Bigtime pioneers of what became psych and garage.These Trippin Texans ventured to Frisco when the bands who would later DEFINE the San Fran "sound" were still toying with folk...and BLEW THEIR FRIGGIN MINDS.Although I agree with Oscargamblesfro about the ubiquitous and regrettable jug,I still have to give them 5 big stars for originality.They went on to influence a veritable plethora of sucessful bands,especially in psych and punk.Janis Joplin herself (who knew them from both of their earliest days in Texas) said she got her wailin from Roky.The rythm section changed over the years,but was always tight & thumpin and last but not least,lead guitar man Stacey Sutherland,had he lived,would have given ANY guitar god you can name a run for his money.I'm not kiddin !

one great hit...don't miss it.

inspired so many others and continue to do so. how they could they not be in the hall of fame already is an injustice that must be put right

You're gonna miss me

no

Fine mind-bending material, but not hall-worthy. Interesting fellow though

I docked one star because of the omnipresent jug, which would be ok as flavoring for a song or two, except that why is it on EVERY song? It gets very annoying after a while, though that's the only flaw in this outfit. However, this aggregation are criminally underrated, most people haven't heard of them.Erickson was a really talented and quirky lyricist, and the Easter Everywhere record is one of the great albums of American 60's psychedelia. They haven't got a chance to get in the real Hall of Fame, but who cares about that nonsense anyway?

let Roky in before the psychedelic fur start to shed the 13 th floor elevators are acid rock texas own version and they triped well

Fantastic Band. Combine the best of their two legit album's and you have a U.S. equivalent to PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN......They really are that good. Go download 'Slip inside this house' from the LP 'Easter Everywhere' NOW. DO IT!

Roky Erickson deserves any recognition we can give him. One of the most over-looked psychedelic artists, Roky made music from the depths of some place most of us will (hopefully) never experience.
