  • This performance was discovered on a VHS tape given to us by Dana Cooper.
    Dana, along with Shake Russell and John Vandiver were also on the tape, possibly from this same show.
    Walter Hyatt was a friend of Blaze, as was Champ Hood.
    Champ played on Blaze's "Live at The Austin Outhouse" releases.
    If you don't know it already, check out the music of Walter Hyatt and Uncle Walt's Band (with Champ Hood and David Ball)

      Young Jesse Welles' cover of "Clay Pigeons" got me into Blaze Foley, who I'd never heard of, and again to the great John Prine (who I'd listened to alot and took to heart well before) and now I'm listening to everything he recorded. I even discovered Towns Van Zandt cos he was a big supporter of Blaze

    Just in awe, anytime there's more blaze stuff i havent seen. Im from indiana and people dont know of him up here. Born the year he died and now in my 30s only knew of him for a few years, but a real genuine genius songwriter. Some people just get it and he was one. Legend.

      Agreed, Texans forgets these guys too unfortunately. Townes van zandt sings Blaze's Blues (Live at the Old Quarter album) and before the song says if you're playing cards with Blaze and you drew a three he'd draw a two. Michael Hurley is another great songwriter we're less familiar with in the south.

    Bass from the shoulder, kinda wacky, but it's working for him. Maybe it helped him count. Blaze was a total trip. I knew him casually. He was tall and had the most intense, pearcing blue eyes ever. His sense of humor was always slightly off the wall, but usually right on the money for the situation. The world lost a real jewel in him. RIP Michael David Fuller.
