Billy Joe Shaver, who hails from no less a faith-plagued locale than Waco, Tex., hauled his 6-foot, 63-year-old self up on stage to play the most moving set of country music I've ever heard. Through cussedness and bad luck, Shaver has never achieved the fame of some of his friends, but when he takes the stage he has all the force of legend. He played the classics he wrote for everyone from the late Waylon Jennings (whose 1973 disc of Shaver songs, Honky Tonk Heroes, was the Rosetta Stone of the "outlaw country" movement) to the Allman Brothers, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, George Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Billy Paul, Scott Walker, and Dylan and Cash themselves. He sang lines like "The devil made me do it the first time/ The second time I did it on my own," and "I'm just an old lump of coal, but I'm gonna be a diamond one day."
