"Shameless" is a song written by American singer Billy Joel and recorded on his 1989 album Storm Front.
Two years later, the song was covered by country music artist Garth Brooks on his third studio album, 1991's Ropin' the Wind.
I was on the road for six months with no one to check the mail and came home to find six compact discs in my mailbox.
I hadn't listened to Billy Joel since the late seventies, probably since Glass Houses.
My hope is that Billy, as writer, hears this cut and says, "Yeah, man, the guy's got balls.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic described Brooks' rendering of the song favorably in his review of the album, saying that Brooks "made his '70s rock influences more explicit" by "transform[ing] the song from a rock power ballad into contemporary country.
