Torrent description

Artist: Blaze Foley
Title: Duct Tape Messiah
Label: Lost Arts Productions
Release Date: 2011
Format: MP3 @ 320 K



Blaze (Mike David Fuller) told people he was from Marfa, Texas, and there may be some truth to that, we just don’t know. But we do know that Mike Fuller was born in Malvern, Arkansas to Edwin and Louise Fuller in 1949 and spent most of his boyhood life in Texas, with his early childhood years in San Antonio. After leaving home, he performed in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, and finally Austin, Texas.
His song "If I Could Only Fly" became a hit in the interpretation of Merle Haggard. His song "Election Day" was covered by Lyle Lovett on his 2003 album "My Baby Don't Tolerate" and his song "Clay Pigeons" was covered by John Prine on his Grammy Award winning 2005 album "Fair and Square." Joe Nichols pays tribute to "If I Could Only Fly" by recording it for his album "Real Things" released in 2007.
Once, in an effort to mock the “Urban Cowboy” fad and their silver-tipped cowboy boots, he started putting duct tape on the tips of his boots. This obsession kept growing until he’d made a complete suit from duct tape that he would wear around. When they buried him, his friends even covered his entire casket with duct tape.
Foley was murdered while attempting to help his friend Concho January defend himself from his violent son, Carey. Despite having written hundreds of songs and recorded numerous albums at the time of his death, none of Blaze’s music had ever been released. One album’s masters were seized by the DEA when the executive producer was caught in a drug bust. Another album’s masters were stolen when the station wagon Blaze was living in was broken into, and another album, “Wanted More Dead Than Alive”, was believed lost until an old friend found some master tapes while cleaning out his car some years after Blaze’s death. Despite having a small but rabid fanbase that included such luminaries as Gurf Morlix and Townes Van Zandt, it would take some 10 years after his death before a Blaze album would see the light of day.

Blaze Foley never had a place to sleep, a car to drive, nor a day job; he just wrote songs.



The Duct Tape Messiah died in a single blaze of rifle fire on February 1, 1989. He was 39.
