    While Waylon's shadow will remain a constant companion, the younger Jennings continues to prove that he's a great shot in his own right.

    Lyrically and musically, the songs stream effortlessly from accessible to intricate, creating an estimable country album with a steady undercurrent of blues and rock.

Tracks holding level in terms of composition, and most importantly album is a good listen.… Expand
