Every time I listen to this I come away feeling like I just had a cup of coffee with my feet up on the fireplace heart and everything is right in my world. So simple, yet so moving...just love it!
I am new to Blaze's music and must say as a picker of course I am fasinated. Is "Dawg Years" a recorded collection? Would LOVE to collect as much of his material as possible. It is a shame that his young life was cut short as with many other talented artist's.
@roadkil2 As far as I know it was recorded informally over 2 years on a portable machine at the home of his friends Billy & Margery Bouris. There's more on fat possum.com.
blaze got shot because his black friends son was drinking and drugging away his fathers government checks and blaze whooped the kids ass. he came back with a shotgun and killed blaze.
Such a pretty song.Just discovered it.I'm surprised it hasn't been recorded by some other artist.I would love to hear Hag or even John Prine cover it.
Absolutely essential recording that even I the tightass dropped the coin on. Too many great songs to list just one but I'd have to say Springtime in Uganda, track 20. This'n is the prettiest tho for sure.
I love this song .I bought the dawg years cd and I think I must have played this song at lest 500 times one of the must beautiful songs I have ever heard.

@Treadsoftly14 it was actually a .22. I'm not trying to be a jerk, i'm just a stickler for detail.

@DouweHighland I agree. I think it's the combination of this hard living guy, writing and singing such beautifully observed songs that gets me.

@floppyd0g He wasn't afraid of being too soft or too dirty or too anything. He was one brave songwriter and person.
