Shaver – Victory (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Billy Joe Shaver spent decades earning his place among the true architects of outlaw country, penning songs that Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson all recognized as the real thing. By the time Victory arrived, he and Eddy had forged a live sound rooted as much in raw gospel conviction as in Texas roadhouse grit, with Eddy's stinging guitar work pushing his father's weathered baritone into territory few country records dare to go.
In 1998, New West Records was in it's infancy. The label had only released a handful of records before becoming fortunate enough to work with Shaver, a duo consisting of Billy Joe Shaver and his son, Eddy Shaver. The guitar virtuoso son and the outlaw-country hit-songwriter formed an incredible pair that would go on to release 6 critically acclaimed albums. Shaver had released three full length albums before signing to New West Records. Their fourth album, Victory, was released in 1998 and helped put the label on the map. The spiritual and almost confessional nature of the record combined with startling vocal performances helped put Billy Joe Shaver front and center again as well. In celebration of 25 years working with this amazing catalog, New West Records is proud to release Victory on vinyl for the first time. This is a one-time color pressing. These will not be pressed again. Each record is packaged in a colored foil paper sleeve with foil stamped sequential numbering 0001-2000. This record is limited to 2000 copies. A1.
