Blaze Foley, Duct Tape Messiah @ The Saxon Pub (03/12/2011)

Posted on March 12, 2011 by

Blaze Foley was a talented, if troubled, Austin songwriter that has gained more fame since his untimely demise in 1989 than he had while he was here.  That fame is because his family and friends have worked to make sure the world hears his music.  While there are more “Blaze Stories” than a film can contain, Kevin Triplett has done a great job!  After the film, Gurf Morlix….who possibly knew Blaze best….did a set of songs from his latest CD, a collection of Blaze’s songs, Blaze Foley’s 113th Wet Dream.  The entire club was spellbound for two full hours.  So glad we caught the show before it goes on tour.

Gurf Morlix is not only a singer, songwriter, producer, and musician, he's a story teller. This was the 2nd time we'd seen him and he managed to complete mesmerize us both times.

Gurf does as much on stage with just a guitar as some musicians do with a full band behind them. :)
