Shaver was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actor. He was born on August 16, 1939 in Corsicana, Texas, USA and passed away on October 28, 2020 in Waco, Texas, USA. Known as the father of Eddy Shaver.
With his unique blend of country and rock music, Shaver made a significant impact on the music industry. His heartfelt lyrics and soulful voice resonated with audiences around the world. He was not only a talented musician but also a gifted actor.
Influenced by artists such as Joe Ely and James Hand among others*, Shaver's music captivated listeners with its raw emotion and honest storytelling. His contributions to the genre will forever be remembered.*

In 1998, New West Records was in its infancy. The label had only released a handful of records before becoming fortunate enough to work with Shaver, a duo consisting of Billy Joe Shaver and his son, Eddy Shaver. The guitar virtuoso son and the outlaw-country hit-songwriter formed an incredible pair that would go on to release 6 critically acclaimed albums. 

The duo’s final release came in April of 2001, not long after the untimely passing of Eddy Shaver. Billy Joe and Eddy had written and recorded The Earth Rolls On before Eddy’s death on December 30, 2000. The record is widely considered some of Billy Joe’s most powerful songwriting and some of Eddy’s most inspired guitar playing. The record features Ken Coomer and Jay Bennet of Wilco as well as Gary Tallent from the E Street Band. 

In celebration of 25 years working with this amazing catalog, New West Records is proud to release The Earth Rolls On  vinyl pressing  for the first time.&nbsp;
