Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Rough but Good Country Music Comment: A solid performance by Jennings. For those who love rough and tough country music, this is for you. Too many highlights on this recording to mention. Customer Rating: Summary: Talented in more ways than one Comment: Shooter is a very talented songwriter, musician, and graphic artist. I have enjoyed Shooter's other 3 cd's and the Wolf is another awesome cd from Shooter and the .357's. Shooter and the .357's always bring something new to the table and they have managed to do it again with the Wolf---it will not dissappoint. The artwork on the cd cover is another one of Shooter's many talents. Not your mainstream country band(thank god)something new and different with a old school outlaw country/rock feel. Shooter's voice is amazing and his sense of humor shines in all of his cd's. The whole band is talented-- buy it! Customer Rating: Summary: Great driving tunes Comment: Love this CD!! I have all three Shooter albums, and love them all. I really like how musically diverse each ablum or song is for that matter. Listening to raw outlaw country is so refreshing after listening to all the crap on the radio. Shooters southern rock/outlaw hits don't sound anything like the boy band country that your used to hearing these days. If you like Keith Urban or Rascal Faggot that this probably isn't the cd for you. Customer Rating: Summary: The Wolf, Shooter Jennings Comment: I liked this CD the best of all. I love the song Slow Train, Blood from a Stone, The Wolf. Shooter has his own style of music. He doesn't sound like anyone else. His voice is becoming stronger and deeper. Customer Rating: Summary: outlaw country lives Comment: It shouldn't amaze me that a lot of people are missing out on Shooter's music, but it does. Yes, he has snubbed his nose at the music business(which doesn't have a clue about real music), but his talent clearly shines. The industry was shocked by Shooter's dad, and Shooter has taken the outlaw movement to a new level. This third release is more country than the last two, but a lot of "country" these days is more southern rock than a lot of classic southern rock. The song I must mention is the remake of "Walk of Life". The original (even though I love Dire Straits) annoyed me to no end. Something about it was just too bouncy and well, annoying. When I saw it on the albumn I was leary, but it truly is the way the song should have been originally! Buy all three Shooter albumns! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: It begins with an eerie bit of original autobiography called "This Ol' Wheel," as Jennings, invoking the same no-frills sound of his earlier albums, barrels through a collection of largely self-penned numbers. He invokes the waltz-tempos his dad used so effectively on "Old Friend," creatively punctuated with pedal steel and Mariachi horns. "A Little More Time on You" remains the simplest sort of country lament, even with the R&B horns. He takes another interesting detour with a rough-edged, decidedly countrified remake of Dire Straits' "Walk of Life," a tune so identified with that band and Mark Knopfler that it's difficult to imagine someone else tackling it. While Jennings doesn't surpass the original, his rendition is both effective and unique. The more pensive "Concrete Cowboys" and slicker "Blood From a Stone" is as close as he has (and likely will) come to smoothing his sound. It's true that Shooter hasn't achieved stardom close to Waylon's. Yet he's cultivated an audience by ignoring Nashville's smarmy trendiness and carving his own niche. Come to think of it, that's also what Waylon did. --Rich Kienzle
