A friend was singing "Peaceful Easy Feeling" today and I thought of B.W...NOBODY made that song sound as good as B.W. did...I also love his "Cactus Jack" and find myself humming it frequently. I think of him often and the days I lived in Austin and he was constantly around playing.
Love B.W.. If anyone knows how to contacts his heirs, please have them go to soundexchange.com. He has uncollected royalties there.
Thanks
I meet Chuck Stevenson in Dallas after he got out of the Navy. I ran a little club downtown. I thought a lot of him and his music. Another friend started playing with him back when he started going by BuckWheat Stevenson. That person, a lot of county music fans will also know, Mickie Raffel who has been with Willy Nelson for many moons.

Where you at BW? Are you sweet steppin lightly down a two track road? Have you gone to Texas for a little while? Man I could sure use another shot of BW Stephensen. Is this the simple song about feelin?Probably heard the story bout the cog and the wheel. I don't know if I got all those words right but they are imbedded in my mind put to music and you wrote it. Great stuff. Thanks,
I am not reviewing this CD. Instead I am reliving a piece of my life. I have seen B.W. a few times in Dallas in the 70s. At Whiskey River and Six flags over texas. B.W. was a true free spirit. His songs are sad, haunting stories of his life. I am so glad to find this CD. The last I had heard was that his wife would not release the rights to his music. Please if you have never heard B.W Stevenson sing buy this CD. You will never be diaappointed that you did. A ture gem cut down at an early age here in Nashville.
BW Stevenson will forever hold a place in the chroncles in Texas simply know as The Cosmic Cowboy era! A Era when texas rock and country music fused together for the good to help our state progress before it's time when she needed it the most. Made up of space-city cowboys and girls who dressed in a combination of bellbottom jeans, cowboy boots and shirts along with hats that showed character,plenty of lonestar beers and shots of jack black oh and dynimite herb! It was a getdown pary where everyone both young and old rock and country became peaced-off rednecks. And no one can take that away from Texas ever!
The finest of Texas music that you could ever hear. When I listen to B.W. I can picture him traveling from town to town playing his music. Alot of sadness in his voice but what a remarkable talent. His music is haunting and while I would recommend any of his albums but Lead Free is still my 5+ star pick. "On My Own" or "Texas Morning" alone will sell you on this album and man.
A hero gone before his time. A traditional Texas singer/songwritert that sings and write's from him heart and soul. All around true Texas Musician. For some reason B.W gets over looked. But will never be forgot by me.
