Billy Joe Shaver Is one of the last surviving real outlaw country artists. He's not only performed, but has written music for the best of the best in country. BJ Shaver is "The Real Deal". I love this song!!!

  • I'm from Texas and, I shit you not, BJS is the REAL DEAL.

  • I guessed that (I live in England) A friend got me a listening to Billy Joe's music, and I tell you it grows on you. He is, in my view, a great visionary poet, and he gets the best musicians too....I love "get thee behind me satan" and "If I give my soul"....Billy Joe's is the most hair raising, honest, generous, authentic, attractive (and funky) music I heard for a long time. I guess he is a tough act to follow.....

  • is'nt Funny how someone can be looking for a new man when the Have The Real Deal....never having a clue that they Have the Real Deal.

  • Well said, MrRacer - & probably in all Country music today. He's got 10 gigs in the 1st 10 days of December 2011 in almost as many states & at every one he'll be the Real Deal! What a 72 year-old

  • Best Damn Singer song writer in TEXAS THE REAL DEAL !

  • MrAsaph1960...Would that friend have been Teddie488? I fully agree with you on BJS...Love his music so much...Thank you for sharing BJS's true to life songs, born out of all the hardships life offered him...They don't sing/write 'em like that, from the heart any more...

  • Great song!!! thanks for posting.

  • @MrAsaph1960 Billy truly is a great visionary poet! His greatness is more recognized across the water than here, Americans tend to undervalue the intrinsically American. I love literature written in the vernacular, Heathcliff's Yorkshire & Huck Finn's Missouri drawl, etc. Billy's truth is as pure & straight as Twain's & he's as elegant as Coleridge & as funny as the finest Irish limericks! Those who recognize TRUE ART have loved him forever & the other greats always have too! God bless BJS!!!

  • See with music like this i can't see why people can hate america...Even though we got crap like rap an hip hop the real americans like this is what makes america, well AMERICA!

  • I love this song! Great post!

  • You make me squeal BJS.
