Cofounder of Pyschedelia and literal madman of the 13th Floor Elevators has sofar career documented. Mostly rock and 60s pop with some Byrds/Dylan folk. Twangy voiced songs of demons and devils pervade with excellent bands. Plenty of reverb and jug-trippiness on the 13th stuff and Aliens are tight 80s rock. Very personal stuff here with a big whiff of the loony bin. Philosophical content. Slip inside this house of madness and dig it! 1) Animals/Velvet Pop, groove - pre-13th 2)* hot, fantastic jug. Harp solo 3) psychedelic lyrics 4)* guitar solo, energetic 5)* funny start, madness lyrics in surf rock 6) love song with soft back vox 7)**** total epic psych journey - philosophy -jug 8) sweet pop balld like #1 9) silly rhymes, incoherent musically 10) voice in his head w/ chimes of freedom, harp break 11)* mystical toe tapper 6m -------- end 13th floor elevators ---------- 12) acoustic letter, Dylanesque harp 13)* raw groove of incomprehensibility w/Doug Sahm 14) sappy love song 15) rocknroll travel song with psych-autoharp 16) dual leads with language 17) pop repetition 18)* acoustic dejavu w/dingdingdingdoowah 19)* hot rocker, cool descending chords 20) He's real evil 21) the Stones in the asylum - fun 22) haunted maniac, nice rockin ------ CD2 ------------------------------- 1)* good time rockin 'scary' swamp words 2) horror movie 3) hammers at you, decent guitar solo 4)* punky simplicity about life inside loonybin 5) Lucifer rocks out 6) rushing lyrics, tom toms 7) folky paean, messy 8)* folky love, 60s style w/ witches& Jack Johnson 9) potest song, duh! 10)* blues, screaming guitar 11) 65 pop, - the Byrds 12) big guitar 60s, few words 13) roadhouse boogie 14) 60s love pop 15)* plodding ballad, disquieting 16) Billy Bragg country 17) simple folk 18) laughably sweet pop love song 19)* very familiar... nice fingerpickin, msg to his judge? 20) Byrds again 21) erratic singing, jangly pop | ||
