When Turnpike Troubadours reunited in 2021 following an uncertain hiatus, they turned to Shooter Jennings to guide them in recording their first album in six years, 2023’s A Cat in the Rain . The Grammy-winning producer also helmed the follow-up, this year’s superb The Price of Admission . Yet Jennings says that some of the Oklahoma band’s fans weren’t happy.

“The preconceived notion thing goes forever. If you look at Turnpike fans and what they say about the last two records I did, they say I ruined their careers. Because there’s something about me that’s polarizing to people,” Jennings says on Rolling Stone ’s Nashville Now podcast when asked about living with the pressure of being the son of pioneering outlaw Waylon Jennings.
