Most people live their life in quiet desperation, and usually indoors.

Most people live their life in quiet desperation, and usually indoors. Mr. Foley blazed the outdoors and made the rest of us unique. A rare book about a rare being. -Colonel Bruce Hampton. More famous dead than alive, Blaze Foley continues growing in legend. Romantic without being cloying, Living in the Woods in a Tree is perhaps the most complete vision of the Duct Tape Messiah as we're likely to get, and Rosen portrays a complex, confounding subject with a simplicity and seductiveness that's all too rare.

Living In The Woods In A Tree: Remembering Blaze Foley (North Texas Lives of Musicians Series). While his music is worth hearing, hopefully many of the less trendy will read this compassionate book for its own charms; the struggle of a woman trying to create her own art, and find her own home. Sybil captured the essence of Blaze Foley in a way that opened up the heart of her journey to the world. I recommend this to anyone who is a musician or loved a musician.

Blaze Foley: How a Forgotten Texas Songwriter Became the Year’s Best Biopic

Blaze Foley: How a Forgotten Texas Songwriter Became the Year’s Best Biopic. With ‘Blaze,’ Ethan Hawke decided to break all the rules by telling the story of an obscure singer who died in 1989. Before writing the film, Hawke, 47, discovered Living in the Woods in a Tree, a book by Foley’s ex-wife, Sybil Rosen, about how they met at an artist community in Georgia in their mid-twenties and spent an idyllic year living in a treehouse. Foley eventually ended the relationship to focus on his growing career. But fame never happened – the master tapes to his first album were stolen, and he started using crystal meth.

Reviews about Living in the Woods in a Tree: Remembering Blaze Foley (North Texas Lives of Musician Series) (7):
Leniga
I wanted to read this account of Blaze Foley and his life and times, in roll-up to the Ethan Hawke-directed biopic. Ms.Rosen's prose lends insight to their experiences and Foley`s music in such a personal way that you will feel as if you are "on the road" and even in the woods with them. You won't regret this read.

When Dep first came to Austin, Lindsey Horton brought him over to our house. A short while later Blaze brought Sybil over to meet us, and we all went swimming out at Paleface Park, (Blaze didn't swim). For all of the rest of his life he treated me as a King. Blaze loved my beautiful Jewish wife Joni. Blaze loved Joni because she reminded him of Sybil, and he admired the ability we had to get over our differences and stay together. I would go and hear Blaze play for years in Austin, and many times when the show was over; I would give him a ride to where ever he was staying at the time. I bought him the plane ticket to fly to New Orleans so that he could go with Lindsey to Mardi Gras. While they were waiting to fly home to Austin he wrote "If I could only Fly". I was with Balze at the house he was murdered in, just a few days before his death. Blaze was a friend of mine.
I was blown away at how beautiful Sybil was, and was always very sorry that we had not gotten to spend more time with her, and yes she was the love of his life. After reading her book about Blaze, "Living in the Woods In a Tree", I feel that I have gotten to know them both in a very special way. Blaze did not talk about himself very often, and it was truly wonderful to read Sybil's story about her time with Dep. I believe that anyone who is in anyway a fan of Blaze Foley, should absolutely read this beautiful and clearly tragic story about Blaze and the woman he absolutely couldn't get over.

I'm not even through Ms. Rosen's book, but I felt compelled to write a review, which I am not usually inclined to do. When I read the introduction, I knew I was in for it, as the tears began to flow. They have continued to flow. I had been vaguely aware of Blaze Foley, via Townes Van Zandt, but had not really listened to his music that much. That's all changed. I'm trying not to finish the book too quickly (I hate it when really good books end), but I'm already planning to read it again. The way Ms. Rosen wrote her story, dividing it into time periods, is perfect, and lets you into the moments she shared with Blaze in the beginning, and the emotions she feels finding him all over again. This is a true love story. Highly recommended to all true music lovers.

I recently saw the movie" Blaze " in Austin, Texas. The movie spurred me to read and learn more. I have been a fan of Blazes' music for a long time and cant help but want to know more about this complex, troubled soul. Cant help but wish the story had a happier ending...the man was a talented, gifted song writer who deserves to be remembered for more than his addiction and illness. Sybil Rosen accomplishes that nicely.

You want to know more about this enigmatic troubadour? You want a happy, sad, fulfilling but unrequited love story? You want to dive into a very professional work of literature? You want a page turner? This is your book. A deft mixture of Ms. Rosen's personal experiences with Foley, built around what is known and what she remembers of his professional journey, makes this an intriguing read. It is a masterful picture of a time, an industry, a lifestyle, experiences, unintended consequences....all bound up and framed by a well structured text and exhaustive research. She does not exaggerate Foley's skills and promise; nor, does she whitewash his proclivity for self destruction or the undisciplined actions that torpedo his attempts at achieving musical success. Foley seemed to disdain "....being a star; he wanted to become a legend." She lays out, skillfully, but with feeling, why, sadly, he succeeded at both.

Ms. Rosen's journey of discovery, of reflection, of attempting to understand both Foley and herself is a riveting story and a well crafted read.

I read this book to learn more about Blaze Foley. While I did learn more, I also came away the knowledge that Sybil Rosen is a wonderful writer. I would recommend this book to anyone - Foley fans or otherwise. What a story!

Sybil Rosen shared what now seems to have been a brief but wonderful time with a group of friends and a special man, Blaze Foley, musician, poet, and song writer. There is so much fun in the lives of these bright young people at the beginning, followed by a senseless tragedy at the end. An interesting structure takes the reader back and forth in time as the author tries to re-discover the places she shared with Blaze, and her search for his life after they had parted. If you love Blaze Foley's music, you'll enjoy learning more about the life these young lovers shared.
Thank you, Sybil, for these superlative insights into one of our favorite local heroes. I look forward your other work.
