Shooter Jennings (born Waylon Albright Jennings in 1979) is an American country music singer, the only child of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. His middle name comes from his father’s drummer, Richie Albright. His father nicknamed him “Shooter” after he urinated on a nurse shortly after birth (as the elder Jennings wrote in his 1996 autobiography).
Shooter Jennings lived his first few years in a crib on his parents’ tour bus. By age five, he was playing drums. Between tours, he took piano lessons. He started playing guitar at fourteen and sometimes played in his father’s band. He and his father recorded a few things together when they happened to have some microphones set up and the tape recorder plugged in. At age sixteen, Jennings discovered rock ‘n’ roll.
As an adult, Jennings left Nashville, Tennessee to seek his fortunes in Los Angeles. He assembled and performed with Stargunn, a southern rock band whose sound he described as Lynyrd Skynyrd mutating into Guns N’ Roses. Stargunn performed at local clubs for six years, built a rabid following and earned praise from the local music press. But the Hollywood party scene eventually began to bother him. He says, “I was posing as a rocker—a country guy trying to be something he wasn’t.”

Country music about sex, drugs, and rock n roll. Can't get much better than that.

Shooter would have benefited more being in the Kid Rock/Skynrd tour this summer instead of the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam. Country fans have been exposed to him for four years now and haven't caught on, time give the rockers a chance where the Jennings name doesn't have as much baggage ;)

Shooter is one of an elite few that are carrying the outlaw banner proudly and effectively. His music is great and not pretentious or pop garbage like too many others who claim to be outlaws just because of a debauched lifestyle.

I highly recommend everyone to give a listen to Deana Carter's remake of Waylon's Good Hearted Woman featuring Shooter. He sounds so much like his father in that song its spooky.
