#STRUGGLE JENNINGS LIKE FATHER LIKE SON SERIES#

With the prohibitive costs of permissions in music these days, I Am Struggle would be impossible for anyone to make that didnвЂ™t have a direct line to the Waylon estate. It is taking from the Jennings family legacy and riding it as far as it will take him-so much so that it is hard to tell where WaylonвЂ™s music stops, and StruggleвЂ™s music begins. With Struggle and this album, the approach seems to be the exact opposite, despite whatever words of explanation may accompany the project. Hank Williams Jr., Hank Williams III, Shooter Jennings, Justin Townes Earle, and on and on, and stretching to the daughters of country music like Carlene Carter and Rosanne Cash they sweated blood and made deep sacrifices to divest themselves from familial expectations and industry shortcuts bestowed by their names to stand on their own two feet as artists. What is the legacy of the sons and grandsons of country music royalty? It is of them getting a break in the music business because of their name, but then immediately rebelling against what the music world wanted them to be, which were living facsimileвЂ™s of their predecessors. 7 of the 9 tracks on the country rap record directly incorporate samples and structures of Waylon tunes in an unprecedented intrusion of rap into the country music format and its catalog of legendary recordings from one of its most legendary artists.

The tour was known as the first tour in the US to not require proof of COVID-19 vaccine or face mask requirements.The rapping grandson of Waylon Jennings, one Will вЂњYoung StruggleвЂќ Harness, or вЂњStruggleвЂќ as he prefers to go by now has a new album out called I Am Struggle, that doesnвЂ™t just borrow heavily from WaylonвЂ™s catalog, it is downright built from it. In September 2021, Jennings and heavy metal vocalist Tommy Vext announced a co-headlining tour 'The God Bless the Outlaws' across the United States. In 2021, Jennings can be found touring and working with artists Brianna Harness and Caitlynne Curtis to advance their independent careers via his label 'Angels & Outlaws' based in Nashville.
