Description
Blaze Foley's life was a fleeting idyll, captured in a tree house in the Georgia woods during the 1970s countercultural movement. Sybil Rosen, the woman for whom he wrote his most famous song, "If I Could Only Fly", offers a personal glimpse into his turbulent life. This beautifully written book reveals the transformation of a reticent musician into the enigmatic singer/songwriter of the Austin, Texas, music scene. Foley's songs have been covered by notable artists, but it is Rosen's account that provides the most complete vision of the man and his music. Her portrayal is both poetic and gripping, shedding light on the creative journey and the complex subject that was Blaze Foley. A unique and impressive work, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the life and music of this Texas music legend.
