Shooter as himself

banomassa

While not my Favorite track by Shooter, this is through and through a Shooter Track. I am right there with him too, so much of what passes for Country is just homogenized crap written by a group of writers for an artist and given an image to sell to the public. People who have been saying this is a little harsh, I think it is a great track and what we have come to expect from Shooter, good old well written music. At least we can count on Shooter to be himself and write his own music in his on voice

Sour Grapes?

swetzel67

While I admire Mr. Jennings (and of course, his dad Waylon), I have to admit I found this track to be a bit of "sour grapes." Some folks have interpreted the target of his scorn as Jason Aldean, though in later verses he changes "cowboy hat" to "baseball hat" so he may be referring to other new "outlaw" country artists like Eric Church or Brantley Gilbert. While it's easy for him to go on the attack, these three have never described themselves as "outlaws;" only the media have. If anything, they're country rockers the same as Jennings. While the songcraft is excellent, a whole second verse detailing his dad's rise to fame and how he struggled in Nashville? While I agree that current country stars namecheck Waylon (& Willie, Cash, and Hank) too often, it leaves a slight bitter taste. Perhaps if Shooter wants to be bigger, he should tone it down a notch and not come off as too demeaning. Then again, he probably doesn't care...
