A Tribute to Buzz Shearman [1] is a compilation/tribute album by the Canadian rock group Moxy in the band's original incarnation with Buzz Shearman, Earl Johnson, Buddy Caine, Bill Wade and Terry Juric. The album is a tribute to Moxy vocalist Buzz Shearman (who died in a motorbike accident in 1983) from his wife Valerie. She was an executive with the indie label Ahed Records Of Canada and released the album. The album collects some of the band's best-known and three previously unreleased songs called "Trouble", "Eyeballs" and "Highway" with Shearman on vocals. There is a testimonial by San Antonio disc jockey Joe Anthony on the back cover of the album about Shearman's music being his legacy after a short life. There are two distinct versions of the album cover, one in 1984 and the second on CD in 1994.
