Shooter Jennings lived the first few years of his life in a crib on his parents' tour bus surrounded by the like of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. By age five, he was playing drums. At 8 years old, he began taking piano lessons. He started playing guitar at fourteen and on occasion he'd play percussion in his father's band.

Michael Savage (born Michael Alan Weiner; March 31, 1942) is a conservative American radio host, author, and political commentator. He is the host of The Savage Nation, a nationally syndicated talk show that airs throughout the United States on Talk Radio Network. The Savage Nation has an audience of 8 to 10 million listeners on 400 stations across the United States, making it the fourth most listened-to radio talk show in the country. He holds master's degrees from the University of Hawaii in medical botany and medical anthropology and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in nutritional ethnomedicine. As Michael Weiner, he has written books on herbal medicine and homeopathy. As Michael Savage, he has written four New York Times-bestselling political books.
Savage has summarized his political philosophy in three words: borders, language, and culture. Some, including Savage himself, have characterized his views as conservative nationalism, while critics have characterized them as "fostering extremism or hatred." He outspokenly opposes illegal immigration to the United States, supports the English-only movement and argues that liberalism and progressivism are degrading American culture. Although his radio delivery is usually characterized as confrontational and politically themed, some of his show involves ruminating on topics such as medicine, nutrition, music, literature, history, theology, philosophy, sports, culture, and personal anecdotes.
Gillian Welch (/ˈɡɪliən ˈwɛltʃ/; born October 2, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter. She performs with her musical partner, guitarist David Rawlings. Their sparse and dark musical style, which combines elements of Appalachian music, Bluegrass, and Americana, is described by The New Yorker as "at once innovative and obliquely reminiscent of past rural forms".
Welch and Rawlings have released five critically acclaimed albums. Their 1996 debut, Revival, and the 2001 release Time (The Revelator), received nominations for the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Their 2003 album, Soul Journey, introduced electric guitar, drums and a more upbeat sound to their body of work. After a gap of eight years, they released their fifth studio album, The Harrow & The Harvest, in 2011.
Welch was an associate producer and performed on two songs of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, a platinum album that won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2002. Welch has collaborated and recorded with distinguished musicians such as Alison Krauss, Ryan Adams, Jay Farrar, Emmylou Harris, The Decemberists, and Ani DiFranco. Welch and Rawlings perform at many music festivals.
I saw the sun, though it didn't shine
Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time
No wind to blow the silver leaves
The drone of clever talk just stopped
The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought
Away from me
And the sky colored heavy gray
August Day
Stir the dust and carve a rhyme
Barefoot blues watch and wait till supper time
Will a smile break through
Distant thunder and the slow dance
Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance
And say, "I love you"
And the sky colored heavy gray
August Day
August Day
And the sky colored heavy gray
August Day

I'm sitting here thinking damn isn't that a shame
You're kissing on your lady while she's mumbling my name
You think that you're a playa, look who's numbers on my pager
I told you she'd be callin me sayin she's all in love with me
We took it to the beach then she gave a little speech
How she loves the way we grind when we lay between the sheets
It's getting kind of shady second thoughts about your lady
But you were still telling people that you two were getting married
Now go ahead and get your marry on, while I carry one
Drinking perron, with your lady through my song
I knew it all along, she be coming back for more
When she was on her knees you were working at the store
Sweating 9 to 5 while she suits me in your ride
Getting hickies on my neck putting baby girl in check
Went once went twice it's the stalker of your life
Got you wonderin can you trust her as your wife
[chorus]

[Mr. Lil One]
Now I know your state of mind can't compare to mine
I fin to brake it down like an ese doin time
You grief through the highs, stroll through the lows
You watch how you act cause your character shows
How you really are, never mind a rap star
You pretty face girl but your ass behind bars
Now your in a tank with slippers and rules
some of them g's and some of them fools
Sitting there stressin, sad reminissen
Never really flew straigh so she's a peasent
Yes indeed, I'n knowin what you need
Learn how to write and learn how to read
All between the lines all between the lies
Sit there and learn while she's giving me the eyes
Take her to the pad, take her to the crib
Give it to her raw like you never did
[chorus]
repeat 2
[Mr. Shadow]
I'm flossing on your rims while you rap about your brims
You need to reculaged while your girl comfess her sins
Making scary hits while you be licking harry tits
Ask your lady where shes been while you punchin in at 6
You better be ready to her some ruff and nasty sex
Like how she pages me from work with that 14to 3 that 69er
I know shes been a tough one rough enough to bust one
Never have I loved one so how the hell could I love one
Lust one, never have I wined her or dined her
I leave that up to you cause all I do is get behind her
I find it kind of funny every week you give her money
With that she buys the lotion she be rubbin all over my tummy
Huggin me and kissing me looking me in the eyes
Tellin me how she loves me and wants me in her life
But I aint payin no minds cause all Im doing is making pine
I told your future wife that nickels aint my type
[chorus]
