NEW YORK - Sometimes, the offspring of famous parents view their lineage as more of a burden than a benefit — especially when they pursue the same profession. You won't hear any of that talk from Shooter Jennings. The son of the late country legend Waylon Jennings and singer Jessi Colter, Jennings is more than proud to draw from his rich musical heritage.
His debut album, "Put The O Back In Country," is a bit of a tribute to his dad's outlaw image, and has that gritty, Southern rock sound that Waylon Jennings helped to pioneer. He even makes a brief appearance as his father in the upcoming Johnny Cash biopic "Walk The Line," starring Joaquin Phoenix.
Jennings looked every bit the outlaw with his scruffy beard, long brown hair and dark sunglasses as he sat down with The Associated Press at an East Village eatery (and was briefly interrupted when his girlfriend, "Joey" actress Drea de Matteo, popped by to get say hi and steal a kiss).
