Living in the Woods in a Tree is an intimate glimpse into the turbulent life of Texas music legend Blaze Foley (1949-1989), seen through the eyes of Sybil Rosen, the woman for whom he wrote his most widely known song, "If I Could Only Fly". It captures the exuberance of their fleeting idyll in a tree house in the Georgia woods during the countercultural 1970s. Rosen offers a firsthand witnessing of Foley's transformation from a reticent hippie musician to the enigmatic singer/songwriter who would live and die outside society's rules.
In a work that is part memoir, part biography, Rosen struggles to finally come to terms with Foley's myth and her role in its creation. Her tracing of his impact on her life navigates a lovers' road map along the permeable boundary between life and death. A must-listen for all Blaze Foley and Texas music fans as well as romantics of all ages, Living in the Woods in a Tree is an honest and compassionate portrait of the troubled artist and his reluctant muse.

Living in the Woods in a Tree Remembering Blaze Foley (Audible Audio Edition) Sybil Rosen Pam Ward Tantor Audio Books Reviews
Pretty good story and retrospective. Well written. Captured the character of the man and the relationship with the author. Jumped around chronologically somewhat but still came together ok. I might have given it higher rating but I am not familiar with Blaze Foley's music so it did not have the personal hook for me though it was good enough read to hold me.
Lovely memoir. I’m from Austin and was in college during those years. She captured the spirit of ‘old’ Austin. She brought someone to life for me. I bought the music. I want to see the movie, but stories do so much more for me. I think he did it became a legend. Thanks
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!
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 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.
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.
