17: "Clay Pigeons" by Blaze Foley, w/ Shane Torres

You can now support us on PATREON!This week we discuss the short and elusive career of Michael David Fuller aka Depty Dawg aka DAWG aka The Duct Tape Messiah aka Blaze Foley aka BLAZE. Danny and Tyler are joined by comedian Shane Torres (@shanetorres, Conan, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central) to talk Blaze’s small but mighty catalog of songs (including "Clay Pigeons"), and his sharp wit and unrivaled authenticity.Blaze has never been a household name, and is more so a gone-too-soon folk hero troubadour. Still, his influence has been heard on DIY songwriters since the 80’s, and he’s beloved by such recognizable names as John Prine, Merle Haggard, Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Kings of Leon, and many more.If you’re new to Blaze, Shane and the boys have some songs they’d recommend you check out:If I Could Only FlyBig Cheeseburgers and Good French FriesThe Way You SmileSpringtime in UgandaLiving in the Woods in a TreeElection DayOval RoomWWIIIPicture Cards Can’t Picture YouLet Me Ride In Your Big Cadillac Cold, Cold World"He's only gone crazy once.
