Put the "O" Back in Country

Put The "O" Back In Country is the first album of American country music artist Shooter Jennings. This album was released on March 01, 2005 on the Universal South label. The suggestive title parallels a controversial remark Carlene Carter once made on stage.

This album produced Jennings's only entry to date on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in the single "4th of July". The album version of this song features a cameo appearance by George Jones, who sings the chorus to his signature song "He Stopped Loving Her Today" at the end; this guest appearance was removed from the song's radio edit. Despite the edit, Jones was credited on the Billboard charts.
