Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings was born in 1979 to country-western singers Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. He was given his middle name after his father's drummer, Richie Albright. He got his nickname after urinating on a nurse shortly after birth (as the elder Jennings wrote in his 1996 autobiography). As a teenager he sometimes played in his father's band.
Shooter Jennings headlined the hard rock band Stargunn from 1996 to 2003. In 2004, he performed a duet with Hank Williams, Jr. on CMT's Outlaws special. Shooter Jennings released his first solo album, Put the "O" Back in Country, in 2005 and plays his father in the Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line. He is the host of Shooter Jennings' Electric Rodeo, a two-hour weekly music show on Sirius Satellite Radio's Outlaw Country channel. He currently dates Drea de Matteo.
