It's cool to see Eddy here and see the progression to the Unshaven record...MONSTER tone... his hybrid lead/rhythm playing is unmatched. If Nashville was in Texas, it would sound like Eddy. The most seamless musical blend of country, blues, and rock playing I've ever heard. Awesome.

Billy/Eddy kick ass.

RIP ED

Billy and Eddy used to come through Chicago. Great musicians.

Google Eddy Shaver and The Thunderhawks and it tells the whole story. God Bless.

Unfortunately i haven't Steve. Everyone who ever heard Eddy play knew how awesome his guitar playing was. Unfortunately what a lot of people didn't know is that Eddy was also able to write some great song and had a beautiful singing voice.

Rosie ever hear some of that stuff Eddy did with Tony Sarno? They guy sounded just like Bon Scott. I heard they played a few frat parties around Nashville I believe it was and I would have loved to have been there. Said they played AC/DC and lots of Stones. I have one CD that was almost finished called The Thunderhawks,. Gosh, that would have been a great band...

[rosalie daniel]

LOL. I can believe it. That sounds like Eddy

[SteveGaines]

I still talk to RT Scott and he always talks about Eddy. Billy Joe said Eddy told him once..."YOUR NOT MY REAL DADDY...BILLY GIBBONS IS"...LOL

Steve, Eddy loved his dad and they were so amazing together. Eddy's favorite music to listen to and play was rock. I remember he was so excited when he started playing with the delta rebels. He took after his mother. She liked rock music too. Billy never did like rock music lol

[rosalie daniel]

Steve, Eddy loved his dad and they had such an awesome chemistry when they played , but his heart was in playing and listening to Rock music. I remember him being sooo excited about the Delta Rebels. He got his love for rock music from his mother. She loved Rock music also, Billy never really did care for that type of music lol

Good to know what is what Rosie. The DVD I bought said October of 79...So I guess this more like it he would have been 22. Never failed to watch Eddy. Even Saw him in Memphis back in the late 80's playing with The RT Scott Band. I even have the album they recorded "DOWN IN THE DIRT". Quite the band Eddy and Steve Ingle from Southern Creed on guitar and Memphis legend and Session musician Greg Morrow on drums. I loved the song "HOWLING AT THE MOON".
