From Blaze Foley’s heyday in Houston, Gurf Morlix was there by his side. It was a natural coincidence, since Blaze started his Houston era on Gurf’s couch. The pair began promoting themselves as Blaze Foley and the Beaver Valley Boys, with Gurf the only Beaver Valley Boy. But soon, Blaze began making a name for himself and the band grew.
Blaze attracted the attention of fledgling Zephyr Records and the band headed into the studio to record a single. The rest is history, as they say, and is revealed in Duct Tape Messiah, the documentary. This album contains 15 of Gurf’s favorite songs by his former band leader and running buddy, recorded with true heart and soul by the master musician and producer.
