Billy Joe Shaver’s debut album was Old Five and Dimers Like Me (1973). Almost every song on the album has become a classic (particularly the title track, as well as “I Been to Georgia On a Fast Train” and “Willy The Wandering Gypsy and Me”), many being performed by other artists such as David Allan Coe. When I Get My Wings (1976) included “Aint No God In Mexico” (also a hit for Waylon Jennings). Gypsy Boy (1977) included “Honky Tonk Heroes”.

Shaver is known for his hit “Live Forever”, written with the help of his son before his son’s death, performed by The Highwaymen. He also wrote numerous songs for artists such as Patty Loveless and Willie Nelson.

He had a studio recording in the late 1980s and early 1990s, before returning with the critically acclaimed Tramp On Your Street in 1993, which prominently featured the guitar playing of Eddy Shaver.

His most recent album, 2007’s country gospel style Everybody’s Brother was Grammy-nominated. Many of the songs are duets, including with Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Tanya Tucker. Musicians playing on the album included Randy Scruggs, Laura Cash and Marty Stuart.

Our 2nd Headliner is Roger Alan Wade.

Roger Alan Wade penned songs for country legends such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, George Jones and Hank Williams Jr. He has been featured on the TV show Wildboyz. In 2005, Wade released his first album All Likkered Up and in 2008 Wade’s Stoned Traveler album was also released.

Wade’s lyrics satirically deal with topics and stereotypes relating to redneck and honky tonk culture. His songs feature folky arrangements, featuring little or no accompaniment beyond acoustic guitar.
