Emerging Irish folk guitarist and singer Muireann Bradley announces new EP Rose Dogs, out 7 November via Universal’s relaunched Fontana label and Verve Forecast.
Alongside the announcement, Muireann shares reflective track ‘Clay Pigeons’, originally recorded by American country music singer-songwriter, poet, and artist Blaze Foley in 1989.
“I discovered Blaze Foley a couple of years ago when a video of him performing ‘Clay Pigeons’ came up on my YouTube feed. I was blown away and couldn’t stop watching the video over and over again. I tried to find every version of Blaze doing the song I could and learned it immediately. ‘Clay Pigeons’ is about Blaze’s struggles to turn over a new leaf and get his life together, the lyrics are simple yet poignant and beautiful. His finger picking is perfect, and his singing is heartbreaking. He has inspired songs by Townes Van Zandt, Lucinda Wiliams and Kings of Leon and his songs have been covered by some of the greatest songwriters ever including Willie Nelson and John Prine – I think that says it all.”
