Post strange, obscure, outsider, relatively unknown music.
Yes. The only reason I've even heard of him is because I'm a huge fan of Townes Van Zandt, a somewhat obscure singer/songwriter himself. I was doing my master's thesis research on homeless musicians a decade ago and an old guy who knew Townes and was a friend of Blaze encouraged me to look him up. Blaze and Townes were good friends and hung out whenever Townes was in Austin.I'll have to check that out about Blaze Foley. Intriguing.
Blaze Foley was homeless pretty much his entire adult life. Was murdered by a gunshot wound to the stomach. A feature film about his life called Blaze came out a few years ago, directed by Ethan Hawke. But I still consider his music to be obscure.
