Billy Joe Shaver made his mark as a key figure in the 1970s country "outlaw" movement, penning poetic but unpretentious honky-tonk tunes for Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash before launching his own singing career in 1973. The legendary outlaw is captured live in this 1984 appearance on PBS's AUSTIN CITY LIMITS, which has been expanded from its televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of Shaver's performance, including classic songs like "Black Rose," "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal," "Old Five and Dimers Like Me," and, of course, "Georgia on a Fast Train."
