专辑介绍

by Jeff Burger

In the photos that accompany The Earth Rolls On, veteran country-rocker Billy Joe Shaver looks as if he's lived through some hard times, and indeed he has: His son Eddy, a key member of his band Shaver and the lead guitarist on this album, died suddenly on December 31, 2000. The year before, Bill Joe's lifelong love, Brenda, died after a lengthy illness. Shaver had divorced her twice over the years -- and married her three times. Experiences like these are reflected throughout this album, which is perhaps the most powerful of Shaver's career. &Hearts a Bustin'& is about Brenda, and so is the moving title cut (&The earth rolls on/Even though you're gone/The earth rolls on, and on, and on...); several of the other tracks, including &You're Too Much for Me& and &Star in My Heart,& concern Shaver's reportedly rocky relationship with his son. But don't get the idea that everything here is somber: &Blood Is Thicker Than Water,& also about Eddy, will bring a smile, and &Leavin' Amarillo& gets downright silly. Musically, this is fine stuff, thanks to Shaver's singing, Eddy's spirited guitar, and sterling backup from the likes of the E Street Band's Garry Tallent and Wilco's Jay Bennett and Ken Coomer.
