		To Eddy Shaver, the best part of playing with his dad is that Shaver, the band, is just a power trio backing up Billy.
		He was a member of the Memphis based Delta Rebels, who recorded for Polygram ("It was an AC/DC kind of thing") in the early part of the decade as well as playing lead guitar in Dwight Yoakam's band from 1987 to 1989.
		The younger Shaver asserts that he picked up the guitar at the age of 11 after his passion for motorcycles incurred one too many trips to the hospital.

	RelishNow \| Honky-tonk original Billy Joe Shaver high - on life
		Shaver is one of the most legendary singers and songwriters in Texas, a state that has produced a typically Lone-Star-size number of top-shelf songwriters.
		Shaver was along for the ride - he was "the boys" in "Waylon, Willie and the boys" - but his star didn't rise too far beyond the circle of first-call Texas songwriters.
		Shaver was on the verge of stardom in 1993 when he formed Shaver, a rambunctious honky-tonk quartet that featured son Eddy on flame-throwing guitar.

		Eddy dropped out of school in the 10th grade to play guitar on Willie Nelson's Redheaded Stranger tour and began bringing his own sound to his father's band.
		Eddy said it is hard to put into words what the family is going through.

		Those already familiar with Billy Joe Shaver's music and the tragic tale of how he lost his mother, his wife, and his only son in the same year will not be surprised that Billy Joe has returned to pay tribute to his son and collaboarator, Eddy Shaver.
		Eddy Shaver's death from a drug overdose on New Year's Eve 2000 may not have been a shock to those familiar with "the kid." He'd battled various addictions for years and turned to heroin after the deaths of his mother and grandmother earlier that year.
		Eddy's talents are apparent throughout, from his soaring electric guitar riffs on "Baptism of Fire" to his gruff and bluesy vocals on "King of Fools." The whole package is showcased on the closing track, "Necessary Evil." Then again, his talent was a well-known commodity.

		L.A. Billy Joe Shaver, widely recognized as one of country music's greatest songwriters, is continually beset by a cycle of professional and personal woes that seems weirdly inevitable.
		Along the bruised-knuckled, booze-sodden way, Shaver has continued, almost miraculously, to prove himself one of country music's most compelling voices, a writer whose ear for both simplicity and metaphor is unsurpassed.
		Shaver strips layers of self-deception from his own life and, with unblinking severity and unusually spare language, turns the process into song.

		Shaver: Yes, she did and she causes me not to be on that Wanted: The Outlaws.
		Shaver: They called me one time and said, "You gotta get down here and do it," and what it was, I had band members that were on heroin, man, and I couldn't find either one of 'em.

		And then, this past New Year’s Eve, the body of his son, the fiery country-rock guitarist Eddy Shaver, was found dead of a drug overdose in a Waco hotel room.
		This was only days before Eddy, who’d backed Dwight Yoakam and Waylon Jennings and collaborated with his father in the band Shaver, was to start work on his first solo album.
		Shaver comes off as a man of few words, most of which he pours into his songwriting.

		Shaver’s gift for plainspoken words that mesh effortlessly with the music is front and center on "People and Their Problems," whose opening stanza, about a sister's good-for-little son who wants a job from his uncle, flits off Shaver's tongue with incredulity and venom.
		Eddy Shaver’s guitar work is fiery and expressive, and the song he contributes, "Heart to Heart," fits in with dad’s tunes -- no small feat.
		Electric Shaver shows the outlaw spirit and intrinsic humanity of one of the best country songwriters alive -- two traits that are not easy to reconcile in life let alone song.

		With that, the elder Shaver gives a nod to the son and the wife who preceded him in leaving this life, and one can hear the pain, the sorrow, and the joy of having known and loved in his voice all at the same time.
		Eddy, naturally, provides the omega, in the closing track "Necessary Evil." Here we are once again faced with the singer accompanied only by guitar.
		Even though we only catch a glimpse of what we may have heard had Eddy survived, it becomes apparent to the listener that he would have been a major contender on the musical scene once his solo project was released.

		He and Eddy (the couple's only child) spent the last four years staying off the road as much as possible so they could care for Brenda, driving her to chemotherapy treatments in Austin and in Waco and staying with her after surgery.
		Shortly after their marriage, Shaver lost four fingers in a sawmill accident, two of which were partially reattached.
		Shaver used to be the rowdiest, roughest, and hardest-living of the country music outlaws--"Whatever anyone was doing, Billy Joe was doing more of it than anyone else," Tom T. Hall once said.

		Shaver's career has been wrought with peaks and valleys, ranging from the honor of having Waylon Jennings record almost an entire album of Shaver tunes, to the sad fact that many of the record labels he has worked with folded following the release of one of his 12 albums.
		Shaver is quite stoic about the label woes, and is quick to point out that almost everything he's recorded has been reissued.

		Eddy's indelible fingerprints are all over the album, from the twang-happy "Hard Headed Heart" and the jaunty blues "Sail of My Soul" to the anguished architectural grace of the climactic "The Earth Rolls On." "He just plugged in and played that solo," says Kennedy.

		Eddy's musical vision is strongly present as the production of this album deftly flows and dips into swing, rock, country and folk without ever getting in Billy Joe's way.
		Though Shaver's songs are better known than he is, his records, particularly in the last decade, have been every bit as good as the classic outlaw discs he helped pen.
		Shaver's fans, along with those of the original outlaws, and listeners who wandered in through the alt.country and Americana doors should all give this a spin or three.

	Honky Tonk Gift Shop - Billy Joe Shaver
		Billy Joe, who wrote or cowrote 11 of the 12 cuts on Electric Shaver, is a sort of footloose, back-street Texas poet-pilgrim whose greatest original songs infuse the stark imagery of sun-baked losers and outlaws with homespun earnestness and spiritual yearning.
		While at times the elder Shaver tended to be an indifferent, occasionally off-key singer, Eddy has proved the perfect antidote to his dad's occasional vocal lethargy.
		Shaver's own albums, though, are highly prized among critics and his fellow musicians, and both those camps celebrated the release of only his second album in 11 years, 1996's Tramp on Your Street.

		But Shaver is nothing if not a survivor, and with the help of bypass surgery, his strong Christian faith, and no small amount of support from friends like Kinky Friendman and Willie Nelson, he’s found a new lease on life at age 63.
		Not to fulfill a record contract, not to keep his fans happy and not even to put food on the table, but simply because he was still living, and thus, still writing songs about his life and family that he couldn’t bare to keep to himself.

	Book review: Billy Joe Shaver's 'Honky Tonk Hero'
		All of this attention has come in the wake of losing the two most important people in his life: Brenda succumbed to cancer in 1999, and their son Eddy — Shaver's longtime guitarist and musical soulmate — died of a drug overdose (or, suspects Shaver, murder) on the last day of 2000.
		Not surprisingly, Shaver's hard-knock life ("I was not even born yet when my father first tried to kill me," he begins) makes for compelling reading in "Honky Tonk Hero," a corker of a tale as ripe for big screen adaptation as Ray Charles' or Johnny Cash's.
		But readers less familiar with Shaver's music — particularly the adrenaline-charged albums he made with Eddy in the '90s — will be left in the dark as to how much father and son came to depend on each other, as much best friends as family.

	Official Ticketmaster site. Billy Joe Shaver tickets, dates
		Billy Joe Shaver never became a household name, but his songs -- including "Good Christian Soldier," "Willie the Wandering Gypsy and Me," and "I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train" -- became country standards during the '70s and his reputation among musicians and critics didn't diminish during the next two decades.
		One of the best synopses of Billy Joe Shaver's upbringing is his own song, "I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train." When he sings that "my grandma's old-age pension is the reason that I'm standing here today," he ain't kidding.
		The "good Christian raising" and "eighth grade education" -- not to mention being abandoned by his parents shortly after being born, working on his uncles' farms instead of going to high school, and losing part of his fingers during a job at a sawmill -- are all part of his life story.
