Blaze Foley: Faded Loves (alt doc opening)

[@Daniel-os8fq]

At the time he was an nobody, , listening to him again for the 100th time, still brings me joy and sorrow, he has no idea what he has meant to us all... especially me., Miss you every night Blaze ... "If we could only fly!"

[@Hurkuhntreeks]

First time I heard Blaze, got goosebumps and cried. I’ve been into music since the 1970’s. Spent a good portion of my income on music. 50 years and I’ve never cried or got goosebumps as much as that day I found Blaze Foley. Imagine the music he would’ve made. I curse the POS that took him away from us.

[@dallansalter]

Same brother same

[@michaellent3550]

He wanted to be a legend, and he is undoubtedly just that. Things are the way they are, people get sick, people die. The best we can do is appreciate it while they’re still here with us.

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

I could have stranded him and townes doing a few more records

[@Kayo_ea110]

Can't believe he was only 39 when he died. That old boy had some miles on him.

[@Enoch1970]

I love seeing the beer dripping from his mustache

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

It happens. I got a stache like that one, eatings the hard part. Actually I just shaved her down to be a bit more socially acceptable

[@cozmo5294]

I love when he drunkenly pauses before he says the handling the truth line ...this guy is perfect top shelf right here

[@ElwoodBlues2480]

I think i have played this a 1000 times over...We need more songwriters like Blaze...Good stuff here thanks...

[@FarmageddonRecordsOfficial]

[@jimbanda]

His voice was so so strong.... Alcohol is a damn demon to some people... RIP Blaze , or something close to that... 🙏

[@bonnie_gail]

wonderful talent and growing up in a home with an alcoholic is hell, believe me

[@redshaftedflicker]

Nobody hits me as hard as Blaze. Not even Townes.

[@Tasmanaut]

I love, I mean, really worship Townes and his style. But there is something in the sheer minimalism of blaze that can NOT be beat. He can say just as much, if not more, in a few short lines, some that don't rhyme, than Townes said with all his masterful poetry. Consider this verse; almost felt you touching me just now wish I knew which way to turn and go feel so good, and then I feel so bad wonder what I ought to do sets a scene, paints a vivid description, relates perfectly to anyone that has ever felt that feeling, and does not even rhyme. True master. People don't realise the artistic talent required to pull this off. He didn't write simple songs because he was musically stunted or not gifted. He was simple and minimal by choice. If an intermediate musician came across Blaze's work they might mistakenly dismiss it as simple folk/country and tell themselves its not really exceptional due to the simplicity and continue about their lives thinking they could pull that off easily if they chose to. They'd be dead wrong. Very few have ever done it, I would however consider John Moreland up there with Townes and Blaze. Not every song is a perfect and hits as hard as Townes and Blaze, but there are a few where he reaches that pinnacle of expression. I've heard them all, i mean ALL of them, and he is the only other in my extremely well researched opinion.

[@dueyramone]

And that's sayin something... Even when Steve is pining because of Townes. Just passing a moment on, but check out Steve doing Pancho on this Canadian show with George strombolopalis* sic. It's something to witness. The film on Steve's glasses. Tone, one man audience, it'll make ya cry like I am right now listening to blaze. Blaze did out do them all. Raw. Soul and Sandpaper.

[@heardchef6235]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. Something about ol Blaze, man

[@dariusdribbles.3981]

What a songwriter. It doesn't hurt to have that big booming voice either.

[@devakikaren]

Almost as deep as Waylon's.

[@twoshirtman7096]

In my opinion Duct Tape Messiah is the most beautiful and brilliant Documentary, that I ever have seen. I have seen it more than 20 times, and every time I find something new in it. Moreover, so happy that Kevin Triplett is broadcasting different videos and interviews, that was'nt included in the final cut of the Duct Tape Messiah. This alternate Documentary opening is a masterpiece, and Faded love and memories is one of Blaze most beautiful masterpiece songs.

[@MasteringSilence]

Where can you find this documentary? I have been searching all over the internet.

[@twoshirtman7096]

@@MasteringSilenceK The best way is to contact Kevin Triplett, who made the documentary, he is selling it on DVD for a very good price. I bought it myself 2013.

@zkafel Found blaze foley because of the kings of leon interview bet he was a down to earth bloke i'm obsessed with his era life on the freight trains travelling and singing.What a presence he had,Truest of a artist?

[@nashvilleslim]

He wasn't a hobo, he was known to sleep under pool tables though .

[@justthinking526]

@@nashvilleslim niiiiice

[@nashvilleslim]

@@justthinking526 its absolutely truth he was just a drunk to be honest trust me I'm an expert at. He did write some very good songs though. John Prine was better. Blaze wanted to be as good as John. His time ran out and that's a shame. If he was able to to stick around really get hot and keep the outlaw country scene going who knows what a legend he might have become.
