Arrestingly singular and deeply moving, this 1988 album by Choctaw, Assiniboine, and Texan poet, journalist, artist, activist, and musician Roxy Gordon (First Coyote Boy) (1945-2000) - whose long out-of-print work has been acclaimed by friends such as Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, and Terry Allen - sets his cold-blooded, bone-lean reflections on the complexities and contradictions of American Indian (and American) history and identity to atmospheric, synth-damaged country-rock that skirts ambient textures and postpunk deconstructions.
The gatefold package of this first-ever reissue - a decade in the making and the first in an archival series - includes new and restored artwork and a chapbook, featuring forty-eight pages of lyrics, essays, photographs, and First Coyote Boy's extraordinary drawings for each song (the chapbook is included in the LP edition only).
"Roxy Gordon is a brother of mine. I don’t like the word "poet"; it is usually used too lightly. Roxy, however, is a real one. God bless him and the buffalo he rode in on" - Townes Van Zandt.
