Music By Shawn Jenks
Rooted in real life and built on country values, this collection of songs from Shawn Jenks tells stories of freedom, faith, family, and the lessons learned along the way. Inspired by life outdoors, years on stage, and the hard roads that shape who we become, these songs blend outlaw-country grit with honest storytelling straight from the heart.
From the backwoods to the bright lights, from quiet sunrises to loud nights filled with music, this album reflects a life lived fully — embracing tradition, standing your ground, and finding peace in the moments that matter most.
Songs like “Let ’Em Ride” and “Bucks & Bullies” speak for hunters and outdoorsmen who refuse to be judged for the life they love, while “Backwoods Sunrise” captures the calm and clarity found in the early morning woods — a reminder that sometimes the outdoors says what words never can.
At the emotional core of the album is “Built In His Hands,” a deeply personal song about Shawn and his father — two strong-willed men separated by pride and silence for years. It tells the story of a relationship where “I love you” was never spoken, of fifteen years without talking, and the healing that came later in life when time and perspective brought them back together. It’s a song about forgiveness, understanding, and realizing that life is too short to carry old weight forever.
“All Our Tomorrows” reflects the hope that comes from love and second chances, while “Livin’ Free” ties everything together — an anthem about living honestly, standing tall, and embracing the life you’ve earned.
This album isn’t just music — it’s real life put to melody. It’s hard lessons. Open skies. Family ties. It’s about where you come from… and who you become.
