Description:
For the first time in his four-decade career, Billy Joe Shaver fans can find eighteen of his most popular songs in one place. Outlaw poet laureate Billy Joe Shaver has had his songs covered by an impressive list of performers including Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Bob Dylan and The Allman Brothers Band, to name a few. Waylon Jennings` 1973 Honky Tonk Heroes album, widely credited for launching the Outlaw movement in country music, featured ten of Shaver`s compositions. While other artists have been successful singing their versions of Shaver`s tunes, no one can deliver the lines with as much soul and honesty as the writer himself. The five-time Grammy nominee was recently crowned with the Songwriter Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. He was also inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Track Listing: Live Forever (with Big & Rich)/Good ol USA/Freedom`s Child/Try And Try Again/I`ve Been To Georgia On A Fast Train/Old Chunk Of Coal/Step On Up (with Eddy Shaver)/When Fallen Angels Fly/Honky Tonk Heroes/Melody/West Texas Waltz/Black Rose/That`s What She Said last Night/You Asked Me Too/Old Five And Dimers/Light A Candle For Me.
