I want to make sure you know about a guitar geek full-length film that's directed by Ethan Hawke. It was just released on August 17th, in theaters across Texas. I'm not sure of the trajectory of this movie but I just want it on your radar because it definitely piqued my interest and I think it will perk you guitar geek up as well.
This is a movie about Blaze Foley an Austin, Texas singer-songwriter who ran the same rounds as Townes Van Zandt, amongst many other Texas troubadour type songwriters. The movie is aptly titled, Blaze, and it just looks damn good. I would assume that this film will be coming to DVD or iTunes or something like that in the near future. So keep your eyes peeled for that.
I have to be totally honest here, I don't know very much about Blaze Foley, and I'm excited about this movie because I want to learn more about Blaze Foley, he seemed like quite the songwriter. While learning about this Hollywood style film I actually found another film on Blaze Foley and this one is a documentary.
This documentary about Blaze Foley is called "The Duck Tape Messiah." It was released in 2011 As I mentioned, I'm super pumped to learn more about Blaze Foley and I feel like this documentary will offer some great perspective on his music and his life
With those two resources and a solid recommendation from an Acoustic Tuesday viewer, I plan to learn a ton about Blaze Foley and I urge you to do the same. Let's all learn more about Blaze together... that's our guitar geek homework assignment.
