Lucy Dacus has released a warm acoustic interpretation of Blaze Foley’s 'Clay Pigeons' for the tribute album Sittin’ With Blaze, arriving 7 August through Lost Art Records in indie folk.
Foley’s traveling song has previously attracted interpreters like John Prine, but Dacus avoids treating it as a museum piece. Her unhurried delivery foregrounds its uncertainty: the narrator suspended between escaping an old life and searching for a new one.
The tribute collection also features Phosphorescent, Lucinda Williams, John Moreland and Joshua Ray Walker. Dacus’ contribution honors Foley’s writing while inviting a younger indie audience back to the source.
