Lucy Dacus Shares ‘Clay Pigeons’ From Forthcoming Blaze Foley Tribute

The track arrives as the first glimpse of a Lost Art Records compilation that also includes contributions from Lucinda Williams, Phosphorescent, and John Moreland.

Lucy Dacus has released a cover of “Clay Pigeons,” previewing an upcoming Blaze Foley tribute album due on Lost Art Records. The compilation is set to feature interpretations from a select group of artists, including Lucinda Williams, Phosphorescent, and John Moreland. Dacus’s take on the song, long associated with both Foley and John Prine’s cherished version, leans into a quiet directness that avoids reverence in favor of a more personal delivery.

No release date has been confirmed for the full record, but the choice of contributors suggests a lineup built around emotional clarity rather than genre spectacle. Each of the named artists has a history of treating other people’s songs as material to inhabit, not just perform, which aligns with the spirit of Foley’s own ragged, deeply felt catalog. Dacus’s “Clay Pigeons” sets a tone of understated attention—the kind that tends to hold a tribute together.
