Forgive my rant but... I received an e-mail yesterday announcing the release of Shooter Jennings' new Greatest Hit album entitled "Black Magik: the Best of Shooter Jennings and the .357’s". I first thought this was some kind of joke but sure enough the e-mail contained a full bio and link to iTunes. First off, you can't technically release a greatest hits album when you only have three full studio albums. Sure there isn't a written rule but come on, really? The whole premise of greatest hits assumes hits over the span on decades, not four years. I enjoyed Shooter's debut album "Put the O back in country" but everything since has been a disappointment for my tastes however in the new world of music, greatest hits mean nothing anymore. It is way to easy to pick your own personal greatest hits yourself. I'll chalk this up as a marketing tactic to sell albums on as he joins the Warped Tour shows this summer. Thoughts?
