+ Twelve recordings from the 70’s & 80’s available on VINYL for the first time
+ Features Blaze’s own versions of songs that were covered by Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett & John Prine
+ Liner notes by Blaze Foley biographer, Sybil Rosen; Cover photo by C.P. Vaughan
“He is one of the most spiritual cats I’ve ever met; an ace finger picker; a writer who never shirks the truth; never fails to rhyme; and one of the flashiest wits I’ve ever had to put up with. He’s only gone crazy once. Decided to stay. But the main thing is the music. Blaze is a lover of things alive, and pleads their cause with every word. I am proud to call Blaze my friend” -- Townes Van Zandt, 1984
“Blaze Foley was a genius and a beautiful loser” – Lucinda Williams
"Foley wrote and sang story songs so vividly full of ache, sadness, reflection, and the naked truth that I believe he may have attained that level of direct realism that songsmiths such as Kristofferson, Dylan, and Haggard are always trying to reach . . .” -- Joe Nick Patoski, Texas Monthly
Secret Seven Records and Lost Art Records are proud to present Blaze Foley: Clay Pigeons, a (vinyl-only) career-spanning collection of studio, home and intimate live recordings from 1976 - 1988. Culled from posthumous CDs released by Lost Art Records and Fat Possum, Clay Pigeons marks the first-ever proper LP release by one of country music’s most beautiful, yet oft unheard, voices. Featuring many of Blaze’s best loved songs including: “Oval Room,” “Clay Pigeons,” and “If I Could Only Fly”—a song Merle Haggard described as “the best country song I’ve heard in 15 years.”
Side One: Clay Pigeons / You’ll Get Yours Aplenty / Election Day / Lovin’ You / For Anything Less / Oval Room
Side Two: Cold, Cold World / Down Here Where I Am / Moonlight / Rainbows & Ridges / My Reasons Why / If I Could Only Fly

Music comes from the heart and is composed by the hurt, joy, and experiences we keep hidden there. We let others into that special place when we choose the words we use to express ourselves through music... the common language of the universe.

Access to health care varies across countries, groups and individuals, largely influenced by social and economic conditions as well as the health policies in place. Countries and jurisdictions have different policies and plans in relation to the personal and population based health care goals within their societies. Thanks a lot.

Troubled both by substance abuse and homelessness, Foley struggled to commit many of his songs to tape, and those that were recorded rarely received proper releases during his lifetime
