Young Jesse Welles' cover of "Clay Pigeons" got me into Blaze Foley, who I'd never heard of, and again to the great John Prine (who I'd listened to alot and took to heart well before) and now I'm listening to everything he recorded. I even discovered Towns Van Zandt cos he was a big supporter of Blaze

The most famous singer & player who wasn't famous.

A true troubadour!!! beautiful poetry,this guy sure made his footprint heard!sad that it took Merl Haggard to make a hit with" if I could Only fly"not that it's bad but Blaze mad his mark on my heart

Any friend of Townes is a friend of mine!!! God bless Texas!!

Just in awe, anytime there's more blaze stuff i havent seen. Im from indiana and people dont know of him up here. Born the year he died and now in my 30s only knew of him for a few years, but a real genuine genius songwriter. Some people just get it and he was one. Legend.

Agreed, Texans forgets these guys too unfortunately. Townes van zandt sings Blaze's Blues (Live at the Old Quarter album) and before the song says if you're playing cards with Blaze and you drew a three he'd draw a two. Michael Hurley is another great songwriter we're less familiar with in the south.

I was there the day they taped this - Blaze closed with "Let Me Ride In Your Big Cadillac" w/ Jimmy Don Smith and Tony Braunagle! Too bad it didn't fit the format - it was epic! I sure miss Blaze- hope to see him again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

thanks for posting from England. I try and play Townes and Blaze stuff in pubs over here, and it's always the Blaze tunes that get the best response. Both were geniuses though.

Man, Blaze made it look easy...so awesome.

Love this. Love Blaze Foley.

Bass from the shoulder, kinda wacky, but it's working for him. Maybe it helped him count. Blaze was a total trip. I knew him casually. He was tall and had the most intense, pearcing blue eyes ever. His sense of humor was always slightly off the wall, but usually right on the money for the situation. The world lost a real jewel in him. RIP Michael David Fuller.

Ol Blaze be styling. Lookin and sounding great. Ya gotta love love the man.

I think adding all the instruments takes a lot of the sadness out of it. Nothing beats the live at the austin outhouse version with just the guitar, harmonica and vocals.

There are so many levels to playing the guitar. The level that Blaze played at with the independent thumb is the hardest to master imo
