Waylon Jennings' son Shooter on rescuing his dad's music
Waylon Jennings' son Shooter on rescuing his dad's music centers on Shooter Jennings’ work at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, where he is producing a deeply personal project connected to his father’s legacy. The singer and producer, who has made Grammy-winning albums for Brandi Carl and Tanya Tucker, says the conversation about Waylon Jennings makes him emotional. Shooter describes Waylon’s defining outlaw-country sound and notes that he had 16 #1 hits, including “I’m a Rambling Man” and “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys,” plus the theme for “The Dukes of Hazzard.” Shooter is releasing previously unheard material found in storage: two albums, “Songbird” and the upcoming “Diamonds.” He also recounts how Texas shaped Waylon, including a connection to Buddy Holly, whom he credits as a key influence.
