Roxy spent her formative years listening to swing records, which inspired her to begin her musical career at an early age. Her first appearance at age10 was at the famous Glen Island Casino in her home town, New Rochelle, New York. Soon after, her family moved to Los Angeles, California, where Roxy appeared at the Shrine Auditorium. Four years later, they moved back to New York. As a teen, Roxy was fronting a ten-piece Soul band six nights a week at the infamous Peppermint Lounge, Times Square, New York. It was there she was discovered, and was booked as a back-up vocalist for a four-year tour with the pop-Rock act, “Dawn.” In the eighties, Roxy was signed to Personal Records, who released an EP that ranked high on the Billboard charts. This began a new phase of Roxy's solo recording career, which led her to Blues. Here in my CD player is her fourth Blues CD release, IN MY SWEET TIME. It is Roxy's third release on her label, BluePerry Hill Records. IN MY SWEET TIME has twelve original songs and one cover, Hank Williams Senior’s I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY. We can report that she has brought new life to this song in her rendition. Her unforgettable Blues style brings the most perfect feeling possible to this country classic. We do not often see a female Blues harp player. Roxy's very adept harp playing brings merit to female harp players who are so rare. This is well exemplified in her harp solo in this Hank Williams Sr. classic. BED OF BLUES begins the album with a piano intro (Mike Ventimiglia) and guitarist (Chris Vitarello). We can call it Urban or real City Blues, influenced by the New York City - Big Apple Jazz sound. What impresses me most is Roxy Perry's capability to mix so many Blues-related music styles into her songs. Blues, R&B, Jump, Swing, Country, Jazz, Latin, Delta… GOODBYE HONEY is an example of her Jazz style, including a flexible piano solo. and of course, Roxy's delicious voice. The acoustic number, LET ME HAVE MY REST, is yet another example of Roxy's diverse style. Matt Baxter (dobro and stomp box) and Roxy's sensitive vocal and harp solo compliment each other. BLUES COMES TO CALL is a beautiful Funk groove – All horns expertly played by Frosty Lawson. The multi-talented Roxy Perry produced and did the musical arrangements for this CD as well! We can conclude, by the merit of this CD, that Roxy will certainly do very well in Europe. The New York Blues Queen is ready to conquer Europe!
