Eddy Shaver's Tragic New Year's Legacy

On New Years Eve, country music lost a prodigious talent: Eddy Shaver, son of outlaw legend Billy Joe Shaver. Known for his raw, unfiltered style, Eddy played with giants like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. His duo with his father released five albums, but tragedy struck when he was found unresponsive in a Waco hotel. Despite his short life, Eddys influence endures, with his song Live Forever winning a Grammy posthumously. Checkout Solipillow.com
