Foley's final appearance at the iconic Austin Outhouse venue, recorded by his friend John Casner in 1989, just days before his tragic murder. For years these tracks were shared only on cassette dupes among friends and fans.
The psyche-melodic guitar swirls of Oska Wald and the alluring back-up vocals of MTN GRL elevate his wry croon, not quite country but not quite contrary. Something like if Lee Hazlewood and John Prine both wanted to buy the same vintage lamp...
Originally released in 1995, Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings followed Prine's Grammy-winning comeback album The Missing Years and further cemented his legacy as one of America's greatest songwriters.
