Blaze Foley appreciation post.
I don’t have anything to add to the story of Blaze other than appreciation for the music he was able to make before he died at age 39.
I take it most people aren’t familiar with him. If not, take a moment to listen to some of his tunes. “Clay Pigeons” and “Oval Room” are among my favorite all-time songs. If still curious, poke around into his life a bit and meet his friend Townes, another incredible musical talent.
This post was inspired by, of course, a youtube video I stumbled upon which is also worth your time, you Blaze-loving fool, you.
