Shooter has also released a second track, "Wild & Lonesome," from "The Other Life."  The ballad, which features singer/songwriter Patti Griffin, debuted yesterday on The Boot.

Besides Griffin, Scott H. Biram and Black Oak Arkansas frontman Jim "Dandy" Mangrum are also featured on "The Other Life." Shooter has once again recorded with the band he dubbed "The Triple Crown:" renowned jazz pianist Erik Deutsch, guitarist Chris Masterson, drummer Tony Leone, bassist Jeff Hill, and pedal steel player Jon Graboff.

He has also created an accompanying film to "The Other Life, which will be screened at various venues.  In the film of the same name, Shooter says goodbye to his family and hits the road, but the road is not as he left it.  Haunted by a mysterious woman who is more than what she seems, he soon finds himself on a supernatural journey forcing him to face a darkness that has followed him longer than he can understand and a destiny that he cannot deny.

Shooter is also set to co-produce a film based on his father, legendary outlaw country icon Waylon Jennings.  The biopic is scheduled to go into production in 2014 and will focus on Waylon's groundbreaking  years when he fought the Nashville establishment and his own personal demons to define the popular Outlaw movement. The film also has the blessing of Jessi Colter and the Jennings estate.

In early 2011, Shooter announced the creation of a new music movement called XXX, an outlet for artists who are "too country for rock, too rock for country." After playing these artists (many of whom are unsigned or signed to independent labels) on his long-running radio program on Sirius XM's Outlaw Country, Shooter has quickly gained a reputation as one of the biggest supporters of underground and independent music in the United States and, fittingly, Billboard named him one of "the best and brightest music industry characters" for both 2011 and 2012.

Shooter Jennings has worn many hats throughout his career: the self-described "son of a rebel saint," the hell-raising vigilante minister at a revival of true country music, the radical prophet using rock and roll as his medium, and the guiding light for an ever-growing army of young musicians who are, like Shooter himself, outsiders in today's music business.
