PINKY'S BLUES, is named after Sue Foley’s pink paisley Fender Telecaster electric guitar that has been such a major part of Foley's life for all these years. Part of that is the total devotion Sue Foley has to the guitar, and in particular to the one she calls Pinky that has been with her for decades and continues to play on this album. Foley feels it's almost a living extension of who she is and helps guide her through the rambunctiously deep renditions of everything she performs. The open-flow feel of the great empty spaces of Texas that blows through many of the songs, no matter whether they're previous classics like Lavelle White's "Stop These Teardrops,” Frankie Lee Sims' "Boogie Real Low" or Jimmy Donley's "Think It Over" or newer songs like Angela Strehli's "Two Bit Texas Town" and Foley's own "Dallas Man." Sue Foley had an overall idea for how she wanted the music to be. "We just wanted to make something representative of the Texas blues that we had been schooled on in Austin. So, we picked great songs and I wrote a few of my own to round things out. Everything on it is a labor of love."
