Nothing looms over an artist like the pressure of a sophomore release. Three years after the release of Jennings’ debut independent project “Shine”, Dark Horse Records Nashville releases Jennings’ follow-up record “Long Black Cadillac” which is nothing short of a masterpiece. Dynamic production and extraordinary songwriting carries listeners through an album full of emotions and musical styles that range from old school traditional country on songs like “Sometimes The Best Memories (Aren’t Memories At All)” and “Northern Lights and Southern Comfort” to blues to aggressive and progressive guitar driven anthem tunes such as the title-track “Long Black Cadillac”.

Many artists experience the strain of establishing longevity by trying to equal their debut efforts with their follow-up projects; Jennings’ has only become more seasoned and like a fine wine has gotten better with age. At 29 he wrote or co-wrote 14 out of 16 tracks on “Long Black Cadillac” and self co-produced the record with friend and guitar-whiz Kevin Post. He released the project on his own label (Dark Horse Records Nashville) and has answered the call of the sophomore curse with a brilliant vigor.

Although Jennings’ has made a name for himself as an electric high-energy performer, select ballads on the album offer insight to a softer side of Jennings. “Where You’ll Find Me” is an intimate journey through the unique idiosyncrasies that make each woman special to her man and promises “in anything that you can think of that makes your spirit free, that’s where you’ll find me”. “This Getting’ Over You” is a storm of painful emotions wrapped up in a steel guitar driven track and “No Place Like Home” is like a comfortable visit to an old familiar place.

16 powerhouse tracks make-up a rare project music-wide and notably the last track of the record pays homage to the courage and resolve of American servicemen and women in a musical memorial called “Free To Leave”.

Jennings continues to get better and better and shows no signs of slowing down. There are already talks of a new record for ’09 and Jennings has already started writing for a new project.
