Luke Grimes releases Amazon Original Cover

Grimes will perform at Stagecoach this weekend

Mercury Nashville/Range Music recording artist Luke Grimes releases an Amazon Original song, a cover of Blaze Foley’s “Clay Pigeons (Amazon Original).” Grimes will perform that song and others, on Sunday, April 30th, when he performs for the first time at the Stagecoach Festival in Indio, CA.

For Amazon Music, Grimes covered famed Texas artist, Blaze Foley’s song “Clay Pigeons,” which originally was released in February of 1989.

“In my opinion, Blaze Foley is one of the more underrated singer songwriters in the history books of country music,” Grimes shares. “He truly was outlaw country in every sense, and he practiced what he preached. Clay Pigeons is not only my favorite song from Blaze, but one of my favorite songs of all time. The structure, melody, and lyrics are all so simple, yet they come together to say something so profound. The songwriting is masterful. There has always been something so comforting to me about the melancholy feel of this song.”

Grimes’ debut Stagecoach performance will be included in the Stagecoach livestream which will be available to stream on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and Prime Video at 2:35 pm PT.
