@ajroach42 wrote this very kind bio that makes me sound cool. I really love it, and it's from the zine we include with the public domain album.

Doctor Deathray
Born in Atlanta in the latter half of the 1900s, Doctor Deathray is a figure shrouded in mystery. She spent much of her adolescence learning the art of the blues while living under a false name, bouncing between the hills of rural Virginia and the dusty streets of various Atlanta suburbs before spending a decade studying her craft apprenticed to various musical legends in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and finally making a home in the hills and hollers of Southern Appalachia.

She has, to date, recorded several dozen sides of original music, traditional songs, and covers. Frequently accompanied by a backing band known as The Implements of Destruction.

Doctor Deathray was gracious enough to bless us with fresh recordings, original arrangements, and even a fresh composition for this celebration of the public domain.

I love this so much. It makes me smile.
