About Blaze Foley

Blaze Foley (born Michael David Fuller) was a songwriter who ran with a gaggle of like-minded songwriters who fancied themselves as outlaws and renegades outside the orbit of recognized composers like Willie, Jerry Jeff, Fromholz, Nanci Griffith, Lyle, and Robert Earl. Their guiding light was Townes Van Zandt, the tortured soul who was as inspirational as any writer could be, but who was equally determined to live as an outsider. "If I could only fly..." He lived 39 years until the first day of February 1989, when a bullet from a gun held by a young man stopped everything. It's a long story, good enough that seventeen years later, Blaze Foley is bigger than ever.
