DER US-AMERIKANISCHE COUNTRY-SÄNGER UND SONGWRITER BILLY JOE SHAVER IST GESTORBEN
30.10.2020 Der am 16. August 1939 in Corsicana (Texas) geborene US-amerikanische Sänger und Songwriter Billy Joe Shaver (Bild) ist am 28. Oktober 2020 in Waco (Texas) gestorben. Seine Songs wurden mit grossen Erfolgen u.a. von Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Bobby Bare, Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris und Johnny Cash gesungen. "Shaver erzählt in der rauen, grammatikalisch oft unsauberen Sprache der Landbevölkerung von wirklich essenziellen Dingen. Dadurch erzielen viele Songs aus der Feder von Billy Joe Shaver eine Glaubwürdigkeit, die kaum ein anderer Songwriter seiner Generation erreichen konnte."*

Ein kleines Denkmal für die Pop-Ewigkeit hat ihm (Bob Dylan) bereits 2009 errichtet. In dem Stück "I Feel a Chance Coming On" bringt der Grossmeister des Folksongs seinen Kollegen Billy Joe Shaver in einen unmittelbaren Zusammenhang mit der eigenen Songschreiberei. "I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver", heisst es darin, "I'm reading James Joyce/Some people tell me/I've got blood of the land in my voice."
