Recordings
There are a couple places where you can order Blaze Foley music:
-
Lost Arts Records produces his "Live at the Outhouse" CD.
-
Deep South Productions produces a set of Tribute CDs.
-
The gu'mint owns the mechanical rights to Blaze's only vinyl LP, recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. A few of these albums were actually pressed. Blaze distributed them out the back of a friend's van when he needed drinking money. Several people around Austin still own a copy, including one fellow who has a copy still in the shrinkwrap! Ocassionally, his album and single shows up on eBay.
