Yep, Waylon made this one too
I ran across Shooter Jennings when I was doing the previous week’s music video Friday. The song that caught my ear was Manifesto No. 1 with the gospel song I’ll Fly Away interspersed in there somewhere. If you don’t mind an occasional ‘kiss my a**’ in the song, it’s kinda good. But then again, I’m a lyrics guy. The songs tell a story. This just happens to be a different kind of story. Shooter’s songs may appeal to a younger set than my old ears, but I like the first song….the rest of them…well….

I actually like Robby White’s cover of Manifesto No. 1 better than Shooter’s version. (Either is sorta a perversion of a good gospel song, trying to yoke the good with the bad).
Like you, “my old ears” are somewhat offended by the likes
of Hank III & this Shooter guy……something tells me they try to hard to shock us or to be “outlaws.” Just being honest, don not want to offend anyone.
