December 27, 2007 — New father Shooter Jennings will kick off the new year with a series of television appearances in support of his third studio album, The Wolf.
Shooter will perform two songs on CBS' CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on January 10 at 9 p.m. ET. "It's awesome for my music to be recognized and chosen by these music supervisors, who I'm sure had their pick of any country artist in Nashville," he said. "We had a blast during the taping, and this is a great avenue to get songs like 'This Ol Wheel' and 'Higher,' which are crowd favorites, heard by the masses."
Shooter has also been tapped to usher The Late Show with David Letterman back into production following a hiatus brought about by the writers' strike. He will appear on January 2, 2008 to perform "This Ol Wheel." A profile piece in The New York Times and a performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno follow later in the month.
Shooter and longtime girlfriend Drea de Matteo welcomed baby daughter Alabama Gypsyrose Jennings on Nov. 28. This is the first child for Shooter and the Sopranos actress, who have been dating since 2003, when they were introduced by mutual friend Vince Vaughn.
