Notes
Izzy Cox ........is an anarchist crooner she has coined the style Voodoobilly Jazz as her own; Influenced by old movie soundtracks, Old time bar room blues and country singers. Her lyrics are like diary entries.. Stories of serial killers, buckaroo cowboys, snake handlers and sports of nature . ************** She had a unusual childhood, for the formative years of her life she would live part of her years in rural Texas, and then in French Canadian Montreal. Throughout her moving around she was part of a religious organization where she played in marching bands. At the age of twelve she found the traveling bug, she lived and worked in horse racing tracks, traveled with circuses and took part of many early punk rock mosh pits.. *************** All by the age of sixteen.. At sixteen she released her first two tape track recordings.. And has never turned back.. Till she was 27 years she was involved with a leading and progressive musical movement in Montreal putting out 10 records and playing 4-6 night a week... and her peers consisted of ..Godspeed! You black.., Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Arcade of fire, The Dears, The unicorns..basically the top 20 of independent music today.. *************** After a 15 year career in the East Coast She caught a Greyhound to Hollywood California... ************* At a backyard vegan barbeque hootenanny in silverlake, she met guitar player Billy Pitman, who, up to that time had played with pretty much everybody he would want to (Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert Sumlin, Janis Martin, Gatemouth Brown, LouAnn Barton, Billy Gibbons, Brian from KIX, Rev. Horton Heat, Eric Clapton, and the list goes on)except for Izzy after seeing her solo set. **************** After only five years she put out four albums and has opened up for and counts among her peers Wayne Hancock, Jr Brown,Jack White, Candye Kane, Big Sandy and the Fly Rite boys,Devil Doll and Soda and his million piece band,The Jim Rose Circus, and counts among her fans Todd the Surfer, Gene Autry and Rick Rubin who apparently dug her stripped down sound from live appearances on college radio stations. **************** She has dedicated her life to touring & playing music & writing songs about her experiences... and would like to play your venue, wedding, house party, death march etc.... And here as a few words from Izzy Cox.. 'Some people have cars, some people have houses hell some folks are married...but that's all the same to me as long I have my guitar and my songs...' *****************8 Thank you Sincerely XXXXXXXXXX OOOOOOOOOO Izzy Cox Please enjoy this 13 album called love letters from the electric chair...
