Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: As pure as it gets Comment: If you want to hear music that is from the heart and raw, then this CD is for you. I enjoy music that isn't tweaked to sound pretty or "top 40". This man has gone through some stuff and you hear it in his music. Also, he has influenced just about everyone of this genre of music. ALERT!!! There is an extended version of this CD out there so don't miss out on a few extra songs like I unfortunately did. Customer Rating: Summary: best of 07 Comment: this is in my opinion the best album of 2007 and the best i've heard for a long time......not one bad song on the cd.......i listen to it nearly everyday!!! Great work!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Honky Tonk Hero shows his Spiritual Side Comment: It's hard not to be a long time country music fan without hearing a Billy Joe Shaver song. In the 70's Waylon Jennings did a whole album of Shaver's music. And, since then, nearly everybody has covered at least one of his songs - Rockers, Country, Blues, Folk; they have all done one or two. Shaver has always unleashed his emotions in his music. And a whole lot of his songs have covered the ups and downs of a rambling honky-tonk lifestyle. Yet throughout all of his music there were numerous references to his Christian roots and his long term spiritual values. This album uncovers the veneer and pushes his values to front and center. There may be some who are turned off by the overtly fundamentalist Christian messages. The music speaks for itself. But, if you are a Christian (I am)and you too have walked down some tonky-tonk paths (I have), you are going to love every track on this work. Customer Rating: Summary: Billy Joe Shaver [EVERYBODY'S BROTHER] Comment: Billy Joe is still going STRONG! everyone in the USA should listen to the title track EVERYBODY'S BROTHER. It has a real strong message. what a better world this would be if everyone lived like this, used to be like this in the USA. when people had respect for one another! God Bless America and God Bless Billy Joe Shaver for this very STRONG message Customer Rating: Summary: One of Billy Joe's best Comment: I've been a fan of Billy Joe for many years and I have every CD he has released. I have listened to this album many times since I purchased it and I have to say that this is definately one of his best; not to far behind his very best, Tramp on Your Street. Billy Joe is one of the best and most consistant songwriters today. If you are a fan don't hesitate to buy this. If you are new to Billy Joe this is as good a place to start as any. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Spiritual songs have long been a strength of Billy Joe Shaver, the Texas songwriter championed by such stalwarts as Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson. Here, Shaver and producer John Carter Cash (son of Johnny and June) balance songs of sin and salvation with those of love and loss, as a reflection of how the deaths of his beloved mother, wife, and son have reinforced his religions faith. Guest vocals from John Anderson, Marty Stuart, Tanya Tucker, Kristofferson, and Cash (in a 1970 duet) enhance rather than compete with Shaver's rough-hewn vocals, while the American Indian instrumentation of Bill Miller on the title track deepens the spiritual resonance. For all of the stately reverence of "When I Get My Wings," Shaver displays his more rollicking, raucous side as well, particularly on "If You Don't Love Jesus" ("go to hell"). --Don McLeese
