Blaze Foley; "Oval Room", Live at the Outhouse. Just dropped in, I'm Blaze's sister, thought I'd say hello. Hello. Texas Ghost Writers Music/BMI I love Blaze's talent.
This is a great album. I don't know much about Blaze Foley, just a few of the stories that I've heard from musicians who knew him or wish they would have known him. This c.d. was given to me by a friend, and it's one of the best gifts I have ever received.
If you don't own this, you are missing out
The quintessential bar room bard. One senses in Blaze's songs immense true heartache ("If I Could Only Fly" is a classic), rather than the popularized version which is supposed to pass for country music today. Unfortunately this is his only album, and most of his songs lost. What could have been had his life not ended so suddenly and tragically.
Willie Nelson is a legend in our time. The music of his voice and guitar flow so smoothly. Listening to him sing and play his guitar lifts the spirits in my heart and soul. Watching Willie Nelson perform in person is the best memory I will always keep with me.
