Wow I have just been introduced to blaze!! What a guy !! And yes pigeons and chickens need clay, or rocks for digestion .... John prine does a pretty good version of this !! I am now a blaze fan !!!! The world needs songs like his to keep on turning .... I only hope I can post a version an do it justice !! Thanks again Blaze!!
Man, I had my head up my butt and never went and saw Blaze play and I was in Austin for years back then. I hear all the great stories now from some of his old friends and I realize I really miss out.
@freeman2545 - "he knows you are listening?" How in the hell's he gonna do that??? He's DEAD you moron. Your childish fantasies about what happens after death is plain stupid. And Blaze talks to you? You're an idiot. Or just a stupid wasted drunk like Blaze.
@MrBlackBrit ...at least you dont like rap.....stuff........you got that goin for ya...being a black dude ....seem to have a slight attitude...but what the hell....so do i.....god bless you my brother....travel light .....
@MrBlackBrit ..strange that you would feel it so unusual that someone being dead...can hear stuff.....being a self professed christian and all that.....and your remarks do not reflect the face of the creator......but...hey....who the fuck am i? a drunk moron.......? perhaps you are right....i love your blindness ..anyway....maybe someday you will see
I'm from the UK and I've just started discovering all this Southern American folk/country music, this is so good but nothing I have discovered matches up to the genius of Townes Van Zandt.
Zsalto66 - I assure you my friend, John Prine did not write this, Blaze Foley did. There are multiple interviews available online in which John describes his feelings upon hearing it the first time and why he decided to cover it.
@zenwhips Could you direct me to the interviews you refer to? I'm a long-time Prine fan, and when I first heard this song I thought it described his feelings about starting to sing again after his health problems. Great song. I don't understand the "feed the pigeons some clay" reference though.

John Prine is one of the most talented songwriters who ewer lived and a personal favorite of mine, but he has more than enough kudos and credits for the songs he wrote and they stand on their own merit. He does not need, nor, dare I say, want, credit for songs he did not write. Clay Pigeons is one of them.
Thank fucking god people are starting to find Blaze....been on him at least 10 years and people look at me like i'm stupid when i play one of his songs... a true troubadour in every sense of the word
@oldman103 My art teacher used to feed pigeons clay all the time.
At first I thought it was Blaze trying to be kind of deep and basically saying he's so dirt poor that he's obviously never been able to shoot clay pigeons or probably even knows what they are. But then you remember Blaze was one of a kind and probably just liked feeding Pigeons clay :)
@ThedogDio Thanks,that was driving me crazy,just made no sense, and I got a few answers about clay pigeons. That didn't make any sense either so I started reading and found out that people do ,in fact, feed pigeons clay.Blaze did a lot of drawing and painting of birds,mostly ducks and pigeons ,so it all began to make sense.It was just something he would do because he liked pigeons,not some abstract line in the song just to mess up (my) mind.Thanks again for the "backup"answer.
I don't know why this's so appealing, I'm really not even into this type of music... I just love it, though. All this talk of escaping. I'm a teenager, so of course this is a big thing on my mind. I love the "Ride 'til the sun comes up, and down and around about two or three times,"
@only2comment98 you should check out townes van zandt too, i discovered him at 17 and i listened to only him for like 3 years. all my friends made fun of me but I couldnt get enough there is also a documentary about him you get get on torrent...called Be Here To Love Me...
i heard this song on KGSR and searched and searched for it on youtube. i only heard john prine do it, but didn't know title...but ALAST! i found it! wow...heavy good stuff. thnx
townes, larry jon wilson, steve young, guy clark, porter wagoner, mickey newbury, calvin russel, willis alan ramsey, and BLAZE. true down to the earth artists that i'm lucky enough to know about and love.
Someone introduced me to Townes Van Zandt recently. I discovered this great artist because of that. Those guys sang from the heart, great music. Just wondering how many more gems I will find on here.
the first time i heard this song my mind was blown. i searched for blaze foley after i discovered john prine and heard him cover this...this song is so heart-wrenchingly honest. no frills, no fuss, it's so real any one of us could sing it...i don't know if i've ever heard such an honest song. all substance, no filler. wish all songwriters would aspire to write like this. "if i could only fly" is similarly devastating. love you, foley.
I never heard of Blaze before today but have heard Prine's cover of this song. Blaze is great. I look forward to hearing more of him and learning more about his work.
@hwatt1960 wow, who put the stick up your butt? John doesn't really have roots in Nasvhille, even though he's lived there a long time. He's sung this song, too, and it sounds perfect for him. I was surprised when I heard he didn't write it.
So I don't see what your problem is with dr4mus. And no reason to be mean to hippieinboots.
You seem to have some problems, my friend. Be well.
It's been 21 years and I miss him everyday :( One of the two best songwirters in the world. This selfishing hurting I have from wanting to hear him sing again will be with me until I die. It's the price of having enjoyed the best.
never gets old. blaze always makes it alright for me. this song.... that day. the sun on my skin. the states flying by, that boy. my song to him, to myself, forever.
This song should be prescribed by doctors and played by preachers...its good for the heart and the soul. I wish more people could hear Blaze's work - just incredible songwriting.
I discovered him by chance - noticed him singing harmony for Townes Van Zandt from a show in Austin back in 1984 and got curious, followed the trail and discovered this incredible "larger than life" figure.
I wish he was here today. Can anyone imagine what he would be writing about? He has changed my life when it comes to his music. GOD BLESS YOU BLAZE where ever you are!
Blaze is outstanding..... he seems like a complete maniac when he is talking, but then he starts singing..... and everything is clear. It's really quite astounding how he focuses all of a sudden .
I am so glad I listened to this one after the many Prine-based covers found here on YouTube. I truly love JP but his rendition did not touch me as strongly as Foley's original.
There is a line JP changed from "trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet" to "sing a song to the people I meet". As I see it, this is a key line, it should not have been modified. Of course, JP must have had his reasons -- it would be nice to know what they were.
What flying a**hole had the soul vacancy to click 'dislike'!!! Blaze was one of that flock who are just too breakable to live in this world.
He makes my heart ache.

I am so glad I listened to this one after the many Prine-based covers found here on YouTube. I truly love JP but his rendition did not touch me as strongly as Foley's original.
There is a line JP changed from "trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet" to "sing a song to the people I meet". As I see it, this is a key line, it should not have been modified. Of course, JP must have had his reasons -- it would be nice to know what they were.
Thank you for posting.
