Willie Nelson says Billy Joe Shaver may be the best songwriter alive today, and legions of fans agree that Billy Joe is the real deal.
Many describe his songs as pure poetry.
Shaver sings about a life that's been full of hard times, wild living, and a forty-year-long passion for his late wife Brenda.
His songs are raw, honest, and so true that people hear the story of their own lives in his music.
No wonder, then, that his songs have also been recorded by artists such as Jo.
