Roky Erickson has been dominating my speakers for the past 2 weeks as he does every year around this time. If you don't have it, I highly recommend picking up The Evil One (Plus One) which includes his Evil One/I Think Of Demons album plus a radio show that has some killer interview segments in addition to early versions of the songs.
Heed the warning of this song: If it's raining and your running don't slip in mud cause if you do you might slip in blood tonight......is the night of the vampire

Roky is a genius and The Evil One is one of the best rock albums ever, it almost feels like a 'best of' album, the songs scream HIT HIT HIT, but this aint a perfect world...
ReplyDeleteWhile everyone was excited about the Beatles or Neil Young box sets this year, I was grooving to the new awesome 10 CD box set by the 13th FLOOR ELEVATORS!!!
Happy Halloween!

Roky is only now being given his due after years of obscurity. The box set is great. There is also a group on Google where you could score a boatload of bootleg material as well as meticulously digitized copies of the original LPs from mint original copies, plus a lot of Roky solo stuff.
