(15,996 posts)Some call it alt.country some call it Americana.... Shooter Jennings is working on creating a sub-genre for it called "xxx" (after the old xxx symbol on the little brown whisky jugs etc.). Basically it's country-southern-rockish stuff that doesn't fit the Nashville mainstream music machine.
Here's a song we cut during the sessions we did back in May that wound up on a various artist download compilation called "Southern Independent Vol. III" that Shooter is promoting on his record label to try and help us indy artists and labels out. The writer ,singer, bass player on this is Ted Russell Kamp, who in addition to being a great solo artist is also the bass player for Shooter Jennings and the .357s.
He's a good friend of ours
This is called "Another Love Song"
Ted calls his particular flavor "California Country Rock"
