The history of country music is filled with stories of bigger than life characters. Blaze Foley is one of the most legendary and lesser known of them all. A great songwriter, he was friends with Townes Van Zandt and Lucinda Williams, and revered by the likes of Merle Haggard. His first album was lost when it was taken in a bust by the DEA. His second album was stolen from a station wagon he had been living in, and his third was lost for years before being discovered in an old car. He slept on couches, and he played this show on a borrowed guitar. Done mostly solo, this set is a stunning and beautiful document of the talent that Foley possessed. A little piano, a little fiddle, some harmonies…the rest is all Blaze Foley. There’s not a weak song to be found, and despite the less than great packaging, it’s a definite keeper.
“If I Could Only Fly” was a hit for Haggard, and “Clay Pigeons” was later recorded by John Prine, and “Election Day” by Lyle Lovett. But these live versions from 1988 are really the ones to have. They give a small hint of the career that Foley could have…should have had. But it was not meant to be. Four weeks after this album was recorded, Foley was shot to death by a man trying to steal a friend’s government entitlement checks. He was just 39 years old. This album is almost all that remains of his recorded legacy. This is as outlaw as country gets, and as alt as it will ever be. Blaze Foley was one of the greats, tragically unheard and unknown, even in death. Live At The Austin Outhouse was supposed to have raised money for the homeless…instead, the proceeds were used to pay for Foley’s funeral. Buy it now, and the money goes to where Blaze originally wanted it to go. A true hidden gem of an album. [First added to this chart: 07/22/2024]
