The spark. The secret. When Shooter Jennings talked to us about the process behind a new record, he highlighted these two inspiration points, one a bit more concealed than the other. “The spark is the idea...when it happens, then I get excited and I have an overall vision for an album. And then the secret is something that I usually never reveal...it's kind of like when an actor has a backstory they made up for a character.”Here, we get insight on the motivations attached to “Shooter,” the ambitious country artist’s 2018 full length record. Jennings also talks about his move to Elektra (along with re-entering that “mainstream ring”), how he decided on the album title being his first name (plus the humor associated with his music), and much more.Listen to “Shooter” now.Interviews: Shooter Jennings, Aaron Raitiere (Songwriter).
