15 October - 53 mins explicitDon’t you think this outlaw bit’s done got out of hand? On this week’s no-holds-barred episode of Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, we talk to the keeper of the outlaw country flame, Shooter Jennings, about the new album he produced on his dad, the legendary late rebel Waylon Jennings. We learn how Shooter found the tapes, why they’re so important to country music, and how the Grammy-winning producer put them all together. Shooter also tells us why he has such a “hard time” with Nashville and if there will ever be a Waylon Jennings honky-tonk on Broadway. We also talk about Sabrina Carpenter’s big country debut and list off our Hear Now songs for the week. Let’s go!
