Billy Joe Shaver; August 16, 1939 - October 28, 2020 First time I knew of Billy Joe Shaver, he was an unannounced opening act for Willie Nelson at a concert in Nashville in the seventies. He was playing, with the lights on, as people were coming in. He was great!
I grew up listening to country. Merle. Willie, Waylon all came to mind so easily but I was not familiar with Billy Joe Shaver until my friend Nick told me of his years touring with him and introduced me to this video in particular. I'm so impressed and saddened that I didn't get to embrace the legend while he was alive. I look forward to getting to know more of his music now. Great song, great performance and so nice to see him with Willie on David Letterman. Proud of Nick Gaitan too, from Houston, so young and talented, he's the musician playing the bass. Respect.
Billy Joe Shaver is the greatest. Never tire of listening to his music. Wish he'd brought Waylon with him though. Broke the mold after God made Billy Joe Shaver and Waylon Jennings. You'll never see Billy without his signature Wrangler blue denim with pearl snaps for buttons shirts. Billy had a lot of heartaches in his lifetime. Especially losing his son Eddie.
Met Billy Joe and his son when they played at a small club in Houston back in 1994. Invited to their van and he gave my a free C.D. which was very gracious of him. Had him sign it too just wished his son had signed it too before his passing.
Billy Joe shaver. Look at wailon jennings look he sold a million freaking copies. The first country singer to do that lookout. Betty, Billy Joe Shafer songs, that Shafer route. You don't get the credit that he deserves, you better bet your sweet a** he's so where on a country hit
Great value 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I added one more like to cancel whoever doesn't like Billy Joe & Willie. Shakespeare songwriters. Amen.
Probably a baby boy Bieber fan don't know what music is

Billy Joe was still making great music. An amazing talent.
True writer , music flowed inside him what kept him going all those years ❤
Fabulous !!!
and Billy Joe's hat is shaped cool as sheet. :)
Thank you!! I’ve always tried to shape my hats like his
I miss David Letterman not only cause he was the best show after Johnny Carson ! Also for having Willie & Billy Joe on his show !
Letterman loved to give great musicians off the beaten path a place to play.
Well if that ain’t a Billie Joe Shaver written song, I’ll kiss your ass.
Still kicking ass, Ataboy Willy...
Sinners and saints

Billie Joe Shave never gets as much credit as he deserves but the proof is right here.
I agree!
Great songwriter. The albums he made with his son on guitar are great.

Two of a kind
Best ever country combination
You must have forgot about Waylon.
2:49 😂
First 2 tracks Tramp On Your Street. That was the BEST. With Waylon!!!!!!
Billy Joe Shaver, one of the best dudes I ever hung with
The harmonica is great
❤
Wow.........
Studio version is better.
Both Willie and Billy have better suited musicians than the ones backing them at the Letterman show
Billy Joe Shaver and Willie that's some history on that stage
