Roxy Gordon
Roxy Gordon (March 7, 1945 – February 7, 2000) was a Choctaw and Assiniboine poet, novelist, musician and activist. He lived in Talpa, Texas, and had a following in England. In the 1970s, he ran a country music magazine, Picking up the Tempo, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His first CD was titled Smaller Circles.[1] He ran a small publishing company called Wowapi.[2]
Gordon used spoken vocals accompanied by music that mixed Native American rhythms with country and western themes and musicians working in Texas at the time. His circle included legendary singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt and others who respected poetic narratives.[3]
