Clay Pigeons - John Prine - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Clay Pigeons" is a track by the enigmatic American singer-songwriter Blaze Foley. Penned by Foley himself, the song beautifully encapsulates his delicate touch with storytelling, weaving themes of longing, self-discovery, and the quest for a fresh start. While Blaze Foley never reached mainstream success during his lifetime, his influence reverberated through the Americana and country-folk genres. "Clay Pigeons," originally released in the 1970s, perfectly encapsulated his raw and authentic style—a gentle guitar accompaniment alongside his poignant and introspective lyrics. In 2005, "Clay Pigeons" experienced a surge in popularity after American folk legend John Prine recorded a cover for his fifteenth studio album Fair & Square, which won a Grammy award for Best Contemporary Folk Album later that year. The song would later be included in several compilations of Blaze Foley's music, including Sittin' by the Road (2007) and Clay Pigeons (2011).
