"It has been a few years since the 'Broken Wings' album was released and I have found that the 'music business' is more about business and less about the music. The songs have to be good but without the money and the right business avenue they probably won't go far. I can honestly say I have a hell of a lot less money than I started this with and my business savvy still isn't what it should be, but I believe these are some of my best songs so far. I may never be rich or famous, but if I can touch one person with one song - well that is 'my desire'." - Shawn Jennings Previous review: Shawn Jennings and Southern Roots Band "BROKEN WINGS" ©2005 (Independently Released) Review by Lucky Boyd There's no question that Shawn Jennings and Southern Roots Band are having a good time with their music. Jennings and the gang take a serious approach to the music while making sure they enjoy the journey. Jennings pens most of the cuts on this album and is an adept songwriter. The music is pure Texas as guitars twang on Waylon-inspired tunes like "Lee County Line." Jennings' voice is Country gold as he gets the job done in fine fashion throughout the disc. This sophomore project is a maturation for the band and their music. The follow up to "I NEED A MARGARITA" exposes the true talent of Shawn Jennings and his faithful followers. The band has a great technical approach to the music, remaining true to the roots that brought them to this point. You'll love "Never Gave In," as it is one of the best story songs I've heard in some while. These are two very entertaining discs from a hard-working, fun-loving collection of talented performers. You'll quickly become a fan.
