This live recording comes from the Bluebird Cafe,Nashville,January 24,1992.Billy Joe is joined by son Eddie on acoustic guitar, and family friend Keith Christopher playing acoustic bass.The Bluebird has long been a great venue for acoustic music.
The 14 songs included here were all written by Billy,and include such greats as Georgia on a fast train,Honky Tonk Heroes,Highway of Life.Billy talks and tells tales,his wife Brenda is sitting front row enjoying it all.Included is the new song Live Forever,which has become such a meaningful song since Eddies passing.His playing on the acoustic guitar is pure joy--he could tear it up with the best of them,but his acoustic playing sets him above them all--he is sadly missed,but will always be in our hearts.
This CD is a wonderful release and essential for all fans of Shaver,Texas music, and just pure great songs performed by one of the best.Sound is great,includes a nice review of the show by Todd Snider who was there and has since become a great friend of Billys.
