuckin' Southern" shirt and worked through a handful of new numbers. Tommy Townsend provided lead vocals, though the group was actually anchored by longtime Waylon confidant and drummer Richie Albright.
