BLACK RIBBONS, the highly anticipated new album from singer-songwriter SHOOTER JENNINGS, features a unique collaboration between Jennings and best-selling author STEPHEN KING. The 70-minute concept album, in stores on March 2, sees King providing the voice of “Will O’ The Wisp,” a late-night talk radio host who is in the last hour of his final broadcast before the airwaves are overtaken by “government-approved and regulated transmissions.”
With nothing left to lose, the radio host lets loose with a series of rants, punctuating his diatribes with selections from the discography of (Jennings’ new band) Hierophant. Throughout the album’s 14 songs, Will O’ The Wisp flits in and out, painting an apocalyptic picture of what America could become in the not-so-distant future, while offering his loyal listeners–from whom he is about to be permanently cut off–the unvarnished truth.
