Some people have the gift of translating pain through music , Blaze is certainly one of them , some people are also not meant to be on this earth for very long and Blaze was one of them too, something tells me Blaze and Townes have Elvis in a secluded corner "somewhere" teaching him how to write music, btw the harmonies are fabulous on this song
My last name is not Foley nor Fuller, but I damn sure am related to Blaze...we share the human condition. He splits my soul in half a little more with every song, every word, every pining moment...long live his soul through his music.
I've read where it's said Mr. Dylan showed up once, asking where Townes van Zandt was. It's been written he wanted to sit and pic a bit with John Townes. The book says he refused, but did spend the evening playing his songs for Bobby. Now elsewhere I see where Townes performed with Blaze Foley. This Pointed myself quickly into the direction of Our Late Friend. Just like when I discovered Townes, now i hang on every word, andlook for more.
He's one of the best songwriters to have never lived, basically. He was shot dead trying to save a homeless man from being robbed in Austin. Wikipedia him.
I think I'm related to this guy...same last name, my mom talks about him, I have a lot of family spread throughout the...east/south portion of America...yeah, I think I'm related to Blaze Foley.
what a songwriter

@TheEndKing Blaze Foley was a stage-name. unless you're a Fuller (his real last name).
