Blackie Jackett Jr. are the country music side project of Finger Eleven's James Black and Rick Jackett and friends. Although they have fun with a lot of country cliches, they want everyone to know this is no joke and they have a lot of love for the genre. Black sings lead and plays acoustic guitar, while Jackett picks at a banjuitar on these 14...
