Billy Joe Shaver at The Maze

Date: Tue 8th Apr
Time: 20:00

Cosmic American presents Billy Joe Shaver
Shaver is truly one of the most respected living figures in American music today. Johnny Cash called him "my favourite songwriter." (His songs have been recorded by Cash as well as Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, The Allman Brothers and Bobby Bare.)
Kristofferson put up the money to produce Shaver’s first album, Old Five And Dimers Like Me, but it took the success of Waylon’s Honky Tonk Heroes (Every track but one on Jennings’ 1973 album, was written by Shaver) before anyone would take a chance on him. Shaver’s songs became anthems of the Outlaw movement.

His life is the stuff of legend, stranger than any fiction.

Billy Joe Shaver’s Spiritual Album - Everybody’s Brother Celebrates the Resiliency of the Human Spirit
Billy Joe Shaver’s been thinking about making a spiritual album for a long time, but like everything in his life, he approaches spirituality on his own terms. “Somebody called this album ‘honky tonk Gospel,’” Shaver says chuckling. “I kinda like that.”
