Shooter JenningsHear the Thunder Crack

Recorded live to tape with a full orchestra, this one swells and storms like a film score that learned to twang. Shooter wrote the music to actor James Woods' lyrics, building an autobiographical song cycle that rolls from hushed spoken intros into big surges of strings and steel. His voice rides the swells, weary and warm. Ambitious, dramatic, and unlike anything else in his catalog. Drop the needle and let the thunder roll.
