Blaze Foley The Lost Muscle Shoals Recordings. featuring the Muscle Shoals Horns, Foley's first recorded album from a 1984 session recorded at Broadway Sound Studio Literature. Carmen und Kai Nees: Blaze Foley - Ein Aussenseiter, der zur Legende wurde - Self-published in 2018; ISBN 978-3-00-058564-7 - Book in German.

Recorded with Muscle Shoals studio musicians in 1984, the album was never distributed due to some trouble with the law resulting in the confiscation of most of the 500 copies originally pressed. These recordings find Blaze Foley in a rare studio setting performing ten of his well-known compositions including the apparently timeless resistance song, Oval Room, originally written with Ronald Reagan in mind. The outstanding production values and musicianship breathe fresh air into these classic Blaze compositions  . Titel: Lost Muscle Shoals Recordings. Label: End Of An Ear.

Play along with guitar, ukulele, or piano with interactive chords and diagrams. Includes transpose, capo hints, changing speed and much more.

28, 1988, Blaze Foley took the stage at the Austin Outhouse, one of the few bars left in town that would still allow him to play. His beard was long and scraggly, grazing the top of his borrowed guitar. His voice was gruff and slurring, conceding to too many drinks. It would be one of his final performances. Less than five weeks later, Foley was shot and killed. On that rainy Wednesday night, Foley seemed lost in his alcohol haze, playfully and poignantly reeling.

Blaze Foley, born as Michael David Fuller in 1949, was a country musician from Arkansas. His stage name was inspired by Red Foley, one of the biggest names of his time. Blaze was a close friend to Townes van Zandt. Foley’s If I Could Only Fly became a hit when covered by Merle Haggard, and John Prine’s version of Clay Pigeons was on his Grammy Award winning album Fair and Square. Blaze was known as the Duct Tape Messiah, because he used wear duct tape on the tips of his boots and later on, he even had a duct tape suit to mock country artists who were wearing flashy suits  .
