May The Circle Remain Unbroken: A Stribute to Roky Erickson, 2021 on LIght In The Attic

Posthumous tribute album for Roky Erickson by the same producer who assembled Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye, which was a 1990 tribute album that introduced my to many of his songs (though I also knew the 13th Floor Elevators LPs).

Tracklist and participants:

  • Billy F. Gibbons – “(I’ve Got) Levitation”
  • Mosshart Sexton – “Starry Eyes”
  • Jeff Tweedy – “For You (I’d Do Anything)”
  • Lynn Castle & Mark Lanegan – “Clear Night For Love”
  • The Black Angels – “Don’t Fall Down”
  • Neko Case – “Be and Bring Me Home”
  • Margo Price – “Red Temple Prayer (Two-Headed Dog)”
  • Gary Clark Jr. & Eve Monsees – “Roller Coaster”
  • Ty Segall – “Night of the Vampire”
  • Lucinda Williams – “You’re Gonna Miss Me”
  • Chelsea Wolfe – “If You Have Ghosts”
  • Brogan Bentley – “May The Circle Remain Unbroken”

Plus a “Record Store Day only” 7″ flexi-disc single with Erickson himself doing “Love Hieroglyphics” from “the early ’70s.”

My copy—via Down in the Valley in Golden Valley, MN—included the 7″ flexi-disk. as well as a 16 page book.

There was a very short time when psychedelic wasn't boring : What I like about Roky Erickson and the 13th floor elevators is that it sounds just like Buddy Holly on acid. 😵‍💫🎸

#RokyErickson brachte 1986 gleich zwei Alben heraus – neben "Don't Slander Me" erschien auch #GremlinsHavePictures über das Label Pink Dust Records. Das Live-Compilation-Album enthält Material aus sieben Jahren mit verschiedenen Begleitbands und zeigt Ericksons vielseitiges Schaffen in den 1980er Jahren. Während "Don't Slander Me" im selben Jahr als Studio-Produktion mit Jack Casady von Jefferson Airplane am Bass aufgenommen wurde [...]

This morning's #workout #music is from The Black Angels who channel the spirit of #RokyErickson like no others. This show is from 2013 - a full decade after I saw them at a club here in #Seattle - consistency of vision is key to their success, methinks.

I'm generally annoyed with the use of popular music in TV shows and movies. As much as I loved Out Flag Means Death, this broke the suspension of disbelief a few times.

However, I wasn't prepared for a recent #wednesday episode. They played the #rokyerickson song "I Walked with a Zombie" at an appropriate moment.

A nice surprise since it's a relatively obscure song. Is "Two-headed dog" possible later?

1986 veröffentlichte #RokyErickson, Ex-Frontmann der #13thFloorElevators, #GremlinsHavePictures. Das Album sammelt Raritäten mit Ericksons typischer Mischung aus düsterem Rock und Horrorfilm-Themen. Der Eröffnungstrack #NightOfTheVampire entstand während einer schwierigen Lebensphase Ericksons, der nach Klinikaufenthalten zurückgezogen lebte. Die Platte enthält auch "The Interpreter" und "John Lawman" und wurde später neu aufgelegt.
