Billy Joe Shaver never would forget the moment he memorialized his salvation into song. “I was out on a cliff at the narrows of the Harpeth River, close to Kingston Springs, [Tennessee],” he said in 2008. “I was about to die…But as I was coming down from that mountain at about four in the morning, I sang the first half of that song and got it into ...
Everyone from Waylon to Jamey Johnson to Nanci Griffith would sing this honky-tonk ballad, but there were few cuts Shaver was more proud of than Elvis Presley’s theatrical 1973 rendition of this tearjerker. “I wanted to take every song and make it about something different. I kind of learned that in a way from Elvis Presley,” Shaver told Rolling St...
Originally recorded for Waylon Jennings’ 1973 opus Honky Tonk Heroes, “Ain’t No God in Mexico” was also cut by Shaver for his 1976 album When I Get My Wings. In Shaver’s telling, it’s the one that swayed Jennings to record a bunch of his songs. “He said, ‘You play me one song, and if I don’t like that song you’re going to get your ass up and get ou...
When Shaver played “Willy the Wandering Gypsy and Me” after the Dripping Springs Reunion in 1972, Waylon Jennings took notice and extended an invitation to come write songs for him in Nashville. Based on the itinerant life of fellow Texas songwriter Willie Nelson, it perfectly illustrates those combined feelings of rootlessness and freedom familiar...
In 1993, Shaver took stock of his impact in the song “Live Forever,” which he cowrote with his son Eddy. The tune first appeared on Shaver’s Tramp on Your Street album, which featured Billy Joe and Eddy together. “Just like the songs I leave behind me, I’m gonna live forever now,” the Shavers sing in harmony over acoustic guitar and a thumping rhyt...
With its bouncy internal rhyme scheme meter, the title track to Shaver’s 1973 debut introduced the singer as a Texas country poet on par with that album’s producer, Kris Kristofferson. “Fenced yards ain’t hole cards and like as not never will be,” sang Shaver over a rollicking barroom piano. Despite never becoming a hit, the song would become one o...
Another great song Billy Joe Shaver penned for Waylon Jennings after they crossed paths in the early Seventies, “Ride Me Down Easy” is an outlaw’s repentance. Jennings sings about leaving his hell-raising days, yesterday’s wine, and some satisfied women in the past as he prepares himself for the final leap, or maybe he just wants to turn over a new...
“The devil made me do it the first time, the second time I did it on my own,” Shaver growls in one of many killer lines in “Black Rose,” recorded for Old Five and Dimers Like Me the same year Jennings cut it for Honky Tonk Heroes. Set to a funky, upbeat rhythm, the tune describes the magnetic pull of a woman “with the tools you need,” which accordi...
On his first big hit, Billy Joe Shaver was in a reflective, sunny mood. The artist’s 1973 single “I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train” was something like an autobiography as he recalled over a galloping rhythm how his mother split when he was born (in reality it was his father who hightailed it) and he fell in love with country music while picking co...
