Shooter Jennings back with new album this summer

J.Fontaine

Low Country Sound/Elektra Records announce the new album from Shooter Jennings, Shooter, due Aug. 10. It is available for pre-order now at all DSPs and streaming services HERE.

All pre-orders are joined by an instant grat download of the project's first single, "Fast Horses & Good Hideouts," also available today for individual purchase at all DSPs and streaming services HERE. "Fast Horses & Good Hideouts" - which sees Jennings and Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell) sharing songwriting credit with character actor Randy Quaid - just debuted on SiriusXM Outlaw Country, home since 2005 of the "Shooter Jennings' Electric Rodeo" radio show.

In addition, the single is joined by a new companion visual - directed by TK - that sees Jennings hosting his own variety show, entitled "Hey Shooter!" "Fast Horses & Good Hideouts" is streaming now at the official Shooter Jennings YouTube channel.

"Randy and I had been corresponding for a while," Jennings says of the song's genesis. "I was trying to get him and his wife on my radio show, but nothing ever came of it. Then I asked him about one of the YouTube videos they made of him reading out of the Bible, I wanted to play it on the Christmas episode. He wrote back, saying I'd fulfilled this lifelong dream of his to read the Gospel on the radio, and he signed it, 'Here's to fast horses and good hideouts.' I thought, that would make a great song! So then I went and wrote it."

Jennings is marking the album arrival with a wide-ranging live schedule. "The Bound Ta Git Down Tour" includes headline shows, dates supporting Turnpike Troubadours, and event performances. Additional dates will be announced - for updates and ticket information, please visit Shooter Jennings' official TOUR page.

Produced by longtime friend and collaborator Cobb, at the renowned RCA Studio A on Nashville's Music Row, the album sees Jennings seeking to simply make a great country record. His last studio album was a tribute to Giorgio Moroder. 

"It's a very honest record," Jennings says. "There are no magic tricks. It's really stuff that's from the heart; it really encapsulates a lot of the styles I've done across all my records. Dave said, 'Can't we just call it Shooter' I said, I love that. Let's just call it Shooter."
