Blaze Foley never got his due while he was alive, and Clay Pigeons is the ideal place to meet one of Texas' great lost songwriters.
Born Michael David Fuller, Foley drifted into Austin in the seventies and became a fixture of its scene, a close friend of Townes Van Zandt known for patching his clothes with duct tape. He was killed in 1989 at just 39, and much of his work only surfaced after his death. This collection, first issued on vinyl in 2011, gathers home, studio and intimate live recordings made between 1976 and 1988.
The title track, later recorded by John Prine, is a quiet masterpiece about packing up a broken life and starting over with little more than a bus ticket. "If I Could Only Fly," which Merle Haggard took to heart, is as tender a love song as Texas has produced, while "Oval Room" shows his sharper, satirical side aimed squarely at Washington.
The recordings are spare and close, built around his guitar and that warm, weathered voice, and the plain-spoken lyrics carry everything.
Friends like Lucinda Williams and Townes Van Zandt wrote songs in his memory, and Ethan Hawke later made a film about his life. Clay Pigeons explains why, one quiet song at a time.
