Review of Interview with Shooter Jennings
I've reviewed several of this producer's pieces. He is a competent interviewer, has a smooth wonderful delivery and, for the most part, constructs his interviews well.
But from there the producer falls into the traps and pitfalls of producing long form interviews for other stations to use. They are too long, ramble a bit and are phoner interviews with poor line quality.
This piece would be a great interview if it were edited to about 8 min, so it could be inserted into a news mag or other longer show. At nearly 40 mins, it's hard for stations to use.
On content, we hear about the artist's music, his deals, his desires. It's all fine and interesting stuff. While public radio is not normally the home of mainstream-ish country music, this interview is a nice glimpse into this part of the music scene.
