Shooter & Drea Give Birth to Waylon “Blackjack” Jennings
Shooter Jennings, son of country music Outlaw legend Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter, along with his long-time partner and fiance, Drea De Matteo, most famous as “Adriana” from The Sopranos, have given birth to a baby boy with a famous first name: “Waylon Albert “Blackjack” Jennings”.
Shooter’s full name is “Waylon Albright “Shooter” Jennings”.
The couple already has a daughter, “Alabama Gypsy Rose”, who was born on November 28, 2007. They have been engaged since Jennings proposed onstage at the Stanley Center during a show in Utica, New York, on June 11, 2009. The song “God Bless Alabama” from Shooter’s latest album Black Ribbons is about his daughter.
Shooter has also reportedly just finished up his next album, which is going to be a more country-oriented project, instead of the industrial-style rock album that Black Ribbons was. Shooter began his country career in 2005, releasing Put The O Back in Country through Universal South, then Electric Rodeo (2006) and The Wolf (2007).

Congratulations Shooter and Drea. Love Drea, she’s so ridiculously beautiful. It was a sad day indeed when Adriana was bumped off by Silvio. Drea also had a big part in the last (not the current) season of Desperate Housewives. Congratulations on your new role Drea!

Congratulations on the birth of the next heir to the great name of “REAL COUNTRY MUSIC”, or ALL if ANY battles he should choose to fight. May his travels be easier than his grandpas but his successes be plenty. And congratulations to Shooter & Drea on their future wedding.
