Music reviews of Victory
Music Review: The next logical step...
Rating: 5 Stars
Billy Joe Shaver reminded the world that he was alive and well with 1993's TRAMP ON YOUR STREET (Zoo). From this hard rocker he moved on to the slower, more introspective HIGHWAY OF LIFE (1996, Justice). This release, on New West Records, strips it all down completely. Just Eddy and Billy and two guitars. And the result is astounding.I had heard that this record was "inspirational" in content. I think that that is a bit misleading. I would describe it as wholly "spiritual." This is a raw, personal album, beautifully presented, and equal in its importance and beauty to Johnny Cash's AMERICAN RECORDINGS (American, 1994) and UNCHAINED (American, 1996).
Recorded in just seven days, this is Shaver's most impressive album to date in that it shows him at his most vulnerable - in the midst of an extremely personal moment with his guard completely down. And this, in fact, turns out to be his finest form.

Description of Victory
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Unfortunately, the roots of this record stem from a terminal illness in the Shaver family. Yet, as has been proved often, some of the most rewarding music grows out of misery and misfortune. The pared-down gospel originals offered by Billy Joe and son Eddy perhaps hit a little too close to home. Stark and desolate yet illuminating, Victory vividly illustrates the difference between spirituality and religiousness and the conflict between the worldly and the ethereal. --Marc Greilsamer
Those who discovered (or rediscovered) the power of Billy Joe Shaver via 1993's eye-opening Tramp on Your Street will have to readjust their expectations with Victory. While Tramp (like Victory, credited simply to Shaver to reflect the vital contributions of Billy Joe's son and lead guitarist, Eddy) was a raucous affair, this outing is gentle and reflective. Recorded over six days with just father and son playing acoustic instruments, Victory is as sound and austere as a church pew. Billy Joe is in a plaintive mood here, meditating on the tribulations of this ephemeral earth throughout a dozen country-gospel originals. From the a cappella opener, "Son of Calvary" ("When my day on earth has ended / And the race is over run / I will melt into the likeness / Of my own beloved ones") through the laid-bare closer, "The Bow and the Arrow," this Victory is hard won--and justified. --Steven Stolder
