Late last year I had the opportunity to hear, live, some of the songs from Shooter Jennings’ new album, ‘Black Ribbons,’ with the relatively new lineup of Ted Russell Kamp, Bryan Keeling, John Schreffler, Jr. and Bobby Emmett. The album comes out Tuesday.
From the Washington Post:
“His new album, ‘Black Ribbons,’ feels in tune with the rebel spirit of his father — but certainly not the sound. Arriving Tuesday, it’s a wildly ambitious, 70-minute rock opus splicing heavy-metal bombast with freedom-rock harmonies. There are pulsing synthesizers and Allman Brotherly guitar solos. There are songs about fame and Armageddon. There are backup vocals from Colter and skits narrated by novelist Stephen King. It feels like a country album mutated into something darker, even vicious.
‘I think the whole thing is a metaphor for how hard it’s been to get my voice heard,’ Jennings says of the album he’s been laboring over since 2008. ‘Whether it’s a success or not, at the end of the day I know that I didn’t play by anyone’s expectations. This is the anti-expectations album.’ ”
