From: katlaughing

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,

kat

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.
