13th Floor Elevators Frontman's 1995 "Comeback" Album Reissued on White Vinyl!
White vinyl. Play Loud! Productions present a reissue of Roky Erickson's All That May Do My Rhyme, originally released in 1995.
Roky Erickson is a legend. Former member of the 13th Floor Elevators, he was considered the white James Brown. Drug problems and diagnosed schizophrenia made him an outsider. By the '90s, he was struggling to survive on a $200 monthly Social Security check. In 1990, artists like R.E.M., ZZ Top, and the Jesus and Mary Chain recorded his songs for a tribute album. Erickson performed publicly for the first time in many years at the Austin Music Awards. In 1994, he returned to the studio with guitarists Charlie Sexton and the Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary to record All That May Do My Rhyme. This record was released on CD, cassette, and vinyl in 1995 on Paul Leary's Trance Syndicate Records. Notes from the original press release: "Trance Syndicate is pleased to present the first studio recording in almost a decade by one of the most gifted, most influential, most inspired singer/songwriters from the Republic of Texas since Buddy Holly. Roky Erickson is back! Performing new songs and a few classics in one of the best studios in Texas, backed by some of Texas' finest musicians."
This is no cheap live tape, crummy reissue, nor a slimy bootleg. This is the real thing.
