TLDNL...Blaze left Townes his guitar when he died, but was buried with the pawn ticket for the guitar still in his pocket. They had the body exhumed to get the pawn ticket for the guitar...the one that he's playing in this show.
Edit...the song Marie is as real as it gets.
Townes Van Zandt and Blaze Foley's guitar (you'll want to hear this story from the horse's mouth)
Enjoy!

From one of my favorite albums...three of my favorite songs
I grew up in Texas...a musical melting pot with everything from Mariachi to Metal. I was privileged to hear some amazing local music over the decades. These three songs are from one of the finest albums I've ever heard, 'Car Wheels On a Gravel Road' by Lucinda Williams from 1998. The guitars and accordion take me home in a way few songs can accomplish. Enjoy.
