Music reviews of The Earth Rolls On
Music Review: Eddie's swan song
Rating: 5 Stars
Tragically, Eddie Shaver passed away soon after this cd was completed. He was just too damn young. He left us with a legacy though. Here, he and dad Billy Joe rock one final time with one hell of a country rock album. Billy Joe's songwriting is legendary enough, but he seemed to really get to the heart of some touchy subjects here and turn it up a notch. Especially cool is him and Eddie going back and forth on "Blood is thicker than water." Some very honest and nasty lyrics. I can't help but feel for B.J. as on the back of the disc, there's a picture of him putting his hand in a window; as if he's reaching out for Eddie. I like all Shaver cd's, but this ranks as one of the best for sure.
Description of The Earth Rolls On
Father and son Shaver achieve one of their most powerful syntheses to date--punctuating the plainspoken poetry of Billy Joe's hardscrabble songs with the electrifying charge of Eddy's blues-rock guitar. Recruiting musicians that include Springsteen bassist Gary Tallent and Wilco's keyboardist Jay Bennett and drummer Ken Coomer, the Shavers push country music to its extremes. It's hard to imagine a more exhilarating anthem than the album-opening "Love Is So Sweet," a funnier kiss-off song than "Leavin' Amarillo," or a gut-punch testament that hits harder than the collection's centerpiece, "Blood Is Thicker Than Water." On the six-minute title cut that closes the album, Eddy displays a subtle sensitivity at odds with his reputation as a guitar firebrand. Unfortunately, one of 2001's best albums is a bittersweet triumph, a renewal for the father but an epitaph for the son, with Eddy's death following the sessions. --Don McLeeseGeneral CDs
