ARTIST BIO: BILLY JOE SHAVER-BIO- 16 September 1941, Corsicana, Texas, USA. Shaver was raised in Waco, Texas, and lost two fingers in a sawmill accident. In typically contradictory fashion, he took up bronc-busting as a safer job and started to learn guitar. An early song, ‘Two Bits Worth Of Nothing’, was written about his wife - a woman he has both married and divorced three times! Shaver spent some years in Nashville before Bobby Bare discovered him. He and Bare co-wrote his first single, ‘Chicken On The Ground’, for Mercury Records in 1970. Bare hit the US country charts with the simple, gutsy philosophy of ‘Ride Me Down Easy’ in 1973. Johnny Rodriguez did well with ‘I Couldn’t Be Me Without You’, while Tom T. Hall favoured ‘Old Five And Dimers’ and a song about Willie Nelson, ‘Willy The Wandering Gypsy And Me’. Waylon Jennings’ important Honky Tonk Heroes contained nine Shaver songs, including their co-written ‘You Ask Me To’, which was subsequently recorded by Elvis Presley. Shaver’s first album, produced by Kris Kristofferson, contained his gruff-voiced versions of many excellent songs including his first country hit, ‘I Been To Georgia On A Fast Train’. His Texan influences (blues, jazz, Mexican) and his themes (life on the road, brief encounters, how it used to be) fitted in with outlaw country music. His best song, ‘Black Rose’, tells of his love for a black girl and contains the dubious line, ‘The Devil made me do it the first time, The second time I done it on my own.’ Shaver hated live performances and he fell prey to ulcers, alcoholism and drug-addiction, so much so that an album for MGM Records was never made. Other songwriters wrote about him, including Kris Kristofferson’s ‘The Fighter’ and Tom T. Hall’s ‘Joe, Don’t Let The Music Kill You’. In 1976, Shaver released his second album and followed it with a glittering line-up (Willie Nelson, Ricky Skaggs, Emmylou Harris) for ‘Gypsy Boy’. He turned to religion and ‘I’m Just An Old Chunk Of Coal (But I’m Gonna Be A Diamond Someday)’ was recorded by both Johnny Cash and John Anderson. Perhaps there were too many outlaw singers and Shaver, with his lack of product, was overlooked. His output up to 1990 of six studio albums in 17 years, with several songs repeated, was astonishingly low, particularly for a country singer. He enjoyed a creative renaissance in the 90s with Shaver, a duo he formed with his guitar-playing son Eddy. On New Year’s Eve 2000, shortly after father and son had completed recording their sixth album together, Eddy was found dead in an Austin, Texas hotel room of a suspected heroin overdose. Billy Joe’s first album following that tragedy was released in 2002, and Freedom’s Child proved to be a powerful and revealing collection. Shaver was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004. EDDY'S OBITUARY- SHAVER, JOHN EDWIN [EDDY] (1962–2000). Guitarist, arranger, and songwriter Eddy Shaver was born John Edwin Shaver on June 20, 1962, in Waco, Texas. He was the son of legendary Texas singer–songwriter Billy Joe Shaver and wife Brenda (Tindell) Shaver. Because his father was a well-known performer, Eddy Shaver grew up around music and musicians. By the age of twelve, he could play the guitar and went on to learn guitar techniques from some of his father’s famous friends, including Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band. By age thirteen, Eddy began playing on some of his father’s demo recordings, including “When I Get My Wings.” This early exposure to performing and recording gave Eddy the chance to network with other musicians, and he soon began playing and touring with the band, The Can’t Hardly Playboys. Within a few years, Billy Joe had taken Eddy out of school, and the two began recording more demos together. With Eddy on lead guitar and his father on vocals, the two soon landed a recording contract with Capricorn Records in California. Eddy had a unique playing style that some referred to as “controlled distortion.” This technique of stretching out notes, while still staying on the beat caught the attention of country star Dwight Yoakam in 1984. Eddy went on to tour with Yoakam for two years in 1987 and 1989. Eddy also performed with many other artists including Guy Clark, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson. In 1993 Billy Joe and Eddy Shaver released the critically-acclaimed album Tramp on Your Street . Throughout the 1990s, Eddy’s guitar work brought him great acclaim and even comparisons to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Perhaps ironically, it was Eddy’s hard-driving rock-and-roll  guitar style that also earned the father-son duo some criticism. Some fans argued that Eddy’s guitar playing did not fit well with Billy Joe’s more traditional honky-tonk style. Nevertheless, the two continued recording and performing together. In 1999 Brenda Shaver died of cancer. Eddy was devastated by the loss of his mother. Soon afterward, he admitted to his father that he was a heroin addict. Eddy’s unsuccessful attempts at drug rehabilitation led to growing conflicts with Billy Joe. However, the two were able to reconcile some of their problems when they recorded their next album, The Earth Rolls On , which featured their duet “Blood is Thicker than Water,” and was scheduled for release in the spring of 2001. He married Irene Triola on October 19, 2000. As 2000 was coming to a close, Eddy Shaver was working to stay off drugs and was looking forward to recording a solo album on the Antone's Records label. However, on December 30, 2000, he was found unconscious in a Waco hotel room and was pronounced brain dead at 2:58 A.M. on December 31. The details of his death were unclear, but police determined that Eddy Shaver died of an accidental heroin overdose. Despite the tragedy, Billy Joe decided to play his scheduled New Year’s Eve show in Austin where he was joined by Willie Nelson and numerous other friends in remembering Eddy Shaver’s life and career. Eddy Shaver was survived by his wife, Irene, his father, Billy Joe Shaver, his aunt, Patricia Shaver, and numerous cousins and friends. He was buried at Heritage Memorial Park in Waco.
