	• Manufacturer: AEC • SKU: 6897488 • UPC: 767981122328 • Shipping: $0.87 • Description: Liner Note Author: Basil Bouris. Recording information: 02/1976-09/1978. Photographers: Mike Boyle; Wanda Witt. The late singer and songwriter Blaze Foley is almost unheard of outside of the circles of music fans who follow that scene closely. For many Austin musicians, he was a crazy saint, an iconoclast who was banned from virtually every bar in town, but whose songs are deeply admired and whose persona was singular -- he didn't give a good god damn what anybody thought of him. He has been immortalized in Lucinda Williams' beautiful "Drunken Angel" and songwriter-guitarist Gurf Morlix, who played with him, lovingly mastered a record they made together in the late '70s which was released in 2006 as Blaze Foley & the Beaver Valley Boys. Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Kings of Leon, Lyle Lovett, and John Prine, among others, have recorded his songs. He's been exploited on a few compilations that have come out over the years with awful post-production work that he would never have agreed to. Fat Possum deepens the legend further without soiling the artist in the process. The Dawg Years is a collection of 20 Foley songs, recorded when his moniker was Deputy Dawg. They were cut during three different living room sessions between February of 1976 and September of 1978. They may or may not be his first recordings, but they are from the very beginning of the myth and legend that he became. They were intimately cut at the home of Margery & Billy Bouris and sat in the back of a closet for 25 years. This is the first time they've been released in total -- 20 tracks worth. Despite the fact that these were cut in mono, and a baby can be heard crying through some of it, the fidelity is excellent, and the performances -- some with sparse dialogue--are startlingly present, emotionally taut and quietly intense. Foley's approach encompassed folk, country, blues, rag, and other styles; in other words, he was an Americana artist before genre existed. With his excellent guitar playing, writing and signing, he was direct, often funny, and clever, and in some songs, there is a quiet rage that burns for his version of justice. Check the songs "Tree House Lullaby," "The Moonlight Song," "Crawl Back to You," "Basil's Song," "Rudee Down in New Orleans," "Big Chief Hightower," and the humorous "Cosmic Doo Doo" (where he name checks Bruce Springsteen). Some well-known tunes are here too, such as "Springtime in Uganda," "Big Cheeseburgers and Good French Fries," "New Wave Blues," "Election Day," and "Cold, Cold World." For anyone who loved Foley's music, who knew him either as Blaze Foley or Deputy Dawg, or even heard his name mentioned in relation to legends like Townes Van Zandt's, this set is for you. It's the real deal and can't be recommended highly enough. ~ Thom Jurek

The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday because for many retailers it was the day they went from being in the red to being in the black when they became profitable for the year. It is also the official beginning of the holiday shopping season, and Black Friday has become known for some of the best bargains, discounts and deals of the entire year! Everyone has watched stampeding crowds on the local news or diehard bargain hunters camping out overnight so they can be among the first to grab limited black friday specials at their favorite local retailers... However, if you prefer doing your holiday discount shopping from the warm and cozy comfort of home, then Cyber Monday was designed with you in mind! Online retailers spotted the Black Friday frenzy sweeping across the country as it took over brick and mortar locations - rather than compete for your black friday attention, they concocted a day that is all their own and named it Cyber Monday! The Monday after Thanksgiving is when your favorite online stores slash prices and offer their very best prices to help usher in the online holiday shopping season! That means big savings for you whether you choose to brave the local crowds on Black Friday or avoid the madness by browsing online during Cyber Monday Sales! Not to worry - the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving might get the most attention for discount holiday shopping, but if you procrastinate beyond that magical bargain hunting window it doesn't mean you will be completely left out... In fact, this promises to be an exceptionally consumer-friendly holiday shopping season with sales, coupons and discounts extending far beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday and allowing you to find the best prices on holiday gifts until the very last minute! Hoping to avoid discount shopping withdrawal? Even after Christmas and Hanukkah have come and gone, you'll still have After Holiday Specials to help usher in the New Year!
