Blaze Foley was a homeless singer, songwriter, guitarist and drunk. He died with no records in print. A bunch of his work has been pulled together and there is now a couple of CDs available. He died of a shotgun blast defending an elderly black man. He didn't live too well, but he died right. His songs are not sad ... they are hopeless.

marvelous.
kind of like a prototype for a busted down crooner like the Jeff Bridges character in Crazy Heart.
