Artist History Roxy Dawn, a true story. Dangerous electric shock treatment, two children too soon, left her family for the open road, a gypsy and child of the wind. Fell in love with a riverboat gambler, ran a whorehouse, and sang her great songs on the streets of Nashville, where Bob Dylan discovered her and offered her a record deal. For a year Roxy walked across America on the American Indian’s "Longest Walk". She moved to Woodstock and created the Holiday Dinner for the poor and lonely at Christmas time; she got the whole town to volunteer the food, the community center and the music. She ran it for 15 years until her terminal liver illness finally took her life in August, 2001. Her great songs and poetry must not die with her. This CD is produced from work tapes made in the ‘70s and ‘80s in Woodstock, Nashville and New York. Roxy Dawn led a wild, exciting and difficult life; she was mugged, raped, and beaten; she was poor and lived her last 12 years in constant agony. Yet her spirit breathed love of life and her actions were compassionate and inspiring. She believed in the basic goodness of people and often asked that we "Keep Faith In The Power Of The Good"..
