Our Take

The best of Shaver? More like the best of luck trying to find any semblance of coherence in this cacophony of country chaos. Shavers Jewels is a diamond in the rough, and by rough, I mean a dusty old dive bar where the whiskey flows like water and the songs are as gritty as a dirt road in Texas.

Billy Joe Shaver, the outlaw poet of honky-tonk, doesn't mince words or melodies on this collection of hits and misses. From the heart-wrenching ballad "Old Five and Dimers Like Me" to the rowdy anthem "Live Forever," Shaver's songs cut straight to the bone, leaving you with a bruise and a smile.

But don't be fooled by the twang of the guitar or the drawl of Shaver's voice – there's a darkness lurking beneath the surface of these songs. Tales of love lost, lives lived hard, and dreams shattered like cheap whiskey bottles are the bread and butter of Shaver's songwriting. And yet, there's an undeniably infectious energy to his music, a rebellious spirit that can't be tamed.

In the end, Shavers Jewels is a flawed masterpiece, a testament to the enduring power of true country music. So pour yourself a tall glass of bourbon, press play, and prepare to be transported to a world where the jukebox never stops playing and the good times never end. Cheers to Shaver – a true gem in the rough.
