I have always been a fan of Billy Joe Shaver. My appreciation grew even greater when I saw him on Austin City Limits and realized he was missing three fingers on his right hand, playing only with his thumb and little finger.

Just heard an interview of this country singer/songwriter who songs have been covered by all kinds of big names including Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Bob Dylan.

They also played some clips from his new CD. I really enjoyed the interview, he seems have a pretty honest way about himself and where he's been. And, he's been through a hell of a lot in the past three years, esp.: mother, wife and son all died, plus he had a major heart attack. The songs, while being country, were great to hear, too.

Anyhow, thought some of you might enjoy it, too, so here ya go: click here.

Thanks,
