Shooter Jennings
May 15, 2008
Visulite Theatre
The Deal: Son of Waylon Jennings showcases his outlaw style.
The Good: Jennings hit the stage and kicked off the show with a handful of his best songs "This Ol Wheel" and "Gone to Carolina" among them. Jennings changed instruments for just about every song as he rifled through songs from all three albums. The night's highlight was a shredding, extended jam version of "Daddy's Farm" that capped off the encore.
The Bad: I was surprised that Jennings didn't play his cover of "Walk of Life." I expected a bigger crowd, not to say that the Visulite was empty by any means... I also expected bigger sing-alongs. Last time I caught Jennings, at a show in Winston-Salem, the place went nuts for "4th of July." This time, it seemed like most didn't know the words.
The Verdict: A great show of rock and country music.
