Review

Old Five and Dimers Like Me is archetypal outlaw country. Released in 1973, it's a showcase for Billy Joe Shaver's significant songwriting skills (the title track and a couple others became standards in Lone Star circles). As a vocalist, Shaver is a gruff droner a la Five and Dimers producer Kris Kristofferson. In other words, he doesn't range far, but he hits the mark most of the time. Fans of the genre will appreciate this timepiece. --Steven Stolder
