If you've ever pondered the identity of Lucinda Williams' "Drunken Angel," wondered who made even Townes Van Zandt feel blue, or what songwriter Merle Haggard would turn to in a momentof spiritual crisis, the answer is simple: Blaze Foley - all of the above.

Foley, a disparate voice even in the iconoclastic circles of Austin, wasn't much known outside of the handfulof artists who remember him in their songs and deeds. But before his murder in 1989 at 39, Foley was embraced in Austin for a heart as large as his frame, a soul as deep as his voice and for a self-fulfilling poverty thatled him to be remembered as much for his duct-taped shoes as his songs.It's no surprise that Foley died in another losing battle: gunned downwhile trying to protect an elderly friend's government pension checks.

Blaze Foley’s last recorded performance –and the only Blaze Foley recording in print—is now available on compact disc from Lost Art Records.

Recorded on December 27 & 28, 1988 at Blaze’s “home club,” Live at the Austin Outhouse captures Blaze at his honest best just four weeks before his murder. The Outhouse Tapes, originally recorded by Blaze friend and fellow musician Lost John Casner on 4-track cassette equipment, have been digitally remastered and repackaged for distribution beyond the Austin underground market for the first time.
