  • Outlaw Country hero Billy Joe Shaver performed for years with his guitar-playing son Eddy as the duo Shaver. Some time after the younger Shaver died of a drug overdose in 2000, his father decided to complete the unfinished tracks for what would have been Eddy's first solo album. Nearly all the songs were co-written by Eddy, and feature his guitar and vocals. Eddy had always brought a driving rock influence to Billy Joe's songs, and that influence has never been more apparent than on BILLY AND THE KID.
  • Appropriately for someone who learned to play under the wing of Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts and was given Duane Allman's guitar as a teenager, Eddy bore a strong Allman Brothers influence in his searing, twangy guitar work, gravelly, Gregg Allman-like vocals, and blues-rock song structures. Were it not for the lighter touches of Billy Joe's contributions, BILLY AND THE KID might have sounded quite a bit like a latter-day Gregg Allman solo album. As it stands, the disc is a hybrid of country, rock, and blues, tilted a bit more to the harder side of things than the Shaver albums.
