The Billy Joe Shaver and Willie Nelson Late Show Performance

Some singers don’t have to wait long at all to get on TV. In fact, these days it seems many even begin their careers under the national television lights. Others have to wait five decades. The latter is the case for country / outlaw singer / songwriter Billy Joe Shaver. But Shaver’s wait ended last night.

"It's hard to be an outlaw when you ain't wanted anymore."
