Dorothy Martin’s life changed forever when she was forced to face death on her tour bus some three years ago. After her guitar technician had taken an overdose, Dorothy instinctively began praying for his survival. While he may have temporarily died, the technician was astonishingly, miraculously restored back to life. It was this moment that seemed to bring Dorothy to life too. It was this divine intervention that caused a radical and spiritual awakening in the singer, the result of which can be heard on Gifts From The Holy Ghost, Dorothy’s third studio album as front person for the pseudonymous, blues-rock band Dorothy.
“I think this album is going to speak to a lot of people, it’s meant to be healing, unifying, eye-opening, ear-opening, heart-opening and celebratory,” says Dorothy, adding: “I wanted to make the realest album I could make, and I went in with the question does this make me feel alive? Does it make me feel free? If a song didn’t give me chills or make my heart soar, then it didn’t make the cut.”
Gifts From The Holy Ghost sees its release this spring via Roc Nation/ Spinefarm. Today Dorothy has announced an extensive headlining North American tour which kicks off in San Diego on March 21 and spans throughout the U.S., coast to coast.

“Rest In Peace” Lyrics:
Blood on my hands what’s done is done
left you by the road with the crows in the dust
Heart so hollow deep as a cave
One day I’ll be dancing on your grave
Takin it back the life you stole
Every little piece you took of my soul
Now I lay you down to sleep
And pray with the devil
You Rest In Peace
You can’t hang your chains on me
When you’re six feet deep
This heart ain’t yours to bleed
Now that yours no longer beats
Hallelujah I’m Over you yeah
I buried you oh lord your dead to me
Rest in peace
Black Umbrella
In the pouring rain
No preacher No prayer
To cry your name
A little to late to right Your wrongs
No one laying roses on your bones
No tears no loving memories
Long is the road out of hell And the misery
So By my decree
You can’t hang your chains on me
When you’re six feet deep
This heart ain’t yours to bleed
Now that yours no longer beats
Hallelujah I’m Over you yeah
I buried you oh lord your dead to me
Rest in peace
You can’t hurt me now Can’t hold me down
What’s done is done
You can’t hurt me now Can’t hold me down
I’ve had enough
Oh lord your dead to me so I lay you down I lay you down to sleep
You can’t hang your chains on me
When you’re six feet deep
This heart ain’t yours to bleed
Now that yours no longer beats
Hallelujah I’m Over you yeah
I buried you oh lord your dead to me
Rest in peace
