Nashville’s sweetheart, Luke Grimes, just gave us the ultimate musical treat by releasing his take on Blaze Foley’s classic “Clay Pigeons,” and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed. The cover, dropped today, adds a fresh twist to the iconic 1989 original, bringing the outlaw country vibes back in style.
Grimes, currently rocking stages on his tour, couldn’t help but gush about Blaze Foley, calling him one of the most underrated country music legends. “He truly was outlaw country in every sense, and he practiced what he preached,” Grimes said.
“Clay Pigeons” holds a special place in Grimes’s musical heart, claiming the top spot among his all-time favorites. He praised the song’s simple yet profound structure, melody, and lyrics, giving a nod to Foley’s masterful songwriting. “There’s something so comforting about the melancholy feel of this song,” Grimes shared.
