13th Floor Elevators Artist Snapshot:

Led by the inimitable Roky Erickson, the 13th Floor Elevators not only defined the acid-tinged sound of 1960s American garage music, they established a precedent for wild, unhinged Texas rock as well. Erickson's powerful vocals and trippy lyrics mixed perfectly with the band's blend of gritty R&B and psychedelic swirls. Add to that what is perhaps rock & roll's only electric jug player and you have the ingredients for a truly legendary band. Sadly, Erickson was placed in a mental institution after a 1969 drug bust. His exposure to electroshock therapy there ended both the band and Erikson's chances for a normal existence. Roky soldiered on, though, and released a string of albums during the '70, '80s, and '90s that were simultaneously beautiful and terrifying.

Review

Q (8/02, p.70) - "...The Texas tornadoes whip up a storm with the help of Roky Erickson's fried yowl and such quantities of acid that some of the band promptly disappeared altogether..."

Recording information: 1966 - 1967.

Texas psyche-rock legends the 13th Floor Elevators released their second studio album, EASTER EVERYWHERE, in 1967. Continuing in the tradition established by their debut, EASTER EVERYWHERE is built on garage-band R&B and swirling acid-rock, with lead singer Roky Erickson's haunting wail and Tommy Hall's percolating electric jug lines front and center. While rave-ups like "Earthquake," "She Lives (In A Time of Her Own)," and "Nobody to Love" find the Elevators at their beguiling best, the album's centerpiece is a sprawling, pastoral, and achingly restrained take on Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" (here titled simply "Baby Blue" ) in which Erickson snakes his away around the lyrics showing off the sweetly damaged croon that made him an underground icon. While they'll never get the acclaim garnered by the Grateful Dead or Jefferson Airplane, the Elevators made truly psychedelic music, fueled as much by chemicals and the spirit of the times as the beautifully strange journeys Roky Erickson took through his troubled mind. EASTER EVERYWHERE is an excellent place to join Roky's trip.
