I will never forget the night I met Billy Joe and Eddy Shaver. At a small bar on the Ala, Fla line about a year before Eddy passed. Billy, Brenda and Eddy all together now in the sweet by and by. RIP forever.
-
I guess it's not much of a coincidence cause I listen to Billy Joe most every morning but I was mid song when you uploaded this. Thanks Otis !
-
Lordy, I have so many Billy Joe and Eddy memories and stories. Good friends, both.
-
Boy he ain't kidding about Eddy Shaver. He was one of the best in the business, with everyone else included. Right there with SRV, Clapton, Jimmie Vaughan, and Jeff Beck. Et. al. What a huge loss. I really dig this channel and Otis Gibbs' style.
-
Eddie Shaver's solo album is one of a handful of my all time favorites 🙏
-
I was at the Smith's Olde Bar live recording. We met Billy Joe that night. What a memory! He was just super nice.
-
The saying " three chords and the truth" had to have been stated with Billy Joe in mind , one of the best songwriters to ever live, and Eddy was phenomenal. Thanks for another great one Otis hope your day is a great one!
-
Great post, thank you---Eddie was indeed a great guitarist, he could tear it up with the best of them, or have the softest of touches on acoustic, he worked with Dwight Yoakum and Todd Snider as well as supporting his Dad in his final years.
-
Was lucky to see Eddy & Billy Joe 2 different times. Eddy is definitely one of my favorite players. Rest easy to both of them.
-
I met Billy Joe many times over the years and have a story for each one. One time in particular shortly after Eddy died proved his genuine kindness and badass persona at the same time and I’ll always be grateful to him for that. RIP Billy Joe you were the best.
-
Another great interview! Eddy was a guitarist's guitarist. I've never heard a single picker speak of Eddy in anything but glowing terms. Billy Joe was a songwriter's songwriter as well. Not a day goes by that they're not in my thoughts.
-
My favorite Billy Joe story is the suntan pill story. Epic!
-
One of my favorite albums is Tramp On Your Street. Really shows Eddy's guitar talent especially in Georgia On A Fast Train
-
Eddy was indeed one of the best.
-
Nice interview. I played with Billy Joe awhile shortly before Eddie 's death. Lucky enough to play with Dad and son and drummer Craig. A couple of other drummers too. They moved back to Texas. Billy Joe is my favorite Texas songwriter.

Thank you Otis Gibbs for an interview with Charlie Starr who is both an outstanding song writer and guitarist. The interview was a bit short but beggars at another's house can’t be choosy. ☮
