Jennings, Shooter
Entry updated 27 January 2025. Tagged: Music, People.
Working name of US musician Waylon Albright Jennings (1979- ). His Black Ribbons (2010) is a concept album purporting to be the final broadcast of DJ Will o’ the Wisp, performed and apparently partly written by Stephen King, before the US government takes control of radio airwaves. The DJ is determined to broadcast the music of the fictional band The Hierophant, who are the band the authorities are most determined to suppress. Mixing the country rock of Jennings’s earlier releases with healthy doses of psychedelia, industrial music and hard rock, and adding a jumble of conspiracy theories (Jennings cited David Icke as an influence), it is not exactly coherent. A version without King’s narration was released in 2011. [CWa]
